run the Captain and himself up to the
companionway. He had been taken at
once to the Captains cabin, and there he
had stayed in complete seclusion until
late night, when he had joined Captain
Tidman on the wheel-deck where he was
still out of sight of the watch. For any
testimony that he could have furnished
to the contrary, the Harkdoay might have
been manned by Patagonian pirates with
glass noses. Nor could any one on board,
except his temporary employer, have
identified him as having ever been on the
ship.
Most disturbing of all to man as
straightforward as Dale, he had discov-
cred that he had shipped under the alias
OF Carl Trevor. But for Amy Lessamer
he could have wished the whole job and
the three hundred dollars-which he was
