hunter would have hard row to hoe.
And made UP my mind such rumor
should be sOwn broadcast; aye, more,
that if the necessity arose, l would
throw off my own disguise and front
him openly with the charge. I could
do no more.
1t was only an accident which gave
me clue to the real program. Mapes
sent me back into the vacant space
just forward of the paddle-wheel, seek
ing a lost canthOok, and, as l turned
about to return, the missing tool in my
hand, l paused a moment to glance
curiOusly out through slit in the
boats planking, attracted by the sound
of a loud voice uttering command
l was facing the shore and body of
men, unupiformed, ilouching along
with small regard to order, but each
bearing rifle across his shoulder,
were just tipping the ridge and plow-
ing their way down through the Slip
perry clay in the direction of the for
ward gangway. Although 1 saw, not
for an instant did my gaze linger on
their disOrdcred ranks. The sight
which held me mOtionless was rather
that of long, broad plank, protected
on either side by rope rail, stretch
ing from the slope of the second deck
across the narrow gulf of water, until
it rested it's other end firmly against
the bank.
The meaning of this was sufficiently
apparent For some reason of his
own, Kirby had evidently chosen this
means of attaining the shore, and
through personal friendship, COrcoran
had consented to aid his purpose. The
reason, plainly enough, was that by use
of this stern gangway the landing par
ty would be enabled to attain the bank
without the necessity Of pushing their
way through the crowd of idle loung-
ers forward. And the passage had just
been accomplished, for, as my eyes TO-
cuSsed the scene, they recognized the
spare figure of the deputy disappear
ing over the creSt-a vague glimpse,
but sufficient At the same instant
hands above began to draw in the
plank.
There was but one thing for me to
do, one action to take-fOllOw them.
Dropping the canthOok, / turned aft
and crept forth through small open
ing onto the wooden frame which sup
