CHAPTER VIII
Death in the Cave

ture with some melancholy.
Indeed he knew that in the lonp
run such a cheerful and versatile
soul as Giuseppe was more likely tic

Much puzzled, Brendon delayed
only to get his revolver and an cleo
trio torch. He then descended with
Doria to the water and they were
soon afloat again. The launch
grounded her prov on little beach
before the, entrance of Robert Red
mayne's hiding place.
Both men landed and Giuseppe
made fast the launch. Then immedi-
ate evidence of tragedy confronted
them. The lamp stood on ledge
and flung radius of light over the
floor beneath. Here had been COL
lected the food and drink supplied
to Redmayne on the previous day,
and it was clear that he had eaten
and drunk heartily. But the arrest
ing fact appeared on the beaten and
broken surface of the ground. Heavy
boots had torn this up and plowed
burrows in it. At one spot lay an
impression, as though some large
object had fallen, and here Brendon
saw blood-a dark patch already
drying, for the substance of it was
soaked away in the sandy single
on which it had dropped.
