The surgeon took him to be nearly thirty; but after what he has gone through he may well look three or four years older than he is.

He had light hair, rather small gray eyes, and a face that would have been good looking had it not been for its supercilious and sneering expression." "I can remember him," Mark said; "and that answers very closely to him.
I should say that it is certainly Bastow, and my father made no mistake when he asserted that he recognized his voice." The officer added a note to the description in his register: "Strongly suspected of being Arthur Bastow, transported for connivance with highwaymen; was leader of a mutiny in convict jail of Sydney two years and a half ago.

No doubt he is the man who has been concerned in most of these robberies in the southern suburbs.

We must get hold of him if we can, and once we do so there will be an end of his travels, for the mutiny in prison and escape is a hanging business, putting aside the affairs since he got back.
