I made up my mind to that last night, and I am very glad Miss Markham told me her opinion of the rights of the thing before I mentioned it.
Now, I have just got time to say a few words more.

If there should be any discussion about the ownership of this gold and the way it ought to be divided, there would be trouble, and perhaps bloody trouble.

There are those black fellows coming up here, and two of them speak English.
Eight of my men went away in a boat, and they may come back at any time.
And then, there were those two Cape Cod men, who went off first.

They may have reached the other side of the mountains, and may bring us assistance overland.

As for Davis, I know he will never come back.
