Why suspect us ?" "Now just look here, Mr.Kazallon," said the boatswain, in a voice which he was endeavouring to calm down into moderation, "we are not accusing you of anything; we know well enough you, and all the rest of you, had a right to your shares as much as anybody; but that isn't it.

It's all gone somewhere, every bit." "Yes," said Sandon gruffly; "it's all gone somewheres, and we are a going to search the tent." Resistance was useless, and Miss Herbey, M.Letourneur, and Andre were all turned out.
I confess I was very fearful.

I had a strong suspicion that for the sake of his son, for whom he was ready to venture anything, M.Letourneur had committed the theft; in that case I knew that nothing would have prevented the infuriated men from tearing the devoted father to pieces.
I beckoned to Curtis for protection, and he came and stood beside me.

He said nothing, but waited with his hands in his pockets, and I think I am not mistaken in my belief that there was some sort of a weapon in each.
To my great relief the search was ineffectual.

There was no doubt that the carcase of the suicide had been thrown overboard, and the rage of the disappointed cannibals knew no bounds.
Yet who had ventured to do the deed! I looked at M.Letourneur and Miss Herbey; but their countenances at once betrayed their ignorance.
