CHAPTER XXII.
After a while Lexman resumed his story.
"I told you that there was a man at the palazzo named Salvolio.

Salvolio was a man who had been undergoing a life sentence in one of the prisons of southern Italy.

In some mysterious fashion he escaped and got across the Adriatic in a small boat.

How Kara found him I don't know.

Salvolio was a very uncommunicative person.
