"Oh he is, eh? Well, tell him to come out here; I want to see him." CHAPTER VII THE RABBIT FOOT CHARM "But he must have had some object!" cried the old Admiral, whose face was strongly flushed with heat and conflicting passions.

A number of the boys ran out to gather kindling and wood and soon a fire was crackling in the stove. Billy promptly scented a new danger to his plans. "If I was you I wouldn't do that, Anse," he advised. He endeavoured to recollect himself that, by calming his terrors his memory might better serve him. Urgent alarms often induce vain hopes which we should laugh at in the cool mood. He believed he might have put that letter down in his bedroom, and perfectly well knowing that he had not done so, and yet coaxed by a will-o'-the-wisp hope, he ransacked the room as though he knew that in it was to be found a gold piece of value whose discovery demanded a careful search only. What was certain in his mind was that that letter was in his pocket when he walked that morning to visit the Minorca. He remembered withdrawing it from his pocket, but in what part of the walk he knew not, and re-perusing a portion of it to refresh his memory. He tried to find comfort in the recollection that the letter bore no address and no signature. But a thundercloud of horror came down on this feeble streak of sunshine when he recalled the damning, incriminating contents of that sheet[Pg 152] which he had scrawled in pencil at "The Swan Inn." Whoever found it would know that Mr Lawrence, and Mr Lawrence alone, had written it, and this, too, irrespective of the handwriting. Billy grinned. "An' I got a piece of news fer you fellers, too," he returned. "But go on, your news first, Jim.".
