He made for the Aurora and found Captain Weaver on board. He immediately related Mr Adams' story, and asked Captain Weaver if he had seen Miss Lucy Acton down by the Minorca or near her, or aboard of her shortly before she sailed. They passed on, and then from the sable-hued cedars bordering the orchard four small figures stole and moved softly away. "That's all. Jest Walter Watland.".
