rew back a little, misinterpreting the other's attitude. Do I understand that I am under restraint? he asked stiffly.
Certainly not. Why should you be?
Well, returned the other contemplatively, it really might be regarded as a subject for investigation. Of course I know only a small part of it. But there have certainly been suspicious circumstances. Piracy there has been: no doubt of that. Murder, too, if my intuitions are not at fault. Or at least, a disappearance to be accounted for. Robbery can't be denied. And there's a dead body or two to be properly accredited. He looked the captain in the eye.
Well?
You'll find my story highly unsatisfactory in detail, I fancy. I merely want to know whether I'm to present it as a defence, or only an explanation.
We shall be glad to hear your story when you are ready to tell it--after you have seen Mr. Slade.
Thank you, said Darrow simply. You have heard his?
Yes. It needs filling in.
When may I see him?
That's for Dr. Trendon to say. He came to us almost dead. I'll find out.
The surgeon reported Slade much better, but all a-quiver with excitement.
Hate to put the strain on him, said he. But he'll be in a fever till he gets this thing off his mind.

After a moment's consideration Darrow said: I should like to have you and Dr. Trendon present, Captain Parkinson, while I ask Eagen one or two questions.
Understand one thing, Mr. Darrow, said Trendon briefly. This is not to be an inquisition.
Ah, said Darrow, unmoved. I'm to be neither defendant nor prosecutor.
You are to respect the condition of Dr. Trendon's patient, sir, said Captain Parkinson, with emphasis. Outside of that, your attitude toward a man who has twice thought of your life before his <a href="http://www.oakleyglasseshut.com/oakley-womens-sunglasses-oakley-commit-sq-sunglasses-c-40_20.html">discount oakley commit sq sunglasses</a> own is for you to determine.
No little cynicism lurked in Darrow's tones as he said:
You have confidence in Mr. Slade, alias Eagen.
Yes, replied Captain Parkinson, in a tone that closed that topic.
Still, I should be glad to have you gentlemen present, if only for a moment, insisted Darrow, presently.
Perhaps it would be as well--on account of the patient, said the surgeon significantly.
Very well, assented the captain.
The three went to Slade's cabin. He was lying propped up in his bunk. Trendon entered first, followed by the captain, then Darrow.
Here's your prize, Slade, said the surgeon.
Darrow halted, just inside the door. With an eager light in his face Slade leaned forward and stretched out his hand.
