It was still lacking a few minutes of the hour named when Jim, Juarez, and Berwick, who did not intend to be left out of the venture, arrived with their handbags at the wharf at...

"That's bad," remarked the professor. "I'm afraid there is something wrong with you. Still, if you go on deck, perhaps you will be better by dinner time. But while we are down h...

The two men were sitting in the inner sanctum of Attorney Reynolds' office. Unobserved, there was lying in a half opened drawer of the desk, and within easy reach of his hand a...

"We will keep on that course until morning," added the professor. "And as there is a fair breeze blowing we will proceed under sail. Ask Mr. Berwick to bank the fires in the boi...
