"
With
him
.
Mulrady
wanted
to
speak
to
him
,
and
they
must
not
be
disturbed
.
"
He
then
learned
that
about
an
hour
since
,
the
wounded
man
had
awakened
from
his
lethargy
,
and
the
fever
had
abated
.
But
the
first
thing
he
did
on
recovering
his
memory
and
speech
was
to
ask
for
Lord
Glenarvan
,
or
,
failing
him
,
the
Major
.
McNabbs
seeing
him
so
weak
,
would
have
forbidden
any
conversation
;
but
Mulrady
insisted
with
such
energy
that
the
Major
had
to
give
in
.
The
interview
had
already
lasted
some
minutes
when
Glenarvan
returned
.
There
was
nothing
for
it
but
to
await
the
return
of
McNabbs
.

Presently
the
leather
curtains
of
the
wagon
moved
,
and
the
Major
appeared
.
He
rejoined
his
friends
at
the
foot
of
a
gum-tree
,
where
the
tent
was
placed
.
His
face
,
usually
so
stolid
,
showed
that
something
disturbed
him
.
When
his
eyes
fell
on
Lady
Helena
and
the
young
girl
,
his
glance
was
full
of
sorrow
.
Glenarvan
questioned
him
,
and
extracted
the
following
information
:
When
he
left
the
camp
Mulrady
followed
one
of
the
paths
indicated
by
Paganel
.
He
made
as
good
speed
as
the
darkness
of
the
night
would
allow
.
He
reckoned
that
he
had
gone
about
two
miles
when
several
men
--
five
,
he
thought
--
sprang
to
his
horse
's
head
.
The
animal
reared
;
Mulrady
seized
his
revolver
and
fired
.
He
thought
he
saw
two
of
his
assailants
fall
.
By
the
flash
he
recognized
Ben
Joyce
.
But
that
was
all
.
He
had
not
time
to
fire
all
the
barrels
.
He
felt
a
violent
blow
on
his
side
and
was
thrown
to
the
ground
.
Still
he
did
not
lose
consciousness
.
The
murderers
thought
he
was
dead
.
He
felt
them
search
his
pockets
,
and
then
heard
one
of
them
say
:
"
I
have
the
letter
.
"
"
Give
it
to
me
,
"
returned
Ben
Joyce
,
"
and
now
the
Duncan
is
ours
.
"

At
this
point
of
the
story
,
Glenarvan
could
not
help
uttering
a
cry
.
McNabbs
continued
:
"
'
Now
you
fellows
,
'
added
Ben
Joyce
,
'
catch
the
horse
.
In
two
days
I
shall
be
on
board
the
Duncan
,
and
in
six
I
shall
reach
Twofold
Bay
.
This
is
to
be
the
rendezvous
.
My
Lord
and
his
party
will
be
still
stuck
in
the
marshes
of
the
Snowy
River
.
Cross
the
river
at
the
bridge
of
Kemple
Pier
,
proceed
to
the
coast
,
and
wait
for
me
.
I
will
easily
manage
to
get
you
on
board
.
Once
at
sea
in
a
craft
like
the
Duncan
,
we
shall
be
masters
of
the
Indian
Ocean
.
'
'
Hurrah
for
Ben
Joyce
!
'
cried
the
convicts
.
Mulrady
's
horse
was
brought
,
and
Ben
Joyce
disappeared
,
galloping
on
the
Lucknow
Road
,
while
the
band
took
the
road
southeast
of
the
Snowy
River
.
Mulrady
,
though
severely
wounded
,
had
the
strength
to
drag
himself
to
within
three
hundred
paces
from
the
camp
,
whence
we
found
him
almost
dead
.
There
,
"
said
McNabbs
,
"
is
the
history
of
Mulrady
;
and
now
you
can
understand
why
the
brave
fellow
was
so
determined
to
speak
.
"
This
revelation
terrified
Glenarvan
and
the
rest
of
the
party
.
