Put it all to yourself now, Mr.Allerdyke--on the face of what you've told me, these three people--two of 'em, at any rate, for a certainty--knew about these valuables coming over in Mr.James's charge.

So far as you know, your cousin had 'em when he left Christiania and reached Hull.

There they disappear.

So far as you're aware, nobody but these people knew of their coming--no other people in England knew, at any rate, so far, I repeat, as your knowledge goes.

I should want to know something about these three, if I were in your place, Mr.Allerdyke." "Aye--aye!" replied Allerdyke.
