I felt that the cabin was not empty, and then, there being moonlight enough, I saw the figure by the Admiral's door.

"Who is it ?" I demanded, but the unbolted door gave to the man's push, and he disappeared.

I knew it was not the Admiral and I followed at a bound.

The cabin had a window and the moonbeams came in.

They showed Felipe and his knife and the great Genoese asleep.
