"The chartering of a suitable vessel, fully armed and equipped for the purpose of pursuit. Ascertain whither the House boat has sailed, for what port, and start at once. THE CHARGING OF A SUITABLE VESSEL FULLY ARMED AND EQUIPPED FOR THE PURPOSE OF PURSUIT ASCERTAIN WHITHER THE HOUSEBOAT HAS SAILED FOR WHAT PORT AND START AT ONCE
ranger continued, “but, like all well-ordered shades, I aspire to the distinction, and I hold myself and my talents at the disposal of this club. I fancy it will not take us long to establish our initial point, which is that the gross person who has so foully appropriated your property to his own base uses does not contemplate removing it from its keel and placing it somewhere inland. All the evidence in hand points to a radically different conclusion, which is my sole reason for doubting the value of that conclusion. Captain Kidd is a seafarer by instinct, not a landsman. The House-boat is not a house, but a boat; therefore the place to look for it is not, as Dr. Johnson so well says, in the Sahara Desert, or on the Alps, or in the State of Ohio, but upon the high sea, or upon the waterfront of some one of the world’s great cities.” “And what, then, would be your plan?” asked Sir Walter, impressed by the stranger’s manner as well as by the very manifest reason in all that he had said.
