I
found
that
he
had
been
in
command
of
a
whaler
which
was
due
to
return
from
the
Arctic
seas
at
the
very
time
when
my
father
was
crossing
to
Norway
.
The
autumn
of
that
year
was
a
stormy
one
,
and
there
was
a
long
succession
of
southerly
gales
.
My
father
’
s
yacht
may
well
have
been
blown
to
the
north
,
and
there
met
by
Captain
Peter
Carey
’
s
ship
.
If
that
were
so
,
what
had
become
of
my
father
?
In
any
case
,
if
I
could
prove
from
Peter
Carey
’
s
evidence
how
these
securities
came
on
the
market
it
would
be
a
proof
that
my
father
had
not
sold
them
,
and
that
he
had
no
view
to
personal
profit
when
he
took
them
.
“
I
came
down
to
Sussex
with
the
intention
of
seeing
the
captain
,
but
it
was
at
this
moment
that
his
terrible
death
occurred
.
I
read
at
the
inquest
a
description
of
his
cabin
,
in
which
it
stated
that
the
old
logbooks
of
his
vessel
were
preserved
in
it
.
It
struck
me
that
if
I
could
see
what
occurred
in
the
month
of
August
,
1883
,
on
board
the
Sea
Unicorn
,
I
might
settle
the
mystery
of
my
father
’
s
fate
.
I
tried
last
night
to
get
at
these
logbooks
,
but
was
unable
to
open
the
door
.
To
-
night
I
tried
again
and
succeeded
,
but
I
find
that
the
pages
which
deal
with
that
month
have
been
torn
from
the
book
.
It
was
at
that
moment
I
found
myself
a
prisoner
in
your
hands
.
”
“
Is
that
all
?
”
asked
Hopkins
.
“
Yes
,
that
is
all
.
”
His
eyes
shifted
as
he
said
it
.
“
You
have
nothing
else
to
tell
us
?
”
He
hesitated
.
“
No
,
there
is
nothing
.
”
“
You
have
not
been
here
before
last
night
?
”
“
No
.
“
Then
how
do
you
account
for
that
?
”
cried
Hopkins
,
as
he
held
up
the
damning
notebook
,
with
the
initials
of
our
prisoner
on
the
first
leaf
and
the
blood
-
stain
on
the
cover
.
