Dick
Sand
repeated
.
Then
,
suddenly
,
while
he
called
up
with
tenacious
mind
all
the
incidents
of
this
inexplicable
voyage
,
he
felt
that
his
compass
must
have
been
injured
.
He
remembered
,
too
,
that
the
first
compass
had
been
broken
,
and
that
the
log-line
had
snapped
--
a
fact
which
had
made
it
impossible
for
him
to
establish
the
speed
of
the
"
Pilgrim
.
"
"
Yes
,
"
thought
he
,
"
there
remained
but
one
compass
on
board
,
one
only
,
the
indications
of
which
I
could
not
control
!
And
one
night
I
was
awakened
by
a
cry
from
old
Tom
.
Negoro
was
there
,
aft
.
He
had
just
fallen
on
the
binnacle
.
May
he
not
have
put
it
out
of
order
?
"
Dick
Sand
was
growing
enlightened
.
He
had
his
finger
on
the
truth
.
He
now
understood
all
that
was
ambiguous
in
Negoro
's
conduct
.
He
saw
his
hand
in
this
chain
of
incidents
which
had
led
to
the
loss
of
the
"
Pilgrim
,
"
and
had
so
fearfully
endangered
those
on
board
of
her
.
But
what
,
then
,
was
this
miserable
man
?
Had
he
been
a
sailor
and
known
so
well
how
to
hide
the
fact
?
Was
he
capable
of
contriving
this
odious
plot
which
had
thrown
the
ship
on
the
coast
of
Africa
?
At
any
rate
,
if
obscure
points
still
existed
in
the
past
,
the
present
could
offer
no
more
of
them
.
The
young
novice
knew
only
too
well
that
he
was
in
Africa
,
and
very
probably
in
the
fatal
province
of
Angola
,
more
than
a
hundred
miles
from
the
coast
.
He
also
knew
that
Harris
's
treason
could
no
longer
be
doubted
.
From
this
fact
,
the
most
simple
logic
led
him
to
conclude
that
the
American
and
the
Portuguese
had
long
known
each
other
,
that
a
fatal
chance
had
united
them
on
this
coast
,
and
that
a
plan
had
been
concerted
between
them
,
the
result
of
which
would
be
dreadful
for
the
survivors
of
the
"
Pilgrim
.
"
And
now
,
why
these
odious
actions
?
That
Negoro
wished
,
at
all
hazards
,
to
seize
Tom
and
his
companions
,
and
sell
them
for
slaves
in
this
slave-trading
country
,
might
be
admitted
.
That
the
Portuguese
,
moved
by
a
sentiment
of
hatred
,
would
seek
to
be
revenged
on
him
,
Dick
Sand
,
who
had
treated
him
as
he
deserved
,
might
also
be
conceived
.
But
Mrs.
Weldon
,
this
mother
,
and
this
young
child
--
what
would
the
wretch
do
with
them
?
If
Dick
Sand
could
have
overheard
a
little
of
the
conversation
between
Harris
and
Negoro
,
he
would
have
known
what
to
expect
,
and
what
dangers
menaced
Mrs.
Weldon
,
the
blacks
,
and
himself
.
The
situation
was
frightful
,
but
the
young
novice
did
not
yield
under
it
.
Captain
on
board
,
he
remained
captain
on
land
.
He
must
save
Mrs.
Weldon
,
little
Jack
,
all
those
whose
fate
Heaven
had
placed
in
his
hands
.
His
task
was
only
commencing
.
He
would
accomplish
it
to
the
end
.
After
two
or
three
hours
,
during
which
the
present
and
the
future
were
summed
up
in
his
mind
,
with
their
good
and
their
evil
chances
--
the
last
,
alas
!
the
most
numerous
--
Dick
Sand
rose
,
firm
and
resolved
.
