Mrs.
Weldon
hardly
saw
Jose-Antonio
Alvez
,
who
occupied
the
principal
house
of
the
factory
.
She
did
not
see
Negoro
at
all
,
as
he
lodged
outside
;
but
his
absence
was
quite
inexplicable
.
This
absence
continued
to
astonish
her
,
and
make
her
feel
anxious
at
the
same
time
.
"
What
does
he
want
?
What
is
he
waiting
for
?
"
she
asked
herself
.
"
Why
has
he
brought
us
to
Kazounde
?

So
had
passed
the
eight
days
that
preceded
and
followed
the
arrival
of
Ibn
Hamis
's
caravan
--
that
is
,
the
two
days
before
the
funeral
ceremonies
,
and
the
six
days
that
followed
.
In
the
midst
of
so
many
anxieties
,
Mrs.
Weldon
could
not
forget
that
her
husband
must
be
a
prey
to
the
most
frightful
despair
,
on
not
seeing
either
his
wife
or
his
son
return
to
San
Francisco
.
Mr.
Weldon
could
not
know
that
his
wife
had
adopted
that
fatal
idea
of
taking
passage
on
board
the
"
Pilgrim
,
"
and
he
would
believe
that
she
had
embarked
on
one
of
the
steamers
of
the
Trans-Pacific
Company
.
Now
,
these
steamers
arrived
regularly
,
and
neither
Mrs.
Weldon
,
nor
Jack
,
nor
Cousin
Benedict
were
on
them
.
Besides
,
the
"
Pilgrim
"
itself
was
already
overdue
at
Sun
Francisco
.
As
she
did
not
reappear
,
James
W.
Weldon
must
now
rank
her
in
the
category
of
ships
supposed
to
be
lost
,
because
not
heard
of
.
What
a
terrible
blow
for
him
,
when
news
of
the
departure
of
the
"
Pilgrim
"
and
the
embarkation
of
Mrs.
Weldon
should
reach
him
from
his
correspondents
in
Auckland
!
What
had
he
done
?
Had
he
refused
to
believe
that
his
son
and
she
had
perished
at
sea
?
But
then
,
where
would
he
search
?
Evidently
on
the
isles
of
the
Pacific
,
perhaps
on
the
American
coast
.
But
never
,
no
never
,
would
the
thought
occur
to
him
that
she
had
been
thrown
on
the
coast
of
this
fatal
Africa
!
So
thought
Mrs.
Weldon
.
But
what
could
she
attempt
?
Flee
!
How
?
She
was
closely
watched
.

And
then
to
flee
was
to
venture
into
those
thick
forests
,
in
the
midst
of
a
thousand
dangers
,
to
attempt
a
journey
of
more
than
two
hundred
miles
to
reach
the
coast
.
And
meanwhile
Mrs.
Weldon
was
decided
to
do
it
,
if
no
other
means
offered
themselves
for
her
to
recover
her
liberty
.
But
,
first
,
she
wished
to
know
exactly
what
Negoro
's
designs
were
.
At
last
she
knew
them
.
On
the
6th
of
June
,
three
days
after
the
burial
of
Kazounde
's
king
,
Negoro
entered
the
factory
,
where
he
had
not
yet
set
foot
since
his
return
.
He
went
right
to
the
hut
occupied
by
his
prisoner
.
