It
was
inevitably
unfortunate
,
since
Ayrton
,
or
Ben
Joyce
,
as
he
may
be
called
,
guided
it
,
sometimes
preceded
,
sometimes
followed
by
his
band
of
convicts
,
who
had
been
told
what
they
had
to
do
.
"
Meanwhile
,
the
'
Duncan
'
had
been
sent
to
Melbourne
for
repairs
.
It
was
necessary
,
then
,
to
get
Lord
Glenarvan
to
order
her
to
leave
Melbourne
and
go
to
the
east
coast
of
Australia
,
where
it
would
be
easy
to
seize
her
.
After
having
led
the
expedition
near
enough
to
the
coast
,
in
the
midst
of
vast
forests
with
no
resources
,
Ayrton
obtained
a
letter
,
which
he
was
charged
to
carry
to
the
mate
of
the
'
Duncan
'
--
a
letter
which
ordered
the
yacht
to
repair
immediately
to
the
east
coast
,
to
Twofold
Bay
,
that
is
to
say
a
few
days
'
journey
from
the
place
where
the
expedition
had
stopped
.
It
was
there
that
Ayrton
had
agreed
to
meet
his
accomplices
,
and
two
days
after
gaining
possession
of
the
letter
,
he
arrived
at
Melbourne
.
"
So
far
the
villain
had
succeeded
in
his
wicked
design
.
He
would
be
able
to
take
the
'
Duncan
'
into
Twofold
Bay
,
where
it
would
be
easy
for
the
convicts
to
seize
her
,
and
her
crew
massacred
,
Ben
Joyce
would
become
master
of
the
seas
.
But
it
pleased
God
to
prevent
the
accomplishment
of
these
terrible
projects
.

Ayrton
,
arrived
at
Melbourne
,
delivered
the
letter
to
the
mate
,
Tom
Austin
,
who
read
it
and
immediately
set
sail
,
but
judge
of
Ayrton
's
rage
and
disappointment
,
when
the
next
day
he
found
that
the
mate
was
taking
the
vessel
,
not
to
the
east
coast
of
Australia
,
to
Twofold
Bay
,
but
to
the
east
coast
of
New
Zealand
.
He
wished
to
stop
him
,
but
Austin
showed
him
the
letter
!
...
And
indeed
,
by
a
providential
error
of
the
French
geographer
,
who
had
written
the
letter
,
the
east
coast
of
New
Zealand
was
mentioned
as
the
place
of
destination
.
"
All
Ayrton
's
plans
were
frustrated
!
He
became
outrageous
.
They
put
him
in
irons
.
He
was
then
taken
to
the
coast
of
New
Zealand
,
not
knowing
what
would
become
of
his
accomplices
,
or
what
would
become
of
Lord
Glenarvan
.
"
The
'
Duncan
'
cruised
about
on
this
coast
until
the
3rd
of
March
.
On
that
day
Ayrton
heard
the
report
of
guns
.
The
guns
on
the
'
Duncan
'
were
being
fired
,
and
soon
Lord
Glenarvan
and
his
companions
came
on
board
.

This
is
what
had
happened
.
"
After
a
thousand
hardships
,
a
thousand
dangers
,
Lord
Glenarvan
had
accomplished
his
journey
,
and
arrived
on
the
east
coast
of
Australia
,
at
Twofold
Bay
.
'
Not
"
Duncan
!
"
'
He
telegraphed
to
Melbourne
.
They
answered
,
'
"
Duncan
"
sailed
on
the
18th
instant
.
Destination
unknown
.
'
"
Lord
Glenarvan
could
only
arrive
at
one
conclusion
;
that
his
honest
yacht
had
fallen
into
the
hands
of
Ben
Joyce
,
and
had
become
a
pirate
vessel
!
