That
Ayrton
is
an
intelligent
man
,
"
said
Paganel
to
the
Major
.
"
Too
intelligent
!
"
muttered
McNabbs
,
who
,
without
any
apparent
reason
,
had
taken
a
great
dislike
to
the
face
and
manners
of
the
quartermaster
.
During
the
dinner
,
Ayrton
gave
some
interesting
details
about
the
Australian
continent
,
which
he
knew
perfectly
.
He
asked
how
many
sailors
were
going
to
accompany
the
expedition
,
and
seemed
astonished
to
hear
that
only
two
were
going
.
He
advised
Glenarvan
to
take
all
his
best
men
,
and
even
urged
him
to
do
it
,
which
advice
,
by
the
way
,
ought
to
have
removed
the
Major
's
suspicion
.
"
But
,
"
said
Glenarvan
,
"
our
journey
is
not
dangerous
,
is
it
?
"
"
Not
at
all
,
"
replied
Ayrton
,
quickly
.
"
Well
then
,
we
'll
have
all
the
men
we
can
on
board
.
Hands
will
be
wanted
to
work
the
ship
,
and
to
help
in
the
repairs
.
Besides
,
it
is
of
the
utmost
importance
that
she
should
meet
us
to
the
very
day
,
at
whatever
place
may
be
ultimately
selected
.
Consequently
,
we
must
not
lessen
her
crew
.
"
Ayrton
said
nothing
more
,
as
if
convinced
his
Lordship
was
right
.
When
evening
came
,
Scotch
and
Irish
separated
.
Ayrton
and
Paddy
O'Moore
and
family
returned
home
.
Horses
and
wagons
were
to
be
ready
the
next
day
,
and
eight
o'clock
in
the
morning
was
fixed
for
starting
.
Lady
Helena
and
Mary
Grant
soon
made
their
preparations
.
They
had
less
to
do
than
Jacques
Paganel
,
for
he
spent
half
the
night
in
arranging
,
and
wiping
,
and
rubbing
up
the
lenses
of
his
telescope
.
Of
course
,
next
morning
he
slept
on
till
the
Major
's
stentorian
voice
roused
him
.
The
luggage
was
already
conveyed
to
the
farm
,
thanks
to
John
Mangles
,
and
a
boat
was
waiting
to
take
the
passengers
.
They
were
soon
seated
,
and
the
young
captain
gave
his
final
orders
to
Tom
Austin
,
his
chief
officer
.
He
impressed
upon
him
that
he
was
to
wait
at
Melbourne
for
Lord
Glenarvan
's
commands
,
and
to
obey
them
scrupulously
,
whatever
they
might
be
.
