Just
at
this
moment
a
noise
was
heard
from
about
half
a
mile
up
the
river
.
A
crowd
had
gathered
,
and
quickly
increased
.
They
soon
reached
the
station
,
and
in
their
midst
were
two
men
carrying
a
corpse
.
It
was
the
body
of
the
guard
,
quite
cold
,
stabbed
to
the
heart
.
The
murderers
had
no
doubt
hoped
,
by
dragging
their
victim
to
a
distance
,
that
the
police
would
be
put
on
a
wrong
scent
in
their
first
inquiries
.
This
discovery
,
at
any
rate
,
justified
the
doubts
of
the
police-inspector
.
The
poor
blacks
had
had
no
hand
in
the
matter
.
"
Those
who
dealt
that
blow
,
"
said
he
,
"
were
already
well
used
to
this
little
instrument
"
;
and
so
saying
he
produced
a
pair
of
"
darbies
,
"
a
kind
of
handcuff
made
of
a
double
ring
of
iron
secured
by
a
lock
.
"
I
shall
soon
have
the
pleasure
of
presenting
them
with
these
bracelets
as
a
New
Year
's
gift
.
"
"
Then
you
suspect
--
"
"
Some
folks
who
came
out
free
in
Her
Majesty
's
ships
.
"
"
What
!
convicts
?
"
cried
Paganel
,
who
recognized
the
formula
employed
in
the
Australian
colonies
.
"
I
thought
,
"
said
Glenarvan
,
"
convicts
had
no
right
in
the
province
of
Victoria
.
"
"
Bah
!
"
said
the
inspector
,
"
if
they
have
no
right
,
they
take
it
!
They
escape
sometimes
,
and
,
if
I
am
not
greatly
mistaken
,
this
lot
have
come
straight
from
Perth
,
and
,
take
my
word
for
it
,
they
will
soon
be
there
again
.
"
Mr.
Mitchell
nodded
acquiescence
in
the
words
of
the
police-inspector
.
At
this
moment
the
wagon
arrived
at
the
level
crossing
of
the
railway
.
Glenarvan
wished
to
spare
the
ladies
the
horrible
spectacle
at
Camden
Bridge
.
He
took
courteous
leave
of
the
surveyor-general
,
and
made
a
sign
to
the
rest
to
follow
him
.
"
There
is
no
reason
,
"
said
he
,
"
for
delaying
our
journey
.
"
When
they
reached
the
wagon
,
Glenarvan
merely
mentioned
to
Lady
Helena
that
there
had
been
a
railway
accident
,
without
a
hint
of
the
crime
that
had
played
so
great
a
part
in
it
;
neither
did
he
make
mention
of
the
presence
of
a
band
of
convicts
in
the
neighborhood
,
reserving
that
piece
of
information
solely
for
Ayrton
's
ear
The
little
procession
now
crossed
the
railway
some
two
hundred
yards
below
the
bridge
,
and
then
resumed
their
eastward
course
.
