Indeed
,
the
coroner
's
inquest
decided
that
the
crime
must
be
attributed
to
the
band
of
convicts
which
escaped
six
months
ago
from
the
Penitentiary
at
Perth
,
Western
Australia
,
just
as
they
were
about
to
be
transferred
to
Norfolk
Island
.
The
gang
numbers
twenty-nine
men
;
they
are
under
the
command
of
a
certain
Ben
Joyce
,
a
criminal
of
the
most
dangerous
class
,
who
arrived
in
Australia
a
few
months
ago
,
by
what
ship
is
not
known
,
and
who
has
hitherto
succeeded
in
evading
the
hands
of
justice
.
The
inhabitants
of
towns
,
colonists
and
squatters
at
stations
,
are
hereby
cautioned
to
be
on
their
guard
,
and
to
communicate
to
the
Surveyor-General
any
information
that
may
aid
his
search
.

When
Glenarvan
had
finished
reading
this
article
,
McNabbs
turned
to
the
geographer
and
said
,
"
You
see
,
Paganel
,
there
can
be
convicts
in
Australia
.
"
"
Escaped
convicts
,
that
is
evident
,
"
replied
Paganel
,
"
but
not
regularly
transported
criminals
.
Those
fellows
have
no
business
here
.
"
"
Well
,
they
are
here
,
at
any
rate
,
"
said
Glenarvan
;
"
but
I
do
n't
suppose
the
fact
need
materially
alter
our
arrangements
.
What
do
you
think
,
John
?
"
John
Mangles
did
not
reply
immediately
;
he
hesitated
between
the
sorrow
it
would
cause
the
two
children
to
give
up
the
search
,
and
the
fear
of
compromising
the
expedition
.
"
If
Lady
Glenarvan
,
and
Miss
Grant
were
not
with
us
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
should
not
give
myself
much
concern
about
these
wretches
.
"
Glenarvan
understood
him
and
added
,
"
Of
course
I
need
not
say
that
it
is
not
a
question
of
giving
up
our
task
;
but
would
it
perhaps
be
prudent
,
for
the
sake
of
our
companions
,
to
rejoin
the
Duncan
at
Melbourne
,
and
proceed
with
our
search
for
traces
of
Harry
Grant
on
the
eastern
side
.
What
do
you
think
of
it
,
McNabbs
?
"
"
Before
I
give
my
opinion
,
"
replied
the
Major
,
"
I
should
like
to
hear
Ayrton
's
.
