However
,
Glenarvan
and
John
Mangles
stayed
behind
with
Tom
Austin
after
the
others
had
retired
.
They
wished
to
put
some
further
questions
to
him
.
"
Now
,
then
,
old
Austin
,
"
said
Glenarvan
,
"
tell
me
,
did
n't
it
strike
you
as
strange
to
be
ordered
to
go
and
cruise
on
the
coast
of
New
Zealand
?
"
"
Yes
,
your
Honor
,
"
replied
Tom
.
"
I
was
very
much
surprised
,
but
it
is
not
my
custom
to
discuss
any
orders
I
receive
,
and
I
obeyed
.
Could
I
do
otherwise
?
If
some
catastrophe
had
occurred
through
not
carrying
out
your
injunctions
to
the
letter
,
should
not
I
have
been
to
blame
?
Would
you
have
acted
differently
,
captain
?
"
"
No
,
Tom
,
"
replied
John
Mangles
.
"
But
what
did
you
think
?
"
asked
Glenarvan
.
"
I
thought
,
your
Honor
,
that
in
the
interest
of
Harry
Grant
,
it
was
necessary
to
go
where
I
was
told
to
go
.
I
thought
that
in
consequence
of
fresh
arrangements
,
you
were
to
sail
over
to
New
Zealand
,
and
that
I
was
to
wait
for
you
on
the
east
coast
of
the
island
.
Moreover
,
on
leaving
Melbourne
,
I
kept
our
destination
a
secret
,
and
the
crew
only
knew
it
when
we
were
right
out
at
sea
,
and
the
Australian
continent
was
finally
out
of
sight
.
But
one
circumstance
occurred
which
greatly
perplexed
me
.
"
"
What
was
it
,
Tom
?
"
asked
Glenarvan
.
"
Just
this
,
that
when
the
quartermaster
of
the
Britannia
heard
our
destination
--
"
"
Ayrton
!
"
cried
Glenarvan
.
"
Then
he
is
on
board
?
"
"
Yes
,
your
Honor
.
"
