Keen
disappointment
was
depicted
on
the
faces
of
Glenarvan
and
the
Major
.
They
thought
the
quartermaster
in
the
possession
of
an
important
secret
,
and
he
declared
that
his
communications
would
be
very
nearly
barren
.
Paganel
's
countenance
remained
unmoved
.
Somehow
or
other
,
this
avowal
of
Ayrton
,
and
surrender
of
himself
,
so
to
speak
,
unconditionally
,
singularly
touched
his
auditors
,
especially
when
the
quartermaster
added
:
"
So
I
tell
you
beforehand
,
the
bargain
will
be
more
to
my
profit
than
yours
.
"
"
It
does
not
signify
,
"
replied
Glenarvan
.
"
I
accept
your
proposal
,
Ayrton
.
I
give
you
my
word
to
land
you
on
one
of
the
islands
of
the
Pacific
Ocean
.
"
"
All
right
,
my
Lord
,
"
replied
the
quartermaster
.
Was
this
strange
man
glad
of
this
decision
?
One
might
have
doubted
it
,
for
his
impassive
countenance
betokened
no
emotion
whatever
.
It
seemed
as
if
he
were
acting
for
someone
else
rather
than
himself
.
"
I
am
ready
to
answer
,
"
he
said
.
"
We
have
no
questions
to
put
to
you
,
"
said
Glenarvan
.
"
Tell
us
all
you
know
,
Ayrton
,
and
begin
by
declaring
who
you
are
.
"
"
Gentlemen
,
"
replied
Ayrton
,
"
I
am
really
Tom
Ayrton
,
the
quartermaster
of
the
Britannia
.
I
left
Glasgow
on
Harry
Grant
's
ship
on
the
12th
of
March
,
1861
.
For
fourteen
months
I
cruised
with
him
in
the
Pacific
in
search
of
an
advantageous
spot
for
founding
a
Scotch
colony
.
Harry
Grant
was
the
man
to
carry
out
grand
projects
,
but
serious
disputes
often
arose
between
us
.
His
temper
and
mine
could
not
agree
.
I
can
not
bend
,
and
with
Harry
Grant
,
when
once
his
resolution
is
taken
,
any
resistance
is
impossible
,
my
Lord
.
He
has
an
iron
will
both
for
himself
and
others
.
"
But
in
spite
of
that
,
I
dared
to
rebel
,
and
I
tried
to
get
the
crew
to
join
me
,
and
to
take
possession
of
the
vessel
.
Whether
I
was
to
blame
or
not
is
of
no
consequence
.
