That
's
true
enough
,
"
replied
John
Mangles
,
"
and
yet
it
would
have
been
better
to
have
fished
them
up
in
the
open
sea
.
Then
we
might
have
found
out
the
road
they
had
come
by
taking
the
exact
latitude
and
longitude
,
and
studying
the
atmospheric
and
submarine
currents
;
but
with
such
a
postman
as
a
shark
,
that
goes
against
wind
and
tide
,
there
's
no
clew
whatever
to
the
starting-point
.
"
"
We
shall
see
,
"
said
Glenarvan
,
gently
taking
out
the
cork
.
A
strong
odor
of
salt
water
pervaded
the
whole
saloon
,
and
Lady
Helena
asked
impatiently
:
"
Well
,
what
is
there
?
"
"
I
was
right
!
"
exclaimed
Glenarvan
.
"
I
see
papers
inside
.
But
I
fear
it
will
be
impossible
to
remove
them
,
"
he
added
,
"
for
they
appear
to
have
rotted
with
the
damp
,
and
are
sticking
to
the
sides
of
the
bottle
.
"
"
Break
it
,
"
said
the
Major
.
"
I
would
rather
preserve
the
whole
if
I
could
.
"
"
No
doubt
you
would
,
"
said
Lady
Helena
;
"
but
the
contents
are
more
valuable
than
the
bottle
,
and
we
had
better
sacrifice
the
one
than
the
other
.
"
"
If
your
Lordship
would
simply
break
off
the
neck
,
I
think
we
might
easily
withdraw
the
papers
,
"
suggested
John
Mangles
.
"
Try
it
,
Edward
,
try
it
,
"
said
Lady
Helena
.
Lord
Glenarvan
was
very
unwilling
,
but
he
found
there
was
no
alternative
;
the
precious
bottle
must
be
broken
.
They
had
to
get
a
hammer
before
this
could
be
done
,
though
,
for
the
stony
material
had
acquired
the
hardness
of
granite
.
A
few
sharp
strokes
,
however
,
soon
shivered
it
to
fragments
,
many
of
which
had
pieces
of
paper
sticking
to
them
.
These
were
carefully
removed
by
Lord
Glenarvan
,
and
separated
and
spread
out
on
the
table
before
the
eager
gaze
of
his
wife
and
friends
.
All
that
could
be
discovered
,
however
,
on
these
pieces
of
paper
was
a
few
words
here
and
there
,
the
remainder
of
the
lines
being
almost
completely
obliterated
by
the
action
of
the
water
.
Lord
Glenarvan
examined
them
attentively
for
a
few
minutes
,
turning
them
over
on
all
sides
,
holding
them
up
to
the
light
,
and
trying
to
decipher
the
least
scrap
of
writing
,
while
the
others
looked
on
with
anxious
eyes
.
At
last
he
said
:
"
There
are
three
distinct
documents
here
,
apparently
copies
of
the
same
document
in
three
different
languages
.
Here
is
one
in
English
,
one
in
French
,
and
one
in
German
.
"
