Afterwards, Tallente continued,

I discovered the theft of that document. A faithful servant of mine, and I, searched for Palliser's body, risking our lives in vain, as it turns out, in the hope of recovering the manuscript. The body was neither in the bay below nor hung up anywhere on the cliff. One of two things, then, must have happened. Either Palliser's body must have been taken out by the tide, which flows down the Bristol Channel in a curious way, and will never now be recovered, or he made a remarkable escape and decided, under all the circumstances, to make a fresh start in life.

Strike where you can and strike hard. Our day is coming and I tell you honestly I can't believe--nothing would make me believe--that you won't be in at the death.

Don't forget that we meet to-night in Charles Street,

Trust Nora, Dartrey replied.

She has been looking forward to it every day.

You are going to try and get me a copy of the article?

I am going to try. If my suspicions are correct, you shall have it in twenty-four hours.
