Meanwhile More Wood must taken aboard for from Here on it would be increasingly difficult to obtain. There was a woodcutter s lot half mile upstream on the East Shore. Two men operated it but whether they had been killed or had fled was unknown. There was Wood waiting but no sign of the choppers. Ing the carts Mcquestion Wane ered about. There was t Mucor danger since watchers had been posted to keep Sharp Lookout. Disappeared to Rawls it see hied that me question was moving with a Goa behind his apparent gradually he. Approached the Patch of still uncut Woods then disappeared which might be a , or a., calculated risk. It two Rawls could play that managed to slip game from those whose business it was to keep an Eye on him. The were gloomy. Voices Low but in the they found a Man at the Edge of the Wood lot As though he had been surprised at work. He had been dead for several was no sign of his companion no other reminder of trouble. Low Hills Rose Back from the River and a considerable growth of Trees had been Handy. Approximately half of these had been cleared. Poor Mcquestion murmured looking Down at the dead Man. They made some Money for a while but he paid for what he got i wonder to his no one had the indians were on the other tent came from a Small Brushy Shore farther upstream but some in a Noskin might be in ambush waiting for an attempt to get the Wood.

You sink the take whatever you find on it and we get guns you get guns and whiskey once we re safely past with the first two promised. _ Well Puit them ashore a couple of Miles presently Mcquestion wandered Back to join the others reporting regretfully that he had found no sign of the second Man who had worked Here. Webby the poor Devil got away and is still wearin his own piously. Well Hope Rawls was thinking hard. It Van t Likely that Mcquestion and whiter had planned originally to do any business with this War party but they were not dealing with them when necessity betraying others to save their own answer. While spent since the the others busied themselves Load fired on had Given them the skin. The Pride had time been Chance with the enemy. A few guns and a cask of whiskey would be a cheap Price to pay for immunity for. The Varina and the Astrid. Such a bribe alone would no have been enough with some renegade who knew his ability to sink the boats As they struggled through the Devil s Spiro but with one boat promised As a victim and Many passengers on Board to yield scalps a Deal had been made. Whether or not it would honoured was another question. Double crossed this was a cold blooded Busi Ness scarcely surprising in View of what Mcquestion had already planned. Dudley was to be Dou ble crossed. Indians would swarm out from both shores in canoes As soon As the Pride was crippled it was unlikely that a single Man would live to Tell the tale. If any did no taint would attach to the boats ahead. This could t be Al owed to proceed. But the proper course of action was not so simple. Rawls might go to Cap Tain Dudley and Tell him what in derided. If he did Dudley was sufficiently hot tempered that he d Demard a showdown then and there. That would pit Rawls word against Mcquestion a and the later would of course deny the whole thing. Whiter Shaw would Back ringing to Light his and earn Mcquestion own Down Iver record the Cloud of his re mutation. As a last resort Rawls decided be d Tell Dudley the facts but Only As a last desperate Chan be. The outcome was so one sided As to be almost a foregone conclusion.

Art of that he supposed was due to discovering her duplicity from the presence during these weeks of Kathleen Garrison. She had shown a steady courage in the face of adversity which had compelled his attention and they vere partners in disaster. If there were shallows in Astrid there were deeps in Kathleen. Tormented thought of her now was Tor ment. However his coup came out tonight his part would become Manifest and Dudley once past the blockade would no longer be around to befriend him in turn or to act As a deterrent upon the others.
