Without exchanging another word with his escort, Senor Perkins followed him to the main hatch, where they descended1 and groped their way through the half obscurity of the lower deck. Here they passed one or two shadows, that, recognizing the Senor, seemed to draw aside in a half awed2, half suppressed shyness, as of caged animals in the presence of their trainer. At the fore-hatch they again descended, passing a figure that appeared to be keeping watch at the foot of the ladder, and almost instantly came upon a group lit up by the glare of a bull's-eye lantern. It was composed of the first and second mate, a vicious-looking Peruvian sailor with a bandaged head, and, to the Senor's astonishment3, the missing passenger Hurlstone, seated on the deck, heavily ironed.
"It was just daybreak, Patrono, before we put about," began the man in Spanish, "that I thought I saw some one gliding5 along towards the fore-hatch; but I lost sight of him. After we had tumbled up to go on the other tack6, I heard a noise in the fore-hold. I went down and found HIM," pointing to Hurlstone, "hiding there. He had some provisions stowed away beside him, and that package. I grabbed him, Patrono. He broke away and struck me here"—he pointed7 to his still wet bandage—"and would have got out overboard through the port, but the second mate heard the row and came down just in time to stop him."
"When was this?" asked Senor Perkins.
"Guardia di Diana."
"You were chattering8, you fellows."
"Quien sabe?" said the Peruvian, lifting his shoulders.
