The story had somehow got wind, and, as he looked round the court, he recognised nearly all his acquaintances in Northsea; amongst others, in a back seat, his young relative William Campbell.

Campbell has not come to his senses, I suppose? It is not too late yet. It will be soon." "Oh, dear, no! He is an innocent man, as you know; and we have a strong case against you for conspiracy." "All right. You can give me a nod or a wink, when I go into the...
