Anse nodded a reluctant admission. He bowed to Mr Adams, and again set off with the Admiral for Old Harbour House. "Who knows what lies before us?" said Captain Acton. "You say Stanhope? Why, man alive! I've been looking high and low for you. What do you think of that, Doctor, I've found him at last!".
