Lower down in the road a stage was in waiting, and it conveyed the party in two days to the coast.
Jack was put on board a sailing vessel.
The captain was named Moreland.
"You have your orders?" said Vasquez to Moreland.
"Yes," replied the captain; "my instructions are in writing."
"See that they are fulfilled to the letter."
"I will."
Vasquez left the ship, and Harkaway was confined in the captain's cabin, where he could amuse himself with books and papers.
That afternoon the ship sailed, and Jack was bound for a long voyage.
Lord Maltravers was triumphant again.
