Indeed, it looked like it.
"What is the time?" said the captain.
"I have no watch," replied Jack. "Vasquez kindly relieved me of that trifle in the Nappa Valley."
"I had mine when I left the ship," continued Moreland, "and I have been with no one but you."
"What do you mean by that?" asked Jack.
It appeared as if there was some latent accusation in this remark.
"Oh, nothing," answered the captain. "I have to report to the American Consul at three, and it is necessary that I should know the time."
He began to search in all his pockets.
Jack watched him with an abstracted air, while his stupor increased, and it seemed all the time as if it was too much trouble for him to speak.
"Very odd where that watch of mine is gone to," continued Moreland.
