They rowed Young Jack and Harry to the Catamaran.
Hunston had disappeared.
Where had he gone to?
Jack had a suspicion that, seeing the result of the battle, he had made his escape in a boat.
Such was not the case.
Hunston was in the habit of drinking hard occasionally.
When he thought he was successful he indulged in brandy.
This was not enough for him.
He wanted more excitement, ending in stupefaction.
This he obtained by smoking opium—hitting the joint—he called it.
