Harry here spoke again.
"Governor," he said, "you want to get right up to that pier. Never mind me. I dreamed that I saw you there and that you got—you know what. Go now."
And Harry was so earnest about it that Old King Brady went, leaving him in charge of Alice and Quong Lee.
It was well towards midnight before Old King Brady again found himself approaching the old fertilizer factory.
He was not alone.
Feeling that he might need help he confided the details of his case to Wardman Connors and took him along.
"I don't see a soul," remarked Connors as they approached the pier. "I am afraid it is all Harry's imagination."
They started down the pier and had gone but a short distance before they made a discovery.
It was a Chinaman lying gagged and bound upon the pier.
