"Captain Farnham, sir."
"Where is your ship?"
Dan told him.
"When did the ship arrive?"
"Yesterday morning."
The officer went over some papers on his desk, finally selecting one which he consulted, then replaced it on his desk with a nod.
"Where is the rest of your gang?"
"What do you mean, sir?"
"The other men who ran away."
"I am sure I do not know. We were trying to catch up with them when we were caught."
