"They said nothing to me of going," Tag hastened to say. "They certainly were not alarmed at what took place under their noses last night."
"Did they tell you who gave them the drink?" asked Ned.
"Yes; they said it was the fourth man."
"And there you are!" the Captain roared. "The fourth man! It is a wonder he didn't stick a knife into them!"
"How old were the men with the Lieutenant?" asked Ned. "You said they were young fellows."
"Well, they were tall and stoutish, but they looked young. Anywhere from sixteen to twenty, I should say."
"Did you notice a locked box in the party?"
"No; they carried nothing of the kind."
"They carried some baggage?"
"Yes; one suitcase. Came away in a hurry, they said. I saw the suitcase opened, on the table in there, and there was no box."
