"Hang it all—whatever you like."
"But where is he?"
"He is arrested."
"How!—arrested?"
"Yes; and it was before being imprisoned in the Calabozo, that he ordered me to go in all haste and warn you."
"Arrested!" the half-breed said, stamping his foot; "that scoundrel of a Crevel has betrayed me, and shall pay dearly for it."
"Crevel, do you say, lieutenant? Well, it is possible; and yet I do not think so."
"I am sure of it."
"Why so?"
"I sent him a letter which he was to deliver to Leon, and in which I warned the latter of the danger that menaced him."
