"Have they harmed you?"
"Yes."
"Can we trust anyone aboard here?"
No answer. Evidently Hathaway was not sure upon this point.
"Have they any intentions of harming me?"
"Yes."
"They have! And Tom too?"
"Yes. Yes." Repeated, this time, manifestly for emphasis. The girl paled slightly.
"Will they harm us before we reach Unalaska?"
"No."
