"All right; but understand, you are not to get a cent until the man is captured."
"Oh, Oi'll agree to that. Oi'll go wid yer if ye pay the fare."
"Very well. Now where is Willis Round?"
"He's stopping in Nagasaki."
"Nagasaki? What part?"
"That Oi'll show yer in due time. He's hid away in a place ye wouldn't dream of lookin' into. When do you want to start, sir?"
"As soon as possible. We can leave on the evening train and reach there by daylight. Get your discharge from the steamer and report to me at the station about six o'clock."
"And who will ye take besides me, sir? It'll be just as well to have a mate, as there's no telling what'll happen."
Nattie eyed the speaker keenly.
"So you think there will be no trouble in effecting the capture, eh?" he said.
