“I know that fellow; that is, I used to know him. He was a schoolmate of mine, but he went to the bad upon reaching manhood.”
“That,” said the explorer, “is Sam Henry. Do you know the other?”
“No.”
“If you can run across Henry, I guess you’ll find Kidd not far off.”
“I have your word for it that if the diamond eye of the idol is recovered and given you it will be turned over to its proper custodians?”
“Yes. Why do you ask?”
“Because if the promise were not given I would not move in the matter. Now as to the man you know as Sam Henry, if he is the same party I take him to be, his correct name is Enoch Cook.”
“Do you think you can find him?” asked Stolburst.
“If he is in New York I can.”
“Both he and Kidd are very desperate men. I have seen their courage proven more than a score of times.”
