“Bags?”
“Yes.”
“What of?”
“Don’t know. We were well paid and asked no questions.”
“And what’s become of the load?”
“We transhipped it last night to a small steamer that came alongside of us below Passy.”
“What’s the steamer’s name?”
“The Chamois. Crew of six.”
“Where is she now?”
“Ahead of us. She was going fast. She must be at Rouen by this time. Siméon Diodokis is on his way to join her.”
