CHAPTER VII
A CRITICAL MOMENT
BRACK, as I remarked before, you are a smart fellow. Were you putting me off the scent when you said the man I am looking for went off in the tramp?" said Hackler.
"I never said he were the man; I said there were a man went off with the boat's crew to the tramp."
"I gave a description of him."
"It seemed like him to me," said Brack.
They reached the harbor; Brack pulled in his boat; Hackler stepped in and was rowed toward the tramp. The dirty looking steamer was farther out than anticipated, and Brack took his time; his practiced eyes discerned something invisible to Hackler.
"Steam up," said Carl.
