'Eh! You don't say so! Bless me, what a heathenish lot they are about here.'
'Try and convert 'em, doctor.'
'Not I. We ought to import a few pulpit thumpers and let them try their hands.'
'They ought to start on Dalton's gang. I hear there is trouble brewing there.'
'Who's the victim this time?' asked Dr Tom.
'Jim Dennis.'
'Then, by heavens, he'll find one or two to help him!' said Dr Tom, bringing his fist down with such a bang on the table that all the bottles danced.
'What's it about?'
Doonan related how Jim Dennis had taken Seahorse from Dalton's men and restored him to Rodney Shaw.
