"Have either of you protests to make?"
"We know when we're caught," growled Raynor, shooting a swift glance at Brady. "You've got the goods on us. We're not squawking."
"You were taking orders from this man?" the captain inquired, pointing at Brady.
Both Davy and Raynor replied in the affirmative, adding further proof against Brady.
"Known him very long?"
"Don't know him at all," replied Raynor, "only that he's the boss."
"We've been taking orders from him since we left the earth," supplemented Davy. "He had us kill the radio equipment a little while before he set off the explosion."
"And how did you expect to get away with the platinum?"
"He's the only one of us who knows," replied Davy, nodding his head at Brady.
"Brady, I suppose there'll be another ship along pretty soon—some of your friends from Deliphon. Now I see it all. Well, they won't find us, that's all. We won't be here."
