Rigby had just joined the waiting gang of smugglers, and upon his entrance in their midst, was greeted with the question:
"What news do you bring from York?"
CHAPTER XLI.
Rigby did not make an immediate reply, but glanced around to see who was gathered in the place.
"Come, old man, give us the news."
"I am waiting to see if there are any strangers in our midst."
"There are no strangers present."
"That's all right; I expect some strangers."
"Who do you expect?"
"Well, boys, I'll tell you; I saw Denman, and he let me, into some secrets, and if luck favors, all will come out right; the Government has only one witness."
