"What do you want?" said the officer, cross at being disturbed out of office hours.
"I've found the murderer at last," replied Uros.
"And what murderer, pray? Do you think there's only one murderer in the world?"
Uros explained himself.
"And who is he?"
"A certain Vassili, a Greek, on board a caique now lying at Gravosa."
"And how have you found out that he is the murderer, when we know nothing about it?"
"By intuition."
"Well, but you don't expect us to go about arresting people on intuition, do you?" asked the officer, huffishly.
Uros proceeded to relate all he knew; then he produced the knife which he had found.
