"Aha! Did any fishing boat leave Castletown last night?"
"The Manx boats do not go out on Sunday, Sir."
"Any trading steamers then?"
"I don't know, Sir."
"Inquire at once. If your constables do not find the fugitives in the island we must send a 'Wanted' across the water."
"I'll draw one up, Sir."
"Got the necessary photographs?"
"One of the girl, which was found in the young man's rooms, Sir. Also one of the young man which we found in the girl's cell, but it is not of much use, being scratched and blurred as if it had been lying in water."
"No matter! The Deemster is sure to have another. I'll write and ask him to meet us here at eleven on Wednesday morning. He'll be able to help you to your personal description and issue the warrant at the same time."
