Andy was sure he saw a slight change in the man's features at the tone in which the words were uttered, and it was plain to him that the coincidence of the little boy in his company being dressed exactly as Regy had been dressed, had made an impression on the detective.
The latter turned to him.
"You will have to go with us too. What is your name?"
"Andrew Fletcher."
"You will find his father's name on the register at Sing Sing," said the man who had, as Andy believed, done so much to put it there.
Andy flashed an indignant glance at him, but paid no other attention to him.
"Must I go with you?" he asked of the detective.
"Yes."
"Will you leave somebody here to watch the steamer, just the same?" questioned Andy, anxiously.
"Don't worry about that, my lad. The steamer shall be watched."
