"Pinkerton," said I, suddenly, "have you that
OCCIDENTAL in your pocket?"
"Never left me," said Pinkerton, producing the paper.
I turned to the account of the wreck.
"Here," said I, "here's the name. "Elias Goddedaal,
mate." Why do we never come across Elias Goddedaal?"
"That's so," said Jim. "Was he with the rest in that
saloon when you saw them?"
"I don't believe it," said I. "They were only four,
and there was none that behaved like a mate."
At this moment the clerk returned with his report.
"The captain," it appeared, "came with some kind of an
express wagon, and he and the man took off three chests
and a big satchel. Our porter helped to put them on,
but they drove the cart themselves. The porter thinks
they went down town. It was about one."
"Still in time for the CITY OF PEKIN," observed
Jim.
"How many of them were here?" I inquired.
"Three, sir, and the Kanaka," replied the clerk. "The
third, but he's gone too."
"Mr. Goddedaal, the mate, wasn't here then?" I asked.
"No, Mr. Dodd, none but what you see," says the clerk.
