There's an old hut alongside the kitchen we can plant in." "I'll slip in and get you a bit of grub, our supper is still on the table," said the hospitable Mr. Bunthorp, and like a substantial phantom he disappeared in the darkness, and presently returned with some provender and a drop of the incomparable whisky, which he had smuggled out without wakening Deane, the only other occupant of the house. Bunthorp had no desire to return to bed, but shared the sergeant's.
