Upon this speech the Italian appeared to regain his composure.
"I am a servant for the moment and my duty is to Mr. Redmayne," he
answered. "This is the message that I have been told to bring. The
hunted man will not trust himself behind doors or under a roof,
until he has seen his brother alone. He is hiding now near the place
where Mrs. Pendean and I found him, in a cave beside the sea. It
opens upon the water and it can be approached by boat. But there is
a way also inside, that enables him to creep down into the cave from
the cliffs behind it. He will be in this place until his brother
comes, to-morrow night after twelve o'clock. But the way down from
the land is hidden very carefully and he will not speak of that. You
must go to him from the sea, my master. He thought it out while he
spoke to me. He will light his lamp in the cave, and when the light
is seen from the launch, you will put in and come to him. That is
what he demands shall be done; and if anybody tries to land but only
his brother, he will shoot them.
