had just occurred, and the tragedy proved so interesting that Blades
had little time to notice the new motor boatman. But what matters is

Bendigo heard what his brother, Robert, was supposed to have done at
Foggintor Quarry--that his new man, Giuseppe Doria, arrived at
'Crow's Nest' and took on his new duties.
"From that all-important fact I built my case, and you don't need to
be told how every step of the way threw light upon the next until I

Michael Pendean's supposed destruction. He is traced home again to
Paignton.
