Chapter XVI
THE DEATH OF GIDEON PRAWLE. Gideon was stretched out upon a bed in one of the front rooms of the American House at Trinity. The usually healthy, rugged look of his tanned face was now turned a ghastly white, which was rendered even more so by his heavy dark beard. The proprietor of the hotel was sitting beside the bed fanning him when Jack, wild with anxious solicitude, was shown to his room. He opened his eyes and smiled faintly when he recognized the boy.
