Chapter VII
THE CHEMIST'S ROCK. By the time we gave up our hunt for Sholto that night and saw Hilderman into the _Baltimore II._ at the landing-stage, the harvest moon had splashed the mountain side with patches of silver in reckless profusion. But we were in no mood for aesthetics. We applied the moonlight to more practical purposes. "Show me the river, Mr. Ewart," said Garnesk, as we turned away from the shore.
