12 7 |              should put some of your men to track them in turn.”~“

14 7 |          give any warning, I saw two men on the pavement.~They were
15 7 |             were rather fine-looking men, broad-shouldered and vigorous,
16 7 |              sure these are the same men you saw before?”~“Yes, sir.”~
17 7 |          matter. As to following the men myself, I was presumably
18 7 |            very day, one of our best men should be put on watch,
19 7 |             into the street.~The two men were no longer there.~Despite

21 8 |             would even have to chase men through the air! I asked
22 8 |             are to choose two of our men whom you think the best
23 8 |            be ready to start with my men. I thank you for having
24 8 |            one.~My choice of the two men to accompany me was easily
25 8 |          while to dispatch me and my men to either point whence it
26 10|           Could we not now start our men upon a trail which would
27 10|            Ward to start out with my men. But the order did not arrive
28 10|             orders.”~“In an hour, my men and I will be on the way.”~“
29 11|          answered, signing to my two men to follow us. “Is it far?”~“
30 11|              close to the rocks, two men climbed out upon its deck

32 11|             same spot.”~“And the two men?”~“The same two men. I judge
33 11|              two men?”~“The same two men. I judge that some accident
34 11|             on board.”~“Only the two men?”~“Only the two.”~“But,”
35 11|        exposed us to the view of the men of the “Terror,” if she
36 12|         trace the silhouettes of two men.~Were there, then, really
37 12|        assistants in another. If the men on the “Terror” landed,
38 12|          crunched upon the sand. Two men came up the ravine, and
39 12|             short by a surprise. The men were not thirty feet from
40 12|          face.~He was one of the two men who had watched before my
41 12| incomprehensible!”~Meanwhile the two men had continued on their way
42 12|          await the return of the two men?~“Mr. Strock!” It was Wells,
43 12|          board?~At any rate, the two men with the lantern were close
44 12|            us dear! Now that the two men had returned, would they
45 12|            was about to call our two men, when Wells again seized
46 12|         Listen!” said he.~One of the men hailed the boat, and it
47 12|           the Captain say to the two men ashore, “Everything is all
48 12|           trip,” answered one of the men.~“Good; then we will start
49 12|             the World, and these two men?~Evidently they planned
50 12|             it was better to let his men return unassailed, and wait
51 12|               Wells went to warn our men, while I stole forward again
52 12|        returned to my place, with my men in the shelter of the ravine;
53 12|         minutes had passed since the men reached the woods, and we
54 12|            seemed to me that the two men must have been detained
55 12|             the same moment, the two men reappeared, and this time
56 12|           off the retreat of the two men.~They saw us and, on the
57 12|           but less successfully. The men neither fell nor faltered
58 13|              the Captain and his two men? This seemed probable, almost
59 13|           this moment there were two men on the deck, one being at
60 13|         quarters occupied by the two men when the “Terror” was at
61 13|            attention to me, than his men had done. Going to the stern,
62 13|             was the other of the two men, who had watched my house
63 14|            took the helm. One of the men was at the bow, the other
64 14|              the helm, while the two men were busy below. I looked
65 14|              last refuge. One of the men seized me from behind.~Suddenly
66 15|            of man, and against which men were powerless? In truth,
67 15|          neither the captain nor his men paid any heed to me, I resolved
68 15|             that the captain and his men must have left, perhaps
69 15|              be the most powerful of men.”~“You!” I reiterated, stupefied
70 16|             of at least half a dozen men, who seemed absolutely devoted
71 16|             the first. Robur and his men had escaped death in the
72 16|               show that the souls of men are not yet ready for the
