It will be a long time, yet, ere Radwin will
breathe the air as a free man.
John C. Rhinds vanished completely. True, one returned traveler reported
having seen Rhinds at Nice, performing paltry services for American
tourists in return for paltry "tips."
Mrs. Rhinds and her daughter, having decided to make the best of matters,
are now living quietly and happily in a western town. They believe
John C. to be dead.
The mystery of that torpedo has never been officially cleared. In naval
circles, however, there is no doubt whatever felt as to the guilt of
Rhinds and Radwin; but it is also felt that both have been suitably
punished for their dastardly conduct. The three Rhinds torpedo boats
were seized, under court orders, and sold to satisfy the claims of
creditors of the Rhinds Company.
The chauffeur recovered twenty thousand dollars damages through the
attachment of Radwin's funds and the subsequent civil suit. Besides
which, after a few months, the chauffeur had practically recovered from
his painful injuries.
David Pollard was out of hospital in three weeks.
