have betrayed the three poor wretches under any circumstances. "Very
well," said I, "I promise to keep my part of the bargain."
"Upon your honor?" said he.
"Upon my honor," said I.
"Then, sir," said he, "you will find him at Port Louis, in the
Mauritius," and he turned upon his heel and walked away.
