...captain. Howe is a player of remarkable sagacity and skill, and Potter is a man who keeps a cool head and runs his team so as to get the maximum amount of power out of it.

The prospect seems as hopeless as any that had baffled Henry's detectives, but Martha, her mind tottering dangerously from the strain of waiting and longing, sets off to the South to hunt for the child through all the mills in the land. Henry, who owns one of these same mills, sends orders to push the profits as hard as possible to supply money for further search...
