For some days after his encounter with Trevenna, Lance Trevanion avoided as much as possible going into the township. He devoted himself to working steadily at his claim at the reef, to which he had gone before the adjournment to Caleb Coke's hut with unexpected results.
His first impulse was to prepare for sudden departure. Trevenna, as a cheap and obvious form of revenge, would probably inform the police of his identity without delay. He shuddered at the idea of recapture -- nothing, of course, could be easier than to send word to the nearest police station that prisoner Trevanion, lately escaped from the hulk _President_, and for whom a reward of no trifling amount was offered in the _Police Gazette_, was living as 'Harry Johnson,' the miner, just outside of Omeo township.
