Even before he heard the voice of his savage enemy, Christy Passford / realized that he had fallen into the hands of the commander of the / Snapper. He was placed on the back seat of the carriage, with a pair of / handcuffs on his wrists, and a handkerchief in his mouth to do duty as a / gag. Captain Flanger was at his side, with two other men on the front / seat, and one on the box with the driver. Against these four men he was / powerless to make any resistance while he was in irons.
The carriage was drawn by two horses, and was considerably larger than / the ordinary victoria used in the town. It was quite dark, and though / the streets were flanked with many houses, hardly a person appeared to / be stirring at this hour. But a vehicle loaded down with the rough / visitors of the place could not be an unusual sight, for they were the / kind of people who were disposed to make the night hideous, as well as / the day.
