The Clue of the Tapping Heels (continued)

Nancy is gagged and tied up in an isolated cabin but she uses her legs
to make tapping sounds. A fellow traveller in another cabin complains
to an attendant about the noise so the cat is let out of the bag.
Nancy is rescued but Mr Bunce's name is not found on the passenger
list. The Bunces come to the ship disguised as old people but are
nabbed by Keely all the same. Omar and his brother are also arrested
in a hotel.

During the court trial, Mr Drew cross-examines Mrs Bunce who confirms
Gus' real parentage,how Fred has taken him away and how he later
escapes to an unknown destination. Fred, Omar and Sam bag long jail
terms. Mr Drew traces the hidden Woonton money and gives it to Horace,
Woonton's closest living relative. Nancy catches Gus stealing food
from Annie's cellar and thus solves the mystery of the tapping noises.
St Will finances the operation needed to restore Gus to mental and
physical health. Bess predicts that Annie will marry Horace and her
prediction comes true.
