Wilson's face appeared around the edge of the door and he murmured I-Iello! in a scared tone. Evidently he was suspicious of me. Good afternoonfl' I replied and pushed my way pompously into the room. Are we alone? I inquired bluntly. Why yes. He immediately started to whine as he realized that his suspicions were all too true. I couldn't go and get it, honestly I couldn't! My hand was crushedg I was un- consciousg you can't do anything to me for that! I couldn't help it! By this time the poor wretch was almost sobbing and beads of perspiration appeared on his forehead. 'tWell, you are excused this time! Youlre not to do anything for us for the next month and you must not go near the restaurant. Remem- ber that now! You definitely must not go near the place or he may not be so kind the next time. My last speech was a masterpiece. I was stabbing the air with my forefinger in a way which I hoped was the regulation way for a high pressure spy lecturer. The agent liter- ally wilted with relief. I had all the information required, so I left the house and we drove home. Jim suggested letting the police finish the matter, but my appetite for sleuthing was whetted and I hated to give up this chance of excitement for the humdrum of every-day life. All the next week we tried to locate f'J's offices but without success. We decided to wait until we met the messenger again and see if we could trick him into telling us. Accord- ing, the following day, as I was seated at the same table in the restaurant, the messenger approached me with another envelope. HGood afternoon, he said with the same Eskimo grin. How do you do? I replied, and then handed him my own letter explaining why I had no success in finding the depth below the first iioor of the ammunition magazine. I put on a look of ill-concealed concern, and whispered, Where's JH? I heard the authorities were on to him and he'd leftl' 'tWell, he did have to move, though there's nothing serious. You'll find it all here. He tapped the envelope which lay on the table significantly. This was just another stroke of luck! There was about one chance in fifty of our getting an address in the message, and we had gotten it the second time.

I waited impatiently for three hours before the job was finished. It appeared that I had to go to a newly-opened stationery shop in the business section and say to any of the clerks- I'd like to see the managerf, at the same time slicking a coin on the desk as I said K'Manager . By now I was tired of continually puzzling my brains so we went to see the Chief at the Criminal Investigation Department and within two hours I was standing outside the stationery shop again in the company of two detectives. Naturally I was rather nervous as I remember- ed vividly the way Wilson had acted and I expected J to resist arrest. I entered first and spoke to the clerk, click- ing the coin on the counter at the right moment. The clerk told me to follow him, but I paused a moment and lit a cigarette - the signal to the detectives to come in. I could not help admiring the clerk. Immediately he real- ized something was amiss and started explain- ing that the manager had just left. However, one of the detectives took charge and ordered the clerk to proceed. .As he did so, a car stopped in front of the shop with four con- stables who entered and started leading the other clerks out of the door. By now the clerk had lost his suave manner and ushered us up three flights of stairs and motioned to a door marked Private . Now that the great moment was at hand, I was suddenly overtaken by an attack of stage fright. My knees were knock- ing together, my breath came in short gasps. Strangely enough, there was absolutely no resistance. J looked up at us, opened his mouth to speak - and then suddenly all the colour drained from his face. He sat there as if petrified. One of the Yard men calmly Walked around the desk and snapped the handcuffs on one of the most dangerous saboteurs of his age. There followed a long succession of arrests and a lengthy court action. The ring-leaders were hanged and the remainder given sent- ences ranging from two to twenty years. In addition we were given some financial reim- bursement by the insurance company for saving a great deal of money. The affair was finally cleared up and we were both heartily glad to have finished with the incident. The main objective of the organiza- tion, fostered by a European nation, had been to blow up the entire coastal defence of Dover and the adjacent areas by the use of mines. The result would have been the destruction of some of Britainls main defences. We were both over- whelmed at the thought of what might have happened but even so we had enjoyed it, and as Jim remarked afterwards, There's the financial reimbursement to spend! Page Ninety-one
