SERVANT ANNOUSCED IN a l
Where he had come from was easily
nscertained by asking the purser Of the
Saxonia. The passenger had come on
board at Brindisi. Did he come from
Upper OF Lower Italy? They did not
know. In reality he had come fro"l
Syracuse. On receipt of the telegram
from the Moor he had instantly left
Sicily for Cattaro.
For il was ut Cattaro that the woman
was waiting to meet him, her mission at
Ragusa having apparently come 10 all
end
The Moor was there on the wharf
waiting for the steamer. The Doctor
noticed her he saw Sarcany walk up to
her he heard the words she said to him
IN Arabic, and lie understood them
1t was time"
Sarcanv's reply was nod. Then.
after seeing his luggage passed 10y the
Custom House officer, he went off with
the Moor towards the right so as 10 go
outside the town.
The Doctor hesitated for "A moment.
WIS Sarcauy going to escape him'
Ought he 10 follow him'
Turning round he saw Cape Natifou,
WHO WAS Standing gaping at the Saxonia's
pa eugcrs. He beckoned to him, and
he WAS at his side in M instant
Cape Matifou, said he, pointing to
Sarcany who was walking away, do
you see that MANI"
Yes.
If tell you to carry him off will Won
do so?"
Yes.
And YOU will give him something 20
prevent his getting away II he reslsts =
Yes.
Remember l want him ahvei~
Yes.
Cape Nation YVES n man OF few words,
but ice had the merit of speaking TO the
point. The Doctor could depend upon
him What he received the order to do,
he would do.
The Moor could be seized, gagged,
thrown aside in any corner, and before
she could give the alarm Sarcany would
toe on board the Electric.
The darkness, though ii was not very
profound, would facilitate matters.
Sarcauy and the Moor continued their
walk round the town without noticing
that they were being watched and fol-
lowed They did not speak to each
other. They did not wish 10 do so until
they reached some quiet place where
they could be safe from interruption.
They reached the south gate opening ON
the road which leads from Cattnro to the
mountains on the Austrian frontier
Al this gate is an importuu, market. Il
bazaar we'll known TO the Nfontcnegrins.
Here they have TO transact their business,
for they are not allowed 10 enter the
town except in very limited numbers,
and after having left their weapons
behind them. On the Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday of each week the
mountaineers come down from Niegons
OF Cettinge. having walked for five or
six hours carrying eggs, potatoes. poul-
try, and even faggots of considerable
weight
This was Thursday. A few groups
whose business had not finished till late
had remained in the bazaar inten ling to
pass the night there There were about
thirty of these mountaineera moving
about and chatting and disputing, some
stretched on the ground TO sleep. others
cooking before a coal fire a small sheep
inpaled on wooden spit Albanian
fashion.
To this place as though it was well
known to them came Safcauy and his
companion There it would be easy for
them to talk at their ease, and even
remain all night without having to go in
search of lodging Since her arrival
at Cattaro the Moor had not troubled
herself about another lodging
The Doctor and Cape Nation followed
them in. one after the other. Here and
there few fires were smouldering and
giving but little light The Doctor
regretted that he had not put his project
into execution on his way from the
wharf. But it was now too late. All
that could be done was 20 wait till an
opportunity presented itself.
In any case the boat was moored
behind the rocks less than 200 yards
from the bazaar, and about two cables
lengths away lay the Electric with q
small light at the bow to show where
she was moored.
Sarcany and the Moor took up their
position in dark corner near n group
OF mountaineers already asleep. There
they could talk over their business with
ont being understood, if the Doctor
wrapped in his travelling cloak had not
joined the group without attracting their
attention. Nation concealed himself
as well as he could and waited ready to
obey orders.
Sarcany and his companion spoke in
Arabic, thinking that no one could
understand them. Familiar with all
the dialects of Africa and the East, he
lost not a word Of their conversation.
You got my telegram at Syacuse'"
said the Moor.
Yes, Namir," answered Sarcany,
land started next day with Zirone.
where is Zirone?"
Near Catania, organising his new
