CHAPTER TX.
Strange Disclosures Are Made.

The strange letter of Elma Heath,
combined with what Lydia Moreton
had told me, aroused within me a de.
termination to investigate the mystery.

the Lola on that hot, breathless night
at Leghorn, mystery had crowded upon
mystery until it was all bewildering.

man with some leisure, and knowing
by that letter of Elma Heaths that she
was in sore distress, / redoubled my
efforts to ascertain the reason of it all.
On leaving Leghorn had given up
all hope of tracing the mysterious
yachtsman and had left the matter in
the hands of the Italian police. But,

Lord Fisher Believes In Speed

Although Lord Fisher is four wears
older than the regulation age at
which a naval officer may normally
hope to be employed. his methods at
the admiralty give little indication of
the advance Of years. A short time
ago he bounced upon a department
at Whitehall with the intimation that
a certain number of new vessels were
required. The number, it may be
mentioned. was about six or seven
times as many as it is customary to
order in any one year. The whole
of the contracts for these vessels were
placed in three days, and when the
first sea lord went to inquire what
had happened. and was told, he spared
nothing in his execration of what
he called the waste of time. In the
ordinary way. three months is quite
an average time for considering such
