hotel. To telephone would be too great
chance. but a man may carry a note
and send IL forward from a messenger
station. and not be suspected, provid-
ed he is well known in a district.
"Now write:
Captain Connel:
Il am writing you by Mr. Dual's di.
rection. Throughout this day, while
you have doubted, Mr.. Dual has work
ed. To complete the work it is need
full to ask your assistance.
You are perhaps aware that some
time in the eighties there was a pro-
ject to build q tunnel beneath the bay,
somewhat as they have tunneled the
Hudson in New York. Work was act
ually begun, and tunnel was driven
into the elevation known as Telegraph
Hill. Financial backing failing, the
work was abandoned. Later a ware
house was built over the mouth of the
tunnel. For years even the warehouse
has been abandoned, and is commonly
believed to be unused.
This warehouse stands above the
basin where the Italian fishing boats
are now kept. Doubtless you know
the place.
Attend to the rest with close care,
captain. Take an armed squad, one
provided with axes, to this warehouse
at exactly SOL o'clock tonight. Do not
arrive at one minute of eight, nor at
eight-but at one minute after. Much
depends on this.
AT that time, break into the ware
house and go to the end next the hill.
Break into the tunnel and follow Il
until you come to the place where
bliss Foote and your man McKabe are
kept in confinement. Liberate them,
and seize any men who may oppose
you.
Have strong squad of your men
ready for instant service at the Hall
OF Justice. Instruct their leader to
give obedience to Mr.. Duals direc-
tions. At such time as word shall be
conveyed to them, have them divide
into three sections. One will go to
the Chinese theatre through which
Mr.. McKabe and We others entered
the tunnels last night. One will go to
place midway of the built-up portion
OF Clay below Grant where a mana
Chinese-will meet and lead them to
another tunnel entrance.
"The third will wait exactly five
minutes after the first two have LEFT
the hall. and then march to the shop
on Washington, which we told you last
night concealed an exit from the I'M
foreground tunnels. They will there
enter the tunnels and follow a trail
they will find until it leads them to
Mr.. Dual and myself. The other
squads will sweep the tunnels they en-
ter and work inward until they meet
this last.
Zone other thing you will do. At sew
en-thirty you will set free the man,
Reich, and the woman, Greek Annie.
You may do this with the certain con-
viction that they will be followed by
our agents and later be reapprehend-
ed.
This is all, save to add to it the
caution that upon your complete COM
pliance rests the fate of your officer,
Mr.. McKabe, and that of Miss Foote,
as well as the completion of Mr.. Duars
efforts. You will, therefore, give a
verbal assurance to the boy who
brings this that you will comply.
Upon receipt of such a message
from you, we shall be ready to strike
so soon as our agents send word that
Reich and the woman have been trail
ed. You can see from this that the
whole matter lies in your hands.
Most sincerely yours,
Gordon Glace."
