The Americans followed his point
ing finger to what he had typed and
they could hardly believe their eyes.
There was message for them.
Well, when everybody there had
told all they knew about the affair,
and Intelligence had put it all to-
gether, the whole thing became
clear: Charlie had come across i'm
portant information. The Nazi
agents in England knew it and were
out to get him before he could pass
it on. They trapped him in his room.
F1E KNEW he'd never leave that
room alive. And he couldn't reach
anyone - his telephone line was
cut. He barricaded himself in, but
he knew they'd finally break in and
get him. Then they'd give the room
a going over. He wondered how to
leave a message the English would
find but the Nazis wouldn't.
Then he got his big idea. He'd
always had the habit. when worried,
OF tinkering with something. He was
probably fusslng around with the
typewriter when he thought Of
switching the keys around. How
long it took him to work it out, We'll
never know. Nor why the Nazis
didn't take the typewriter when they
finally broke in and shot him. They
probably were as scornful of it as
the young British officer had been
when he first brought II into the
Embassy. Anyhow, they went over
the room inch by inch, and when
they lett, they We're certain there
was no message.

been a complete surprise for an in

The surprise was on the other foot.
At 10 sharp on the third night, Hitler
tried his invasion. And there was the
British Army, Navy and RAF con-
centrated in one spot, waiting for
him.
What greeting he got!
The Ambassador S letter was full
of praise for Charlie - it's some
thing to make you proud.
But that letter from Charles
friend is really the nice one. He
says, Il wouldn't be surprised if
your son replaced St. George as
England's patron saint"
Charlie had been a smart one
he hadn't left a message around for
anyone but the right people. His
message wasn't really in the machine

American typlst who stepped up to

But the Nazis were wrong; there
was message. There it was, right
on the typewriter paper, The Intelli-
gence officers had the stenographer
try it again. And the message came
out the same, though the English
still couldn't figure how the Ameri-
cans had stumbled onto it. AS fast
as an air hammer, the stenographer
typed it over and over again:
