As our canvas scraped the shingle we leaped out, tossing the dory lightly beyond the reach of the waves, and fell into the agreed-upon formation. Triplett in the van, then Whinney, Swank and myself, in the order named. The nut noises became constantly more ominous and menacing, but still we saw no sign of human life.
"That 'ere way freight is late." At least the letters were recovered. If the letters were safe, that was a good deal more than I was. The moment the station-master had made his agreed-upon announcement, he said to the walkers "Had any news of Mr. Gordon?" "No," replied Lord Ralles. "And, as the lights keep moving in the town, they must still be hunting for him."
But the information had come from the Allied air secret service, and doubtless had its inception when some French or British airman saw scenes of activity near one of the Zeppelin headquarters in the German-occupied territory. There were certain fairly positive signs. And, surely enough, a few nights later, the agreed-upon alarm was sounded. "The Zeps are coming!"
At noon the next day, November 5, the agreed-upon delay expired. After a position fix, true to his promise, Commander Farragut would have to set his course for the southeast and leave the northerly regions of the Pacific decisively behind. By then the frigate lay in latitude 31 degrees 15' north and longitude 136 degrees 42' east. The shores of Japan were less than 200 miles to our leeward.

Our leader raised aloft his right hand, and said aloud so that all could hear the agreed-upon words: "The moon shines bright to-night." This was our command to act, and in an instant every appointed victim was in the death throes.
Too much should not be made of the division between the Henry-Johnston forces and the Robinson-Randolph-Bland-Wythe group. The division was not one of concern about the goal, but rather the means to be used to reach the unanimously agreed-upon goal how to retain rights Virginians believed were theirs and which they thought they were about to lose.
Sometimes a group of competing roads agreed to divide the business among the competitors on the basis of an agreed-upon percentage.
