We started to communicate by wireless to General Oku the fact of our arrival in the bay, by code of course; but such was the Russian keenness and activity that the moment their own wireless picked up our message, as, of course, it was bound to do, finding that it was in a code which they could not decipher, they immediately proceeded to "mix" it so effectually that the reading of it became impossible.
"But," he said desperately, "I I don't think they the dogs, like me quite so much as they did. Naughty, in particular," he added quickly.
