Even when British journalists were dealing with matters as unlikely to cause trouble as a description of the historic proceedings at Versailles at which the Germans received the Peace Treaty, the censor held back their messages, from five o'clock in the afternoon till three the next morning.
At the hotel the portier gave them four letters. "I do believe we could stay all winter, just as well as not," said Mrs. March, proudly. "What does 'Burnamy say?" "How do you know it's from him?" "Because you've been keeping your hand on it! Give it here." "When I've read it." The letter was dated at Ansbach, in Germany, and dealt, except for some messages of affection to Mrs.
"Sire," said Crevecoeur, "may it please your Majesty, I was provided with a witness on this subject one who beheld these fugitive ladies in the inn called the Fleur de Lys, not far from this Castle one who saw your Majesty in their company, though under the unworthy disguise of a burgess of Tours one who received from them, in your royal presence, messages and letters to their friends in Flanders all which he conveyed to the hand and ear of the Duke of Burgundy."
These I assisted with money, and to one of them I gave some clothing. There were some others to whom I gave money and clothing, that I did not at the time know were rebel prisoners, but who afterwards I had reason to believe were such. I received letters from Capt. J. B, Castleman of the rebel army, and sent him verbal messages in return. He called at my house, and remained for a little while.
If you should by any chance be recognised or your identity should leak out, you can say that for reasons of your own you extended your trip, that your messages miscarried, anything that occurs to you. But it is not at all likely to happen. There are many travellers passing through Oran. Gaston can do all business and make all arrangements for you.
Then by simply shifting the slide on your tuning coil you can often tune-in someone who is sending Morse, that is, messages in the dot and dash code, or, perhaps a friend who has a wireless telephone transmitter and is talking.
Artaxerxes sent messages pretending to wish to make terms with them and guide them safely back to their own country, provided they would do no harm on the way, and they willingly agreed to this, and let themselves be led where they were told it would be easier to find food for them; but this was across the great river Tigris, over a bridge of boats; and a few days after, Clearchus and the other chief officers were invited to the Persian camp to meet the king, and there seized and made prisoners.
They were traveling about, she said, and she asked me not to try to write to her. The first letters came from Canada Montreal and Quebec; then one from Albany; then even these messages ceased and I heard no more until the telegram called me to Utica. She had never mentioned the birth of the child. I don't know I don't even know where Sylvia was born, or her exact age.
Like a young giant ready to run a race, it stood on tiptoe, eager for adventure and discovery sending ships to the ends of the world, and round the world, on messages of commerce and friendship, and encouraging with applause and rewards that wonderful spirit of scientific invention, which was the Epic of the youthful nation.
The instructions I received were general in their nature and in all specific cases arising, my judgment was to determine, and I want to remark right here, the rapidity with which those specific cases would arise was enough to make a man faint. The first rule made was that cipher messages or those written in a foreign tongue were prohibited unless sent by a government official on public business.
