Here is a bag with one hundred thalers. They will last you until you can take service somewhere in another country. Go where no one has ever seen you, and take another name. Never come back to Denmark again. Travel by night, and hide in the woods by day until you are well away from here. Here are provisions enough to last you for several days.
"Not exactly," replied Roland; "but, in case anything should happen to me, I will tell you what I have done with it." When he finished his recital, he added: "I will give each of you a letter to Herr Goebel, identifying you. He is entitled to four thousand five hundred thalers of the money.

"These men of whom we speak, the governor of Zaila, the English colonel, the captain of the Aden steamer, and the other two unfortunate Englishmen, not one of these men will ever come out of Africa alive, I will wager a hundred thalers." "Done!" cried Lieutenant von Leyden. "Done!" echoed Dr. Goldbeck.

The deliberations were, on the whole, excessively detrimental to the cause of the provinces, "and a great personage" wrote to the states-general, that the King had been influenced by no motive save to cause dissension.
