The events of the last twenty-four hours had shaken him so violently that what might perhaps a few days before have aroused his keenest interest now seemed a matter of indifference and no concern of his. At this moment the orderly announced a man in sailor's dress, and Heideck knew that it could only be Brandelaar.
"No, my friend, I have no reason to do so; you can go bail for everything I write, and your fee will be honourably earned. It would be somewhat different with the news you might take over to the Admiral on your own responsibility." Brandelaar nodded. "I understand, Herr major, and I will act accordingly.
The two rascals whom I caught there don't seem to belong to the ordinary class of spies. They are the skipper Brandelaar and the man I have brought with me." "Didn't you arrest the skipper as well?" "I intend to use them in our interest, and hope that Admiral Hollway will find himself caught in his own net." "Isn't that rather a risky game?
Ever since Heideck had heard the news of Edith Irwin's death from Brandelaar, all purely human feelings and sensations that connected him with life had died in his heart. He was no longer anything but the soldier, whose thoughts and efforts were filled exclusively with anxiety for the victory of his country's arms.
Brandelaar having been summoned to the cabin, Heideck addressed him as follows: "Listen to me, Maaning Brandelaar. I know everything, and I need not tell you that it is more than enough to put your neck in danger according to martial law. But I will show you a way to save yourself. Go to-morrow to Ternenzen and wait there till you hear from me.
But I know you will answer me if it is possible, and I am happy to think that, by letting you know I am alive, I have given you a pleasure, soon, I hope, to be followed by the still greater happiness of meeting again. Let us wait patiently and confidently for that hour!" He sealed the letter and put it in his pocket, in order to hand it over to Brandelaar on the following day.
