Often, too, the words are run together, so that at first sight you cannot tell where one word begins and another ends. Solving a cryptograph is like doing a mathematical problem, and Poe was very clever at it.
"And you did n't even find the little daisy what-you-may-call-'ems the originals, I mean?" She meant the crazy designs on the cipher. "I did not." Genevieve laughed. "Wait till I get back. I mean to have a try at our cryptograph. "They 're there, all right. I 'm sure you 're welcome to try if you 'll let me assist in the search." She wrinkled her nose and sniffed. "Hmf!
"Translating the known characters, and representing the unknown by dots, as before, we read thus: th.rtee, an arrangement immediately suggestive of the word 'thirteen, and again furnishing us with two new characters, i, and n, represented by 6 and *. "Referring, now, to the beginning of the cryptograph, we find the combination, "Translating, as before, we obtain .good,
But be assured that the specimen before us appertains to the very simplest species of cryptograph. It now only remains to give you the full translation of the characters upon the parchment, as unriddled.
Natural history is not a cryptograph to be deciphered, it is a series of facts and incidents to be observed and recorded. If two wild animals, such as the beaver and the otter, are deadly enemies, there is good reason for it; and when we have found that reason, we have got hold of a fact in natural history.
Despite Frere's exposure of his cryptograph, he had won the confidence of Meekin; and into that worthy creature's ear he poured a strange and sad story. He was the son, he said, of a clergyman of the Church of England, whose real name, such was his reverence for the cloth, should never pass his lips. He was transported for a forgery which he did not commit.
In the present instance we see it doubled no less than five times, although the cryptograph is brief. "Let us assume 8, then, as e. Now of all words in the language, 'the' is most usual; let us see, therefore, whether there are not repetitions of any three characters, in the same order of collocation, the last of them being 8.
Suppose Ida was right and that it contained a cypher or cryptograph which would give a clue to the whereabouts of the treasure? If so it was obvious that it would be one of the simplest nature. A man confined by himself in a dungeon and under sentence of immediate death would not have been likely to pause to invent anything complicated.
The pun upon the word 'Kidd' is appreciable in no other language than the English. But for this consideration I should have begun my attempts with the Spanish and French, as the tongues in which a secret of this kind would most naturally have been written by a pirate of the Spanish Main. As it was, I assumed the cryptograph to be English. "You observe there are no divisions between the words.
He was subsequently commissioned colonel and aid-de-damp, and assigned to duty in the War Department, and was also placed in charge of the cypher correspondence of the Secretary of War. The cryptograph used throughout the war was perfected by him, and baffled all attempts of the enemy to translate it.
