It was a code cablegram, signed by the Blue Star Navigation Company and addressed to Murphy in care of von Staden & Ulrich. When decoded it read: "Execute the orders of supercargo if possible. It may lead to further business. Charterers must take the risk. We do not think there is any risk. Please remain." This cablegram was signed "Matt." "Well, captain?" von Staden queried politely.
It must have been nearly nine o'clock when a personal message came for me. Not through the ordinary open airways, but in the National Length, and coded. It came to my desk by official messenger, decoded, printed and sealed. Jac Hallen, Inter-Allied News. Come to me, North-east Island at once, if they can spare you. Important. Answer. Dr. Brende.
He transmitted it to the spaceport controller, got clearance, and was lifting off at the specified time. Not long afterward, he was far enough from the planet to make the transition to hyperspace, and did so. Owajima smiled as he read his agent's decoded message.
