I only speak out of keen regard for your friend. It is about the Dollmanns you see how the land lies? I wouldn't encourage him. 'Thanks, I said, 'but really 'It's only a hint. He's a splendid young fellow, but if anything you understand too honest and simple. I take it you have influence with him, and I should use it. 'I was not in earnest, I said.
'I have never seen the Dollmanns; I thought they were friends of yours, I added, looking him straight in the eyes. 'I know them, but' he shrugged his shoulders 'I know everybody. 'What's wrong with them? I said, point-blank. 'Softly! Herr Carruthers. Remember, I speak out of pure friendliness to you as strangers, foreigners, and young.
The point now is, what shall we do if we meet the Dollmanns? Beads of sweat stood on Davies's brow. I felt like a torturer, but it could not be helped. 'Tax him with having wrecked you? Our quest would be at an end! We must be friendly. You must tell the story you told to-day, and chance his believing it.
It was during this stage that, crouching together aft, our pipe-bowls glowing sympathetically, we returned to the problem before us; for we had shot out on our quest with volcanic precipitation, leaving much to be discussed. I gleaned a few more facts, though I dispelled no doubts. Davies had only seen the Dollmanns on their yacht, where father and daughter were living for the time.
It was on this point that the last of all misunderstandings between me and Davies was dissipated. The channel theory had become a sort of religion with him, promising double salvation not only avoidance of the Dollmanns, but success in the quest by methods in which he was past master. To have to desert it and resort to spying on naval defences was an idea he dreaded and distrusted.
