Fischer glanced at the driver's seat of the car, as though aware of the man's disappearance for the first time. "What's become of the fellow?" he inquired. "Shot himself," the inspector replied, "after a deliberate attempt to murder this gentleman." Mr. Fischer's composure was admirable. There was a touch of gravity mingled with his bewilderment. Nevertheless, he avoided meeting Lutchester's eyes.
For instance, it was quite obvious that Turner had changed. His school suit was hung on his peg, his blazer was presumably on him, and yet his cricket trousers were lying on the floor, with Fischer's house scarf sticking out of the pocket. There were many other like discoveries. In hall that night the Chief asked Turner whose trousers he was wearing that afternoon.
"That's easy enough," Van Teyl replied, rising from his place. "And I'll order tea at the same time." Pamela leaned a little further back in her chair. Her eyes seemed to be fixed upon the pleasant prospect of wooded slopes and green, upward-stretching sward. As a matter of fact, she saw only two faces Fischer's and Lutchester's.
"Do you think, perhaps, that you underestimate Mr. Fischer's position over here?" she asked thoughtfully. "I don't think I do," he replied, "but here is something which you have scarcely appreciated.
There were certain law papers he had taken home with him from the office that afternoon and that it was necessary he should return in the morning. Ah, you bet, he would get it right in the neck if old Beale didn't have those depositions the first thing when the office was open. Ah, he was getting to be indispensable down there. He had had Fischer's place now for a year.
"But these marriages one must have courage; and after all, give them time, they all make the happy family bigger thank God for that... Are there many people here just now?" "Every room engaged." I was reading the "Miracles of Lourdes," which a Catholic priest fixing a gloomy eye upon my soul had begged me to digest; but its wonders were completely routed by Frau Fischer's arrival.
But poor Fischer's knowledge of anatomy was as unsound as his strategy, for the bullet perforated his stomach. And it took him three days to die. A tribe which has contributed largely to the German military forces is the Wanyamwezi. Of excellent physique, they long resisted German domination, but now they are entirely subdued.
Colonel Fischer's column gained possession of the enemy's batteries at the point assigned for its attack, two hours before daylight, but the other columns were behind time, having got entangled by marching too near the lake, between the rocks and the water, and the enemy being now on the alert, opened a heavy fire upon the leading column of the second division which threw it into confusion.
Fischer's face darkened. His tone was almost irritable. "That is already preordained," he said firmly. "You see, I will be quite frank with you. Germany has lost her chance of sweeping and complete victory. The result of the war will be a return to the status-quo-ante. Yet, believe me, Germany will be strong enough to settle some of the debts she owes, and the debt to Japan is one of these."
"Admiral Fischer's orders have been followed out, sir," said Jack in a low voice. Lord Hastings nodded but made no reply. Behind the U-16 the other German submarines followed closely, two abreast. Aboard each the men stood to their posts, awaiting the signal they expected at any minute. All the vessels moved along upon the surface.
