Carson and Jellicoe came across the room and sat down with us. "I've been telling the Ambassador, Carson, that we've got to settle the Irish question now in spite of you. "I'll tell you something else we've got to settle now," said Carson. "Else it'll settle us. That's the submarines.
It was found that among the moneys advanced by Jellicoe to Cort there was a sum of 27,500L. entrusted to him for the payment of seamen's and officers' wages. How his embarrassments had tempted him to make use of the public funds for the purpose of carrying on his speculations, appears from his own admissions.
So would mine." "Everybody's would, I expect." "Yes." The bed creaked, as Jellicoe digested these great thoughts. Then he spoke again. "It would be a jolly beastly thing to get sacked." Mike was too tired to give his mind to the subject. He was not really listening. Jellicoe droned on in a depressed sort of way.
"And that's no bad thing for Tommy," said Jim. "Oo's 'e?" demanded Joe. "Oh that's his sister." "Rum names gals gets nowadays," said Joe, pondering. "Not on'y gels, neither. 'S a chap on top of the 'ill 'as a new baby, an' 'e's called it 'Aig Wipers Jellicoe. 'Course, 'e did go to the war, but 'e ain't got no need ter rub it into the poor kid like that."
"The evidence of the will, then, pointed to Mr. Jellicoe as the agent in the disappearance, and, after reading it, I definitely suspected him of the crime.

His escape is the mystery of the battle: throughout the night his starboard ships were continually barging into vessels on our port, but no news of these encounters reached the commander-in-chief. Till nearly noon Jellicoe watched for a fleet that never appeared, and then made his way back to his base, a victor baulked of the ostensible fruits of his victory.
Jellicoe was apparently not in conversational mood. He uttered no word for quite three minutes. At the end of which time he gave a sound midway between a snort and a sigh. "I say, Jackson!" he said. "Yes?" "Have you oh, nothing." Silence again. "Jackson." "Hullo?" "I say, what would your people say if you got sacked?" "All sorts of things. Especially my pater. Why?" "Oh, I don't know.
From another point of view he was wrong, for he was running at full speed directly away from his own supports and directly toward those of his opponent. He thought, and Jellicoe appears to have thought, that the Germans did not wish to fight.
As to which of the four was the one, the circumstances furnished only a hint, which was this: If the scarab had been purposely dropped, the most likely person to find it was the one who dropped it.
