He knew very well that Phineas Duge had neither connections nor relatives in England. Only a few weeks ago, in talking to Virginia at dinner-time, she had told him that she had no hope, at present at any rate, of visiting Europe. Later in the day he sent a marconigram back to New York. Perhaps Weiss would see something suggestive in the presence of this child upon the steamer!
"Well, present my compliments to the wonderful Mr. Crawshay! I presume that I am at liberty now to take my bath?" "In one moment, Mr. Thew. Even though you do not choose to answer them, there are certain questions I intend to ask. The first is, are you prepared to produce the Marconigram which you received last evening?" "How do you know that I received one?"
He said nothing about the marconigram he had sent, or the answer which he had received informing him that there was no such person on board. It seemed scarcely worth while to worry her. "I have heard nothing," he replied. "Of course, he must be half-way to America by now." "There have been no more inquiries about him?" she asked. "No more than the usual ones from his friends, and a few creditors.
"Now," he muttered to the others in a low tone, "leave the questioning to me, and mention no names." He picked up a Marconigram lying among the letters, and read it. Without a word, but smiling slightly, he handed it unobtrusively to Curtis. It bore that day's date, and the decoded time of delivery was 4 P.M. "Arriving to-night," it ran. "Coming direct Fifty-Ninth Street.
There I should have been successful beyond a doubt if some busybody hadn't sent that cable to her husband. I wonder if you were idiot enough to do that, Aynesworth?" "If I had thought of the Marconigram," Aynesworth said, "I am sure I should have done it. But as a matter of fact, I did not." "Just as well, so far as our relations are concerned," Wingrave said coldly.
I have no doubt but that you will be successful." Aynesworth moved towards the door. Once more Wingrave called him back. He was leaning a little forward across the table. His face was very set and cold. "There is a question which I wish to ask you, Aynesworth," he said. "It concerns another matter altogether. Do you know who sent the Marconigram to Dr.
"It is that infernal voyage!" he said to himself, as he got out of the car and entered the hotel. "One cannot think about reasonable things on days when the marconigram fails." He bought a cigar at the stall and strolled over to the tape. It was a busy afternoon, and reports from America were coming in fast. He nodded as he turned away. Weiss and the rest had had their lesson.
Now ships frequently send a Marconigram home when they are right in the middle of the ocean; and many lives have been saved through ships in distress having been able to send out wireless messages which have brought other vessels steaming up to their aid. In fact, this invention of Marconi's is, perhaps, the greatest of all modern inventions, and it is but right that it should preserve his name.
"No; we ain't never seen dat craft yere. Dis port's more for lumber and " Mr. Heatherbloom looked down. "I saw an item in the paper" he strove to speak unconcernedly "a Marconigram that a certain Russian prince's private yacht the Nevski had damaged her propeller, or some other part of her gear, and was being towed into this harbor for emergency repairs." "Oh, yes, boss!" said the man.
"You have done your cause no harm," Sogrange assured him, with subtle sarcasm. "We come now to the Duchesse." The Prince leaned towards him. It was just at this moment that a steward entered with a marconigram, which he presented to the Prince. The latter tore it open, glanced it through, and gave vent to a little exclamation. The fingers which held the missive, trembled.
