Grimm was to come, and he's at Memmert. 'Here's the map... Emden and Norddeich are the only coast stations till you get to Wilhelmshaven no, to Carolinensiel; but those are a long way east. 'And Emden's a long way south. Say Norddeich then; but according to this there's no train there after 6.15 p.m.; that's hardly "night". When's high tide on the 25th?
Possibly; but I cared not, for my mind was far from Memmert to-night. It was the course for England too. Yes, I understood at last.
Such was Memmert, as I saw it on the chart, taking in its features mechanically, for while Davies lay there heedless and taciturn, a pretence of interest was useless. I knew perfectly well what was between us, but I did not see why I should make the first move; for I had a grievance too, an old one.
Impromptu parties are always the pleasantest, and this one was delightfully impromptu. Now I bet you I know its origin! Didn't you discuss us at Memmert? And didn't one of you suggest 'One would almost think you had been there, said Dollmann. 'You may thank your vile climate that we weren't, I retorted, laughing. 'But, as I was saying, didn't one of you suggest which of you?
I had finessed Memmert, as one finesses a low card when holding a higher; but I had too much respect for our adversaries to trade on any fancied security we had won thereby. They had allowed me to win the trick, but I credited them with a better knowledge of my hand than they chose to show.
Something was going on at Memmert to-day; our men had gone there; here were we, ten miles away, in a smothering, blinding fog. It was known we were here Dollmann and Grimm knew it; the crew of the Medusa knew it; the crew of the Kormoran knew it; the man on the pier, whether he cared or not, knew it. But none of them knew Davies as I knew him. Would anyone dream for an instant ?
Here's the best I can see on the chart a big triangular beacon marked on the very point of Memmert. You'll pass it. 'All right. I'm off. 'Good luck, said Davies, faintly. I stepped out, climbed a miry glacis of five or six feet, reached hard wet sand, and strode away with the sluggish ripple of the Balje on my left hand.
Had it been necessary I was prepared to encourage such a view, admitting that the cloth von Brüning wore had made his connexion with Memmert curious, and had suggested to Davies, for I should have put it on him, with his naval enthusiasms, that the wreck-works were really naval-defence works.
For the rest, I found the book dull, and, in fact, it sent me to sleep. 21 Blindfold to Memmert 'HERE she comes, said Davies. It was nine o'clock on the next day, 22nd October, and we were on deck waiting for the arrival of the steamer from Norddeich.
'What's that about me? joined in von Brüning. 'I was saying that we're dying to know more about Memmert, aren't we, Davies? 'Oh, I don't know, said Davies, evidently aghast at my temerity; but I did not mind that. If he roughed my suit, so much the better; I intended to rough his.
