'How far could you go like that? 'Don't know. Let's have another try. I can't sit still all day. Let's explore this channel. 'Why not go to Memmert? I said, in fun.

Leaving Böhme to study dates, post-marks, and contents to his heart's content, and unobserved, I turned to sympathize with my fair neighbour, who complained that her head was going round; and no wonder. But at this juncture, and very much to my surprise, Davies struck in. 'I should like to go to Memmert, he said. 'You? said von Brüning. 'Now I'm surprised at that.
It was quite thirty miles to Memmert, with three watersheds to pass; behind Baltrum, Norderney, and Juist. A skipper with nerve and perfect confidence might take us over one of these in the dark, but most of the run would infallibly have to be made outside.
