Everything went well, and we found Norderney just where we wanted it next afternoon, and if the shore-end had been laid, could have finished there and then, October 1st. But when we got to Norderney, we found the Caroline with shore-end lying apparently aground, and could not understand her signals; so we had to anchor suddenly, and I went off in a small boat with the captain to the Caroline.
At half-past nine I was despatching this unscrupulous telegram to my chief 'Very sorry, could not call Norderney; hope extension all right; please write to Hôtel du Louvre, Paris. At ten I was in the perfect bed, rapturously flinging my limbs abroad in its glorious redundancies.
You I take to have discretion, or I should not have said a word. Still, I will add this. We know very little of Herr Dollmann, of his origin, his antecedents. He is half a Swede, I believe, certainly not a Prussian; came to Norderney three years ago, appears to be rich, and has joined in various commercial undertakings. Little scope about here?
The glass was rising, so we turned in and slept under the very wing, so to speak, of the Imperial Government. 'Davies, I said, when we were settled in our bunks, 'it's only a day's sail to Norderney, isn't it? 'With a fair wind, less, if we go outside the islands direct. 'Well, it's settled that we do that to-morrow? 'I suppose so. We've got to get the anchor first. Good-night.
Reuter was at Norderney, and I had to do the best I could, which was not much, and went to bed early; I thought I should never sleep again, but in sheer desperation got up in the middle of the night and gulped a lot of raw whiskey and slept at last. But not long. A Mr.
Davies found it and spread it on the table between us, first pushing back the cloth and the breakfast things to one end, where they lay in a slovenly litter. This was one of the only two occasions on which I ever saw him postpone the rite of washing up, and it spoke volumes for the urgency of the matter in hand. 'Here's Norderney, you see.
But one or two more fragments from his correspondence may be taken, and first this brief sketch of the laying of the Norderney cable; mainly interesting as showing under what defects of strength and in what extremities of pain, this cheerful man must at times continue to go about his work.
She saw it opening out warm and familiar back and back to the strange beginning in the winter. They would be there again to-night, singing. One morning she knew that there was going to be a change. The term was coming to an end. There was to be a going away. The girls were talking about "Norderney." "Going to Norderney, Hendy?" Jimmie said suddenly. "Ah!" she responded mysteriously.
She must exert her influence. Presently she forgot Mademoiselle's presence altogether. They were all walking along very quickly.... If she were going to Norderney with the English girls she must be on easy terms with them. "Ah, ha!" somebody was saying. "Oh-ho!" said Miriam in response. "Ih-hi!" came another voice. "Tre-la-la," trilled Bertha Martin gently.
WHEN, exactly, the atmosphere of misunderstanding on the stranded tug was dissipated, I do not know, for by the time I had fitted the rowlocks and shipped sculls, tide and wind had caught me, and were sweeping me merrily back on the road to Norderney, whose lights twinkled through the scud in the north.
