At last, all these treasures were stowed away, and Gotzkowsky addressed himself to rest, when the door of his room was suddenly opened, and General von Bachmann entered hastily. "Gotzkowsky," said he, "I have come with important intelligence, and to redeem the promise I made to my friend Sievers."
"It should be hereabouts," whispered Sievers, and his fingers searched the wall. For a moment nothing could be heard but the deep breathing of the Saigon's company. Then came a slight but terrifying clang. "I've got it!" whispered Sievers. "Are you ready?" "Right!" Maclean's eyes were dazzled of a sudden with a hot flare of light, and the deafening thud of the condensers smote in his ears.
"I've remarked it. What do you suppose they intend to do with us?" "Maroon us, likely, if we let them, on the island yonder." "How can we prevent them? But I think not. It's my belief this meat is poisoned!" "Tastes vile enough," agreed Maclean, but he went on eating, and Robert Sievers, after a momentary hesitation, followed suit.
He concluded with some precise instructions, and a few savage sentences, in which he promised an unmentionable fate to the unfortunate who made a sound or failed to follow to the letter his instructions. A second later, in a silence that could be felt, he blew out the light, and followed Sievers into the tunnel.
Chitroff dancing, and also Mdlle. Sievers, now Princesss, whom I saw again at Dresden four years ago with her daughter, an extremely genteel young princess. I was enchanted with Mdlle. Sievers, and felt quite in love with her; but as we were never introduced I had no opportunity of declaring my passion.
Concerning the captures of this day, the German Great Headquarters reported: "On the 21st of February the remnants of the Tenth Army laid down their arms in the forest of Augustowo after all attempts of the Russian commander of this army, General Sievers, to cut a way out for the encircled four divisions by means of those parts of his army which remained to him after escaping over the Bobr to Grodno failed with extremely heavy losses."
Both were obliged, therefore, to preserve their love a secret, and in this concealment lay for Feodor a new charm which bound him to her, while it estranged Elise's heart still more from her father, and chained it in unbounded devotion to her lover. In the mean while the time arrived for Feodor to leave Berlin with General Sievers.
Upon my soul, I did not much believe you, sir, until I heard all this good news." About a week after his arrival at Reisenburg, as Vivian was at breakfast, the door opened, and Mr. Sievers entered. "I did not think that our next meeting would be in this city," said Mr. Sievers, smiling. "His Highness, of course, informed me of your arrival," said Vivian, as he greeted him cordially.
He never quite coherently remembered that which immediately ensued, for something struck him on the head. When he came to his full senses again he was lying on a grating beside the body of the Russian cleaner he had strangled. The Saigon's men were all around him. He arose, gasping for breath. Sievers thrust a bar into his hand and pointed to a line of ladders.
A few cave-black yards, crawled painfully on hands and knees, slipping and slithering along the propeller shaft, brought the leaders to the edge of a wider space. Sievers struck a match, and a well-like, vertical opening was revealed. High overhead towered and threatened an enormous steel crank. Before their feet lay a deep pool of slime. The heat was horrible.
