The war was an inefficient revenge. The country still flourishes. It is for you to avenge America. With money Marsine can establish a republic in Spain within twenty-four hours! Sirdeller hesitates. He would point out that it had never been proved that the destruction of the Maine was really due to Spanish treachery. It is the idea of a business man which followed.
Can't you imagine how he would put it? 'A revolution, he would tell Sirdeller, 'is imminent in Spain. Here is the new President of the Republic. Money is no more to you than water. You are a patriotic American. Have you forgotten that the finest warship your country ever built, with six hundred of her devoted citizens, was sent to the bottom by the treachery of one of this effete race?
"I shall not inform the Count von Hern of our conversation. It is not necessary, and, between ourselves, the Count is jealous. He sends me message after message that I remain in my state-room, that I seek no interview with Sirdeller, that I watch only. He is too much of the spy the Count von Hern. He does not understand that code of honour, relying upon which I open my heart to you."
It is a matter of common report that the entire cost of these works is being undertaken by Sirdeller." "Now," Peter murmured, "you are really beginning to interest me." "This week," Sogrange went on, "it is expected that the result of the salvage works will be made known.
"You mean Sirdeller's motives?" "Not at all," Peter answered. "An hour ago I came across the explanation of these. The one thing I will tell you afterwards. Now listen. Sirdeller came abroad last year for twelve months' travel. He took a great house in San Sebastian." "Where did you hear this?" Sogrange asked. "I read the story in the New York Herald," Peter continued.
"It is grossly exaggerated, of course, but this is the substance of it. Sirdeller and his suite were stopped upon the Spanish frontier and treated in an abominable fashion by the Customs officers. He was forced to pay a very large sum, unjustly, I should think. He paid under protest, appealed to the authorities, with no result.

"Nearly everybody, however, believed at the last moment that Sirdeller had transferred his passage to the Lusitania." "It's going to cost him an awful lot in marconigrams," Peter said. "By the bye, wouldn't it have been better for us to have traveled separately, and incognito?" Sogrange shrugged his shoulders slightly. "Von Hern has at least one man on board," he replied.
Sirdeller held his right hand towards his doctor, who felt his pulse. All the time Sirdeller watched him, his lips a little parted, a world of hungry excitement in his eyes. The doctor closed his watch with a snap and whispered something in Sirdeller's ear, apparently reassuring. "I will hear this story," Sirdeller announced. "In two minutes every one must leave.
Anguish of mind may live. To-night, six hundred ghosts may hang about your pillow!" Her voice broke. There was something grim and unnatural in that curious stillness. Even the secretary was at last breathing a little faster. The watchman at the door was leaning forward. Sirdeller simply moved his hand to the doctor, who held up his finger while he felt the pulse.
