Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Illustrious Prince "What, now?" he asked. "If you please," was the quiet answer. "The matter is urgent." "Who are you?" the captain asked. "My name is Hamilton Fynes," the other answered. "I am a saloon passenger on board your ship, although my name does not appear in the list. That note has been in my pocket since we left New York, to deliver to you in the event of a certain contingency happening." "The contingency being?" the captain asked, tearing open the envelope and moving a little nearer the electric light which shone out from the smoking-room. "That the Lusitania did not land her passengers this evening." The captain read the note, examined the signature carefully, and whistled softly to himself. "You know what is inside this?" he asked, looking into his companion´s face with some curiosity. "Certainly," was the brief reply. "Your name is Mr. Hamilton Fynes, the Mr. Hamilton Fynes mentioned in this letter?" "That is so," the passenger admitted. The captain nodded. "Well," he said, "you had better get down on the lower deck, port side. By the bye, have you any friends with you?" Mr. Hamilton Fynes shook his head. "I am quite alone," he answered. "So much the better," the captain declared. "Don´I tell any one that you are going ashore if you can help it." "I certainly will not, sir," the other answered. "Thanh you very much."
