His back was toward Billy and it took all the latter's self restraint to refrain from giving the rally call, but he remembered what he had promised Maurice's father. So he slid down from the post and picking up the slate, produced a stub of slate-pencil from a pocket and wrote a message in symbols. Then on the other side of the slate he duplicated the message, adding the necessary key to the code. This was the message that Billy wrote "But how do you know this?" asked Wilson in amazement.

"Desolation!" he murmured, "desolation! the natural home of ignorance." "What next?" "It is," said Caleb shortly, "and my eyes are gettin' sharper every day, Billy." "I am sorry to say," said the Admiral, sinking into a chair, "that I have brought no news.".
