CONCEALING A FORT IN A MOTH'S HEAD.

[Illustration: _Another example of this method of making secret plans

is shown here._

_This sketch was made, giving all the particulars that I wanted. I

then decided to bury it in such a way that it could not be recognised

as a fortress plan if I were caught by the military authorities.

One idea which occurred to me was to make it into the doorway of a

cathedral or church, but I finally decided on the sketch of the moth's

head. Underneath in my note-book I wrote the following words:--_

"_Head of Dula moth as seen through a magnifying glass. Caught

19.5.12. Magnified about six times size of life." (Meaning

scale of 6 inches to the mile.)_]
