I immediately set to work under the eyes of Lorina and Freer.

You can imagine in what excitement I now write this. Our work is

done!--or almost done, for we have not yet got a line on that

mysterious and terrible "boss." For a moment I thought it might be

Freer, but he is as subservient to Lorina as the rest. Man! Man!

What a haul we shall make--if there is no slip! We must do our best of

course to ensure complete success, but I beg of you not to risk too far

what we have in our grasp, in the hope of getting more. I confess I am

a little scared by the magnitude of the developments to-day. Do not

wait too long before delivering your master stroke!
