"Try the Indefatigable," was the next command.
"Indefatigable! Indefatigable!" flashed the wireless.
The receiving apparatus aboard the Queen Mary clicked sharply.
"Indefatigable answering, sir," reported the operator.
"Send this," ordered Captain Raleigh, and passed a slip of paper on which he had scribbled rapidly to the wireless operator.
The message read as follows:
"German high sea fleet to attack off Jutland tonight. Inform Admiral
Beatty. Relay message. Am steaming for Danish coast to engage enemy.
Information authentic. Follow me!
(Signed) "RALEIGH."
A short pause and again the receiving apparatus on the Queen Mary clicked sharply.
"O.K., sir," said the operator.
