"A German—Neudeck was selling military plans to the Russians—Goritz!"
Koulas sprang to his feet triumphantly—"Goritz! It was Goritz who discovered him——"
Renwick was listening eagerly, and Koulas turned with a shrug. "Nothing much, my friend. And yet—a coincidence perhaps—Goritz, Neudeck, Dukla. Goritz—Strahni—'the center of the map—at the top.' It might be worth trying."
"I shall try it. There is nothing else for me to do. The Pass is used for transport?"
"No. The line of communication is through Mezo Laborcz."
"It will be risky——"
"Not unless you make it so. With luck you shall bear a letter to General Lechnitz (which you need never deliver) as a writer for a newspaper."
"That can be managed?"
"I hope—I believe—I am confident."
Renwick smiled. Herr Koulas was something of a humorist.
