“Hello, Burton. I hear somebody broke into your stateroom. Did he take anything?”

“No. How did you hear anything about it?”

“The burglar told me.”

“What!”

“I should have said the alleged and exonerated burglar.”

“Mr. Watson?”

“Yes.”

Glennon smiled at Guy’s bewilderment.

“That’s funny,” the latter remarked. “I didn’t think he’d say anything about it.”

“He seemed to take it as a joke.”
