"A story which appeared in 'The Daily Owl.' In that romance I let them know what was going on. Yes, I frightened the lackadaisical bounders into a panic. Lunan Bay I pointed out as a landing-place. The coast near St. Andrews I also emphasised as a jumping-off shore, while Dundee was proved to be without a gun or boat to defend it; in fact, the whole coast displayed a general invitation to the Germans to come and shoot."
"What happened?"
"Some official big-wig stopped the story."
"Why?"
"It showed every weakness up, but——"
"What?"
"They got to work. Dundee got a submarine base; Montrose got aeroplanes; Fife was scheduled out for guns, troops, and trenches; Cromarty was seized and fortified; and Rosyth works pushed on."
"You finished then, I suppose?"
"No fear. I went out to the Dominion of Canada to see how things were going."
"And what did you find?"
