"No," answered Canaris, "but before he died he gave me this," and, pulling a folded bit of linen from his pocket he handed it to Guy.
"Can you read that?" he asked in strange excitement. "I have never been able to make anything out of it."
Guy pulled it carefully open and gazed with interest on the faded characters that had apparently been written in blood.
"Yes," he said after a pause, "I can read it. It is French."
"Go on," said Canaris. "Tell me quickly what it is."
"It translates as follows," rejoined Guy:
"Half way between Elephant Peak and the Lion's Head. The south side of the stone kraal. The rock with the cross."
Canaris sprang to his feet and staggered back against the wall of the dungeon.
"It was Providence that brought you here," he cried. "It is wonderful, wonderful!"
"What do you mean?" said Guy. "How can this aid us?"
