over the one by which
we had entered. He tried the door. It was locked on the inside. Somebody
was within.

So we crept across to the opposite side. Here the door was also locked,
but a flash from the torch revealed that there was no key inside. It was
a locked room, and Ray determined to see what lay beyond.

Therefore, with infinite care not to make a sound, he drew from his
pocket some skeleton keys, one of which slid back the bolt, and in a
moment we were within.

The torch, an instant later, revealed an amazing state of things. Pinned
down to the large deal table before the window was a huge map of the
district from Weybourne towards Yarmouth, about five feet square, made
up of various sections of the six-inch ordnance map, and literally
covered with annotations and amplifications in German, written in red
ink. Upon strings stretched across one end of the room were a number of
photographic films and prints in process of drying, while strewn about
the place were rough military sketches--the result of the labours of
many months--a couple of cameras, measuring tapes, a heliograph
apparatus, a portfolio full of carefully drawn plans with German
explanations beneath, and a tin box, which, when opened, we found to
contain a number of neatly written reports and memoranda in German, all
ready for transmission to Berlin!

Ray seized a whole handful of these papers--a translation of one of
which is here reproduced--and stuffed them into his pocket, saying:

"These will prove interesting reading for us later on, no doubt."

In Sheringham and Cromer comprised in this District are
resident forty-six German subjects, mostly hotel servants,
waiters, and tradesmen, who have each been allotted their task
on "the Day."

ARMS:--a store of arms is in a house at Kelling Heath, where on
receipt of the signal all will secretly assemble, and at a
given hour surprise and hold up the coastguard at all stations
in their district, cut all telegraph and telephones shown upon
the large map to be destroyed, wire in pre-arranged cipher to
their comrades at Happisburgh to seize the Germa
