n cable there, and take every precaution to prevent any fact whatsoever leaking out concerning the presence of our ships. MEN:--Every man is a trained soldier, and has taken the oath of loyalty to your Imperial Majesty. Their leader is Lieutenant Bischoffsheim, living in Tucker Street, Cromer, in the guise of a baker. EXPLOSIVES FOR BRIDGES:--These have been stored at Sandy Hill, close to Weybourne Station, marked on map. LANDING PLACE:--Weybourne is the easiest and safest along the whole coast.
