тАЬThat's right,тАЭ he said. тАЬWhat was the idea?тАЭ

тАЬA precaution,тАЭ said the Commander, тАЬagainst our being overheard.тАЭ

тАЬOverheard by whom?тАЭ

тАЬI wish I knew!тАЭ
тАЬDon't you?тАЭ

тАЬNo.тАЭ Commander Giesen leaned forward earnestly. тАЬThere is the damnedest mystery connected with

тАЬNothing more,тАЭ said Commander Giesen. тАЬExcept the name of the submarine commander, the location
of the craft, and the time of sailing.тАЭ

тАЬThat,тАЭ said Renny, тАЬis what I meant by psychology.тАЭ And he began laughing.

Commander Giesen was disturbed by Renny's mirth. тАЬI am not trying to be funny, I assure you,тАЭ he said
