<p>“I felt the swing of it as soon as I saw it,” said Vesey. “Hurrah for old Calloway! He’s done the Japs and every paper in town that prints literature instead of news. Take a look at that.”</p>
<p>Thus had Vesey set forth the reading of the code:</p>

<p>“It’s simply newspaper English,” explained Vesey. “I’ve been reporting on the <i epub:type="se:name.publication.newspaper">Enterprise</i> long enough to know it by heart. Old Calloway gives us the cue word, and we use the word that naturally follows it just as we use ’em in the paper. Read it over, and you’ll see how pat they drop into their places. Now, here’s the message he intended us to get.”</p>
<p>Vesey handed out another sheet of paper.</p>

<p>“Read it to me,” said Sammy, watching a cloud of pipe-smoke he had just blown out the window.</p>
