OSCAR SLATER.

But news filtrates in somehow, and from a convict just returned from
"seclusion".

The convict say
that it was through the lose" as "we blokes call it," that Slater was informed. "It's a tedious process," he said, this wireless' dodge. It's a kind of Morse system of tapping. The letter A means one tap, B two, and so on. So when the message was rapped out to him,
Sherlock Holmes trying to get you out; big slaps in the newspapers,' it took a time, as you can understand. The letter S itself meant aineteen raps. But time does not count there, that is, time after working hours." The convict continued, "The wardare are up to the tapping, and do their best to stop it; but that is impossible.
When a new hatch comes frous Glasgow, Edinburgh, or Dundee, there's quite a rum, on the Wires'."
