So you know where to find me, or any of your attendant demons can know, in case I am to suffer "substituted service." Your affectionate Cousin, ERNEST ROGER HALBARD MELTON.
_Letter from Admiral Rooke to the Gospodar Rupert_.
_August_ 1, 1907.
SIR, In obedience to your explicit direction that I should meet Mr.Ernest R.H.Melton at Fiume, and report to you exactly what occurred, "without keeping anything back,"-- as you will remember you said, I beg to report.
I brought the steam-yacht _Trent_ to Fiume, arriving there on the morning of Thursday.

At 11.30 p.m.

I went to meet the train from St.Peter, due 11.40.

It was something late, arriving just as the clock was beginning to strike midnight.

Mr.Melton was on board, and with him his valet Jenkinson.
