'You will be safe here, but you must keep still till the Master comes.' 'Is the Frankish lady here ?' I asked.
Hussin nodded, and from a wallet brought out some food--raisins and cold meat and a loaf of bread.

We fell on it like vultures, and as we ate Hussin disappeared.

I noticed that he locked the door behind him.
As soon as the meal was ended the others returned to their interrupted sleep.

But I was wakeful now and my mind was sharp-set on many things.
I got Blenkiron's electric torch and lay down on the divan to study Stumm's map.
The first glance showed me that I had lit on a treasure.

It was the staff map of the Erzerum defences, showing the forts and the field trenches, with little notes scribbled in Stumm's neat small handwriting.
