I sent Dimmock on in front, and waited for Eugen.

He did not arrive.

I telegraphed back to Cologne, his last stopping-place, and I learned that he had left there in accordance with his programme; I learned also that he had passed through Brussels.

It must have been between Brussels and the railway station at Ostend Quay that he disappeared.

He was travelling with a single equerry, and the equerry, too, has vanished.
