ABSTRACT
The Tyne and Tees have long ago been surveyed by Germany, and no doubt the accurate and detailed information pigeonholed in the Intelligence Bureau at Berlin would, if seen by the good people of Newcastle, cause them a 'mauvais quart dheure', as well as considerable alarm. Among the members of the secret German club which, by the way, included in its membership several Swiss and Belgians was a middle-aged man who went by the name of John Barker, but who was either a German or a Swede, and whose real name most probably ended in burger. The Baron de Moret is no other person than Lucien Carron, one of Hartmanns most trusted agents, while Julies real name is Erna Hertfeldt, a very clever female spy, who has, of late, been engaged in endeavouring to obtain certain facts regarding the defences of the Humber estuary.
