*sorry, I mistyped it as SW before. 47NW is the correct location of his house. Really wish you could edit posts.
We are told by Captain Egan's landlady, whom we suspect was once a bosun's mate on a man-o-war, that he is at the Admiralty.
I'll throw in the actual Admiralty since it's my last post for today:
<span class="mu-s">Captain Egan (10SW)</span>
Captain Egan is a small bulldog of a man. He paces back and forth behind a massive oak desk as if it were a quarterdeck railing.
"Eight months ago, Allen came ot this office with the designs for a new naval gun. Revolutionary in concept. Can't say much about it, most secret, don't you know. The design was approved and monies advanced for its development."
"Can you tell us anything about the meeting Mr. Allen was to have had with you on the evening of his murder?"
The Captain barks out a name, unintelligible to us, and an aging Lieutenant, long since beached upon the promotionless shores of paperwork, scurries into the room.
"Bring me the Grant Arms Company file... Allen sent me a wire this morning. Quite vague. Close-mouthed fellow when all is said and done. He was worried about security for Project #10. I know, but wouldn't say much about it; his responsibility; he'd take care of it. 'Course, I put some of my men on it anyway."
The Lieutenant returns with the file and is dismissed, for the time being, back into oblivion.
The captain shows us, first, the wire. It reads: (see picture)
>Meet tonight>8:30 your office>Call out the guard>Pounce at 10!>C. AllenHe then shows us a detailed list of the activities of Richard Camp, a development engineer on Project #10.
"As you can see, he was always bringing boxes and bundles to the [French Embassy]. [Emile Zobar], French Military Attache, has his offices at the Embassy.
"So you believe that Mr. Allen's wire implied he had information implicating Camp in a security breach of Project #10?"
"I did. Still do. But Lord Ragland, head of the project, assured me that Allen's security fears were unfounded. We met two days after Allen's unfortunate death. As a precaution, he told me he would remove Camp from the project.
"Since the conversation, I've concentrated my efforts on Zobar, [von Schulenberg], [Del Guerra], and [Meshkoff]. Their governments would all have great interest in our new gun. So far my men have unconvered nothing."
"Thank you, Captain."
