CHAPTER X.
IN BARCELONA Four months later Captain Ferragut was in Barcelona.
During the interval he had made three trips to Salonica, and on the second had to appear before a naval captain of the army of the Orient.
The French officer was informed of his former expeditions for the victualing of the allied troops.

He knew his name and looked upon him as does a judge interested in the accused.

He had received from Marseilles a long telegram with reference to Ferragut.

A spy submitted to military justice was accusing him of having carried supplies to the German submarines.
"How about that, Captain ?..." Ulysses hesitated, looking at the official's grave face, framed by a grey beard.

This man inspired his confidence.
