ed by the
police. When the two pass the corner B. let member H.B. if all is well
blow one long blast on his whistle as a signal to J.T. But if they are
followed let H.B. blow five short blasts and take to the fields.
When J.T. gets the O.K. signal let him post his men in readiness to
quietly surround the two and search them for weapons. If he gets a
warning signal let him pass on a warning to J.T. and all must scatter
in the market gardens and make their way home separately. After the
two have been searched and sent on, J.T. will give the clear signal to
T.D.
When the two arrive at the fork of the road E. member C.S. will keep
them covered while T.D. takes the package and examines the contents.
It is supposed that the man will bring Evan Weir as his companion, and
C.S. must therefore take especial care not to betray himself by his
voice.
When T.D. has satisfied himself the package is O.K. let him direct the
two men to continue walking by the right-hand fork of the road, and
when they have passed on, let T.D. and C.S. make their getaway in the
car, signalling all clear as they start. When T.D.'s clear signal is
heard let all members make their way separately to their homes. On the
way back J.T. can give the word to H.B. None of the members must meet
together later that night.
Meanwhile T.D. and C.S. make their way back to town by the same route
they went out by, C.S. driving. T.D. after distributing the contents
of the package through his various pockets, will drop off the car at
any suitable spot according to his judgment, taking care that he is not
under observation at the moment. He will return home, taking due
precautions against being followed.
C.S. will return to his home in the car. If the car is required, a
telephone message will be awaiting him there. If there is no message
let him put the car up. If he is followed, it is no great matter,
nothing can be brought home to him. After putting the car up let him
return to his home for an hour. At the end of that time if no one has
been there he can be pretty sure that he has not been traced. At
eleven o'clock then, let him proceed to the club-house and report to me
on the night's happenings. He can then take the old man home. A
pass-word for the night will be communicated to him verbally.
Let every member commit the contents of this paper to memory and
destroy his copy.
THE CHIEF.
