O'Rourke Accepts French Mission Amid Intrigue
Colonel Terence O'Rourke is approached by Des Trebes of the French government with a secret commission to travel from Paris to New York by sea, promising 25 000 francs and a potential 50 000 more on success. A mysterious envelope and a running clash with Des Trebes hint at espionage, a veiled rendezvous, and possible spying by a femme de chambre.
