Very pleasurable to be in a convoy of ships with no rough waves buffeting the yacht. He’d telegraphed their arrival to Damien and now he welcomed the brief respite of the Canal. Damien wired in return that Jase would find matters in order when he reached Beira. They both felt obliged to couch everything in cryptic terms, since neither Lord Salisbury nor Cecil Rhodes would appreciate even the slightest cause for public speculation. Sending a wire required relays and they’d agreed to be circumspect. No use advertising why Jason traveled to South Africa. Quite evidently Damien had managed to secure Lord Salisbury’s cooperation. No wonder, Damien possessed powers no one could easily ignore. Now he must concentrate on how to cope with Rafe’s condition when he finally reached him. He wished Damien had been able to come with him, even though there’d really never been a question of his leaving Toria and Debora alone for any stretch of time. Damien’s powers could so easily be necessary to deal with the evil baron.
