Quotation from: Out of Time's Abyss

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs

"Many months have passed since I knew what was going on among my
friends," he replied. "I cannot know what has befallen them.
They should have been gone from here in this vessel long since,
and so I cannot understand why it is still here. I am going to
investigate first before I show myself. When I left, there were
more Germans on the U-33 than there were men of my own party at
the fort, and I have had sufficient experience of Germans to know
that they will bear watching--if they have not been properly
watched since I left."
