Nisgeis's hand fell to his hip and his thumb flipped up the pocket of his long leather coat. In one fluid motion he reached into his pocket and drew out his revolver.
He smiled at Tinman as he raised the pistol and said "You must of course take mine! You are a most dependable officer and a moment's slip should not count against you."
"By the way, I did not have chance to answer you about your request. I can only assume that my direct question embarassed you and for that I am so very sorry. I do not believe the spies should be removed at present."
"Oh yes, I believe that our two spies have brought oh so much more than a little boat from England. They have brought something... indescribable. Something... Unique. A real super weapon."
"Perhaps it would be most wise to leave our undercover men in the Britisher's midst, so they can report on the new develeopments. What say you? You have a wise head on those shoulders?"
"Perhaps you have thoughts on who Oberst HunterIXC should like to interrogate tonight? I could use a... layman's perspective on matters."

undercover men? our spies?
"Sir, you mean to say we have spies inside the englishmens crew?"
incredible.. german spies are the best in the world, no doubt about it!
"Anything I can do to help, Herr Nisgeis! I will be honered! If you will excuse me, I have to escort the prisoner to the camp. And thank you for the pistol, sir! I am in your debt!".
