From MacKelcan's office, Mike proceeded to his own rooms. What he had learned increased his uneasiness. At home there was a cable waiting for him which he eagerly tore open, hoping for light. But it brought him up against another blank wall. For, according to the report of his own agent in London, MacKelcan had been telling the truth--so far as London was concerned. MacKelcan _had_ cabled to his agent instructing him to communicate with James Fawcett; the agent _had_ been looking for Fawcett and was unable to locate him. And Mike's agent couldn't find him either.
Mike cabled his man to transfer the search to the city of Newcastle, where, as mentioned in Mrs. Ware's will, Fawcett was supposed to have lived and worked before moving to London.
