Arriving in Sheerness, Brendon was taken to a building upon the dock-side, and there, in a small room, everything he was wearing was taken from him, and, in exchange, he received a complete outfit of Cyranian origin. His intimate personal belongings, too, his watch, his pocket-knife, his pencil, and his cigarettes and a box of matches were exchanged for like articles from the same country.
