`` Good ! '' exclaimed Kapitan Schwalbe . `` Tell them that I purpose to rendezvous twenty kilometres S.W. by W. of The Lizard , on Thursday at 10 p.m. I am now about to take in fuel . Will communicate again at noon to-morrow . Ask them if they have picked up a wireless from U74 . '' Some time elapsed before the message could be coded by the sender and translated by the receiving submarine . When the reply confirming the rendezvous was received , a message was added to the effect that U77 had heard nothing of U74 for three days .
