Excerpt from The Accursed Roccos: A Tale of Dalmatia There. Was a third member of our party. That was Herr ober-leutnant Overmann of the Aus trian Army, - oi the Ingenieurs, and it had been through his eloquence and urging that Harry and I had decided to cross over and visit Dalmatia and Montenegro, on our way to Vienna. I had had a slight previous acquaintance with the Ober Leutnant in Vienna and knowing beforehand that he would be in Naples I had hunted him up there. We had come over to Brindisi together. Harry's keenness in reading his fellows was shown at once, when, upon being introduced, he had asked the In genieur How many wives he had. The Ingenieur had been attached, recently, to the Austrian garri son in Trebinje where he was to have special work which would occupy his time for several years. But he was already no stranger to Dalmatia. The Ingenieur spoke English almost without accent, and seldom made a mistake of any account.
