About this book
My Adventures as a Spy is by Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell Baden-Powell of Gilwell. The book is illustrated by the author's own sketches. The text says naval and military officers are sent to carry out special investigations by all countries, and paid detectives are stationed in likely centres to gather information.
The text names traitor spies and says of them: for these I allow I have not a good word, they are men who sell their countries' secrets for money. The author writes of a dockyard inside a great high wall, where it was rumoured a new power-house was being erected, and of being promptly ejected by the policeman on duty in the lodge. On reaching the capital the author is put into a hotel with the passport taken away, and very soon finds that a detective told off for the purpose is watching.
