Inevitabaly they were caught and jailed. Beaurepos was sentenced to death which was later commuted to imprisonment, and Shiber was sentenced to 3 years hard labour. Shortly after America entered the war she was traded for a German spy being held in the United States. Reprinted from the 1943 Charles Scribner edition.
