Poirot meets Ridgeway at the Cheshire Cheese to hear the facts of the case: Ridgeway was entrusted by his uncle and the other general manager, Mr Shaw, with taking a million dollars of Liberty bonds to New York to extend the bank's credit line there.

The packet disappeared just a few hours before the liner on which Ridgeway was travelling, the Olympia, docked in New York.
