Commander Thompson flashed back his response: "Submarine?" "Can't make out yet," was the answer. There was some further wig-wagging; and then the need for this means of communication suddenly ceased. There came a sharp blast from the Glasgow's horn and the big ship slowed down abruptly. Then came the sound of a shot from dead ahead and there was a splash between the Glasgow and The Hawk.
