Next, from out of the blackness of the ocean they make out a little motor-dory. Balanced out on the gunwale of the little dory, when it comes nearer, they see an American bluejacket smoking a cigarette. No one else was in the dory. The dory ran alongside.
"He's had beastly luck at the last two holes," grumbled Dick Tresize, who was evidently deeply chagrined. The next hole was halved in bogey.
