"I am rather hungry," said Laptev. "I should like something savoury." "Well, that can easily be managed."
It was logical, since the frogmen would not expect danger below. Rick followed, staying just behind Zircon's flippers, feeling the wash of water from his wake. The light was nearly overhead now, and Rick saw dark figures moving. It was unreal, like a Hollywood motion picture, except that the tense music of a movie production was replaced only by the soft sighing of their regulators.
His heart beat less feebly; he drew in a deep sighing breath, and stared up dazedly at Blake, with slowly returning consciousness. "I'll smoke all I please and when I please," he murmured in a supercilious drawl. Blake dashed his face with the cupful of water still left in the canteen. The wounded man flushed with quick anger and attempted to rise.
