The lads saluted and left the commander's cabin. Two hours later found Jack, with 4oo British sailors at his command, already disembarked from small boats and stealing into the woods. Frank, with his little fleet, was picking his way carefully up the river. The lad easily found a channel between the two sunken merchantmen, and the little boats pushed on.
"You," pointing to Jack, "will lead 4oo sailors around through the woods and attack the enemy from the flank. You, Mr. Chadwick," turning to Frank, "I shall put in command of a fleet of four small boats, armed with rapid-firers, and it will be your duty to try and crawl up the river without attracting the attention of the forts. Attacking from, two sides, simultaneously, we should take the town.
The crack of 4oo rifles followed this command, and under the withering fire of the British, the Germans were mowed down on all sides. At the same instant, from the river, the rapid firers in Frank's command shattered the stillness of the night with their noise of death. Thus attacked on two sides, the Germans for a moment stood as if paralyzed, men dropping on all sides. But for a moment only.
