And the big gun; is he here?" Though speaking very good English, von Brunderger occasionally lapsed into the idioms of his Fatherland. "Yes, it's on board," said Tom.
"Here he comes now," and, as he spoke, General von Brunderger came strolling along the deck. "I am glad to see that the accident of last night had no serious effects," he said, smiling. "It was no accident!" burst out Ned. "No accident? You surprise me. I thought "
