They must not spare the knocker in the second story of the cantor house, for old Ursula's hearing was no longer the best, and since the day before yesterday Kathl had brought the news home she had been ill. "Some rare luck," the landlady continued, "will surely follow the knight up to the Blombergs.
Kaplan, the cantor, and several other men, clustering together, lingered to bandy reminiscences of Antomir, interspersing them with "bits of law." The Kaplans occupied a large, old house on Henry Street that had been built at a period when the neighborhood was considered the best in the city.
"You've been halted by a man from your own ship, sir," nodded Darrin, on getting close enough to see that the man really was Cantor. "Hullo," was Trent's greeting, as he stepped outside. "On duty, Cantor?" "Not official duty," replied the other lieutenant.
And then Dave heard a voice just inside the door say, in Spanish: "You ought to stop that sniper on the roof. He took two shots at me as I came up the street." "What infernal work is going on here?" Ensign Dave Darrin asked himself, hoarsely. "I how that voice. I'd know it anywhere. That's Cantor speaking, and he's in the house of the enemy!" Crack! spoke a rifle across the street.
"A magnificent prospect ahead of me, if I must depend upon the instructions and the official favor of a bully and a scoundrel like Cantor! And he can make it hot for me, too, if he has a mind to do so! Don't I know how easy that ought to be for him? I shall have, indeed, a lot of pleasure in my service on this ship, with Cantor for my division officer!"
"I told Dalzell, last night, that I had met with a stranger who was " "That will do!" snapped Cantor. "Very good, sir." "Have you told Dalzell about me since coming aboard?" "I have not." "And you won't?" pressed Cantor. "On that point, sir, I decline to pledge myself," Darrin responded, with unusual stiffness. "Darrin, do you want to make an enemy?" "Mr.
Lieutenant Cantor will, as early as possible, turn in a written report of the work of the expedition, and you, Ensign Darrin, will make a written report on your own part in the affair. You will make your report through Lieutenant Cantor, who will hand it to me with his own report. Lieutenant Cantor, in his report, will make such comment on Ensign Darrin's statements as he sees fit.
"And all this, on account of a puppy of a junior who will not use sense and reason at the request of a superior officer!" ground Cantor between his teeth. "I shall pay Darrin for this, and for that greater insult, too." Some minutes before the call to breakfast was due, Darrin and Dalzell appeared from their quarters and walked aft to where a group of the "Long Island's" officers stood.
Glancing around, Dave looked into the face of Lieutenant Cantor. "A while ago I noticed you talking with Trent," Dave's division officer remarked, in a low voice. "Yes, sir." "Did you discuss me?" "Yes, sir." "What did you say, Darrin?" "I mentioned that you were my division officer." "Did Trent say anything?" "Mr. Trent said that you were a very efficient officer."
Lieutenant Cantor came briskly up over the side, halting on the deck and saluting toward the stern, where the colors flew until sundown. "Mr. Darrin, I've come on board," reported the lieutenant, turning in time to catch Dave's salute. He stepped closer, to add: "You will enter a note that I came on board at 10.58."
