I hate to say this, Brace, but it is a little as if Conning had come home to me from an honourable war a bit mutilated. I must try to get used to him and I will! I will!" Kendall held her to him close. "Lyn, I never knew until this moment how much I have to humbly thank God for. Oh! if men only could see ahead, young fellows I mean, they would not come to a woman mutilated.
With his activity and fidelity thus insured, this miserable wretch, who went in Dublin by the name of Philip the Spy, was despatched on his mission, and, in due coarse arriving at Quebec, set about it in his usual cautious and conning manner.
"Well, I'm glad you're back again, chum," added Jack with an affectionate hug. He now hurried back to the conning tower to be within call of his commanders. The Dewey was headed due east; running on the surface, with her boatload of prisoners trailing behind.
We can submerge quickly if we have to, and I don't believe she's able to do that." An observation was taken through the conning tower, however, before the M. N. 1 went all the way up, and there was not a sail nor a smudge of smoke on the horizon. "So far so good," murmured Tom. "Now we'll 'shoot the sun, and after we submerge we'll begin our search in earnest.
The commander was directly below the spot where Jack stood. One of the Germans, Jack noticed, kept a close eye on the approaching Essex and from time to time spoke to the commander in a low tone. "Oh, these English can't shoot," Jack heard the commander say at last. "However, I guess we have delayed long enough. Inside with you, gentlemen." Two of the Germans descended through the conning tower.
"We'll just have to trust to luck," the scientist said. "I judge we're about over the centre of the opening. Lower away Mark!" The boy, who, under the watchful eye of the professor, was manipulating the levers and wheels in the conning tower, shifted some handles.
He was still conning it when the door opened, and Hendy appeared. Mr Pamphlett muttered "Consols," and refolded the newspaper hastily. "Nanjivell is here to see you, sir: at the side door. 'Says he must speak to you in private." "Oh . . . confound Nanjivell! I've had enough of that man. . . . Very well; but tell him I can't spare a moment over five minutes."
The exact effect of this action on the little fellow will be seen in a short time. When the conning tower was out of water, the point showed still ahead of the submarine, and Ned wondered why Jimmie had ordered a halt there. In one way this was an advantage, as the people at the head of the bay, if any were there, would not be able to see what was going on at the spot where the Sea Lion lay.
Each submarine, its long, fish-like shape lying prone in the almost still, transparent water, differed not only in size, but in make, from its fellows, and no two conning towers even were alike. Lying apart, as if sulking in a corner, was an example of the old "Gymnote" type of under-sea boat.
It did not affect his attitude in the very least that, nine days out of every ten, he had to take a spiritual microscope to hunt the good. One of the longest lessons is the learning to pick up the crumbs of comfort, when one has been used to munching the whole loaf. However, Reed was conning the lesson steadily, learning it by slow degrees.
