Then he stated that Captain Gales wished it understood that the finding of the telltale envelope under Ensign Darrin's mattress was the only circumstance against that officer, and that, in the captain's opinion, it was wholly likely that some one else had placed the envelope there with the intention of arousing suspicion against the officer named.
Darrin, somewhat, sir, in the scrimmage when the bunch went down." There was really nothing that could be proved, in any case, so the head coach could only say very quietly: "Let the practice go on, Mr. Hepson. Put Mr. Wardell temporarily in Mr. Darrin's place on the line." There was one in the group who had not said a word so far. But he had been looking on, his keen eyes studying Jetson's face.
They're gathering the men in fast, now." Two sailboats were now engaged in the work of rescue, and a third was heading for Mr. Salisbury and his engineer. "Give Mr. "He has gone close to being drowned." Hardly had he spoken the words when Darrin's own eyes closed. The strain had been too much for him. Mr. Salisbury and his engineer were also taken back by steam power.
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.
This last was uttered just as Midshipman Pennington stepped into line at the supper formation. "I wish I could see Darrin's face now!" Pen repeated to himself. Seldom has a wish been more quickly gratified. For, just in the nick of time to avoid being reported, Midshipmen Darrin, Dalzell and Farley came into sight, falling into their respective places.
In this formation they advanced toward their tormentors. There might have been an ugly clash, but one of the eight shouted: "Come on, fellows! Don't tease the babies.

Greg Holmes went under water, his head striking a stone violently enough to bring a splash of blood to his forehead. Dave Darrin's head struck against the side of the car, bringing a cry of pain from him. Yet, though he was dizzy from the concussion, Darry displayed the coolest head of any of them in the first few moments. "Where's Dick?" he called, when he saw the others accounted for.
Suddenly Dave swung his right in on the point of Pen's chin with a force that jolted the larger midshipman. As part of the same movement, Darrin's left crashed against Pennington's nose. Then, out of chivalry, Dave dropped back, to give Pen a few moments, in case he needed them, to get his wits back. "Time!" roared Dawley, and Pennington's seconds pounced upon him and bore him away to his corner.
"As a matter of vital fact, Mr. Farley," interrupted the commandant of midshipmen, "did you at any time relax such vigilance, even for a few seconds?" "Not even for a few seconds, sir." "After the inspection that Mr. Darrin's room?" "Mr. Henkel! "Was he Alone?" "Yes, sir." "I did, sir." "And yourself?" "Without allowing my glance to turn from Mr.
