The trial was a swift, nearly secret one. Daisy Huston was not dragged into the case at all. In one respect the trial failed. Neither culprit could be forced to tell for which foreign government the dastardly work had been attempted. The "Spitfire" returned to Dunhaven, and was later sold to the government, with several other boats. Williamson became the new Pollard captain.
As if to celebrate the return of the splendid boat, Dunhaven, in the persons of two of her constables, captured Josh Owen that same night when he tried to return by stealth to his home. Yet the constables did not get their man handcuffed before that same elfin ten-year-old son of Owen's had tried desperately to fight the officers into letting his father go.
Rhinds, tears filling her eyes fast, as she turned to regard the Dunhaven shipbuilder. It was the hardest hour Jacob Farnum had ever spent, and the same was true for Jack Benson. This wife and daughter had the most absolute faith in the goodness of John Rhinds. They pleaded gently, eloquently, for these two enemies to have faith in their husband and father. "You surely don't believe that Mr.
"Owen probably can't hang around Dunhaven very long, anyway," continued the owner of the yard. "I don't believe he has very much saved. Of course, he can't get any work in his line in Dunhaven, now that this yard is closed to him. So look out for a day or two, and, after that, I guess he'll be gone."
Dunhaven ain't an awful homely town, as ye'll see after you've walked about a bit." "But is there any business here?" insisted Hal Hastings, patiently. "I guess maybe you're business photografters, then?" suggested the hotel keeper. "What kinds of business are there here?" asked Jack.
He had pretended to be mighty hard up, too, and wanted work at any sort of wages." Jack's face began to glow as he remembered more and more of the brief career of Millard at Dunhaven. "And Dave Pollard, when he was over in Washington later, said he ran across Millard living at the swell Arlington Hotel! Millard had a different name in Washington, and refused to recognize Mr.
"Money!" gasped Josh Owen, in evil delight. "Look at the piles of it! Hurry with your younker, Dan. Maybe ye'll have the same luck." Almost in a twinkling, it seemed to the groaning captives, the rascally pair had the whole sum of eight hundred dollars in their greedy hands. Now, what would going back to Dunhaven be like for these two hapless submarine boys?
With a reluctant grace, while still pinned down to the ground, Dan Jaggers surrendered his half of the stolen money. "Now, ye can git up, and go do what's laid out to be done," announced Josh Owen, peeling a five-dollar bill from the roll and handing it to his nephew. "First, get the horse headed right, then go on into town and get the liquor. But don't ye stop to drink in Dunhaven, Danny.
I don't understand Mr. Benson's conduct. I remember his mishap at Dunhaven. I remember the plight he got into at Annapolis; and now he and Mr. Hastings are found in this questionable shape. I am very much afraid these young men do not conduct themselves, on shore, in the careful manner that must be expected of civilian instructors to cadets." Eph somers felt something boiling up inside of him.
"Hey, there, Mister!" called out Jabez Holt, from one of the two office windows in the little hotel at Dunhaven. As there was only one other man in the office, that other man guessed that he might be the one addressed. With a slight German accent the stranger, who was well-dressed, and looked like a prosperous as well as an educated man, turned and demanded: "You are calling me?"
