"Captain, you are the third, representing also the third nation, that has just approached us on this matter. We shall serve no other country than our own." "But my government," urged the Japanese officer, "will make you most handsome offer." "Do you remember the day when we were leaving Dunhaven, and you tried to overtake us in a gasoline launch?" asked Jack, with a smile.
“Benson, will you give me your hand?” “Certainly.” “Can you ever forgive me?” moaned the man. “Why, what have you done?” asked Jack. “That assault back in Dunhaven—” “Was it you who knocked me out there?” demanded Benson sharply. “Yes.” In a shaking voice Truax confessed the details of the affair and from that passed to Jack’s trip to the suburbs of Annapolis. “I found the mulatto in a low den.
However, the boys' own money, that had been taken from their pockets, and which was now found in one of Owen's vest pockets, made up the full sum of eight hundred dollars. "You fellers win, and I lose a good time," muttered Dan, mournfully. "But say, now you've got the cash again, set me free before ye start for Dunhaven. Don't leave me tied up like this." "We won't," Jack promised him, grimly.
"How should I know?" demanded Eph, solemnly. "You see your friends, and you see their condition." "Smell their breaths, sir. There isn't a trace of the odor of liquor." The surgeon did so, confirming Eph's claim. "But I remember that Mr. Benson came aboard, at Dunhaven, with a very strong odor of liquor," continued the lieutenant commander.
He had his own plans for this evening plans that boded the submarine boys no good. The three boys strolled easily about town, getting a hot soda or two, and, finally, drifting into a moving picture show that had opened recently in Dunhaven. This place they did not leave until the show was over.
Jack thought, to be sure, of Josh Owen, back there in the woods, but clearly it would be out of place to ask Eph Somers to go back and attend to the ex-foreman. Besides, they could all soon be in Dunhaven, and then a constable or two could be sent out to search.
We in Germany know the rank which you young men have won as submarine experts, and we shall not be niggardly, for we have determined to have you in our service." "I hope you'll pardon me," proposed young Benson. "There is just one point that has been overlooked. You tell me that you are authorized to come to Dunhaven and kidnap my friends and myself.
In "The Submarine Boys on Duty" was told how Jack and Hal came to Dunhaven at just the right moment, as it happened, to edge their way into the employ of Jacob Farnum, the young shipbuilder, who was then engaged in the construction of the first of those famous submarine torpedo craft. The first boat was named the "Pollard," after David Pollard, the inventor of the craft and of its successors.
Farnum, Jack and Hal remained on the platform deck, watching the approach of the naval vessel, which was now plainly making for Dunhaven. Suddenly, a broad beam of glaring white light shot over the water, resting across the deck of the "Farnum." "I guess that fellow knows what he wants to know, now," muttered Benson, blinking alter the strong glare had passed.
In brief, when the "Pollard" lay on the bottom of the little harbor at Dunhaven, the young captain had crawled into the long tube through which torpedoes were to be discharged in war time. One end of this torpedo tube projects slightly into the water, at the bow of the submarine boat. The other end of the tube is well inside the craft.
