Again The Hawk careened desperately in response to the quick turn of the helm; but it was well that Lord Hastings had acted upon the instant; for even as Frank had fired there was another heavy "boom" and a heavy shell passed the spot where The Hawk had been a moment before. But with the sound of the shot, the glare of the enemy's searchlight vanished. Frank's aim had been true.
There had been a good deal of "sniping" that, while it only caused occasional losses, was a source of harassment and irritation, and Frank's squad had orders to "get" as many of these sharpshooters as possible. A little way from the camp there was a deep gorge. Along its top were many huge trees whose branches reached far out over the precipice.
I can safely speak for my chums as well as myself." This last was really meant for impulsive Jerry, just to notify him that under no conditions must he dream of making Frank's promise void. "Then see to it that you keep away from here," said Mr. Dennison, as unyielding as ever. "Even now you are camping on my property, and I could order you away if I chose to be harsh.

"Shut up!" exclaimed Little Paul, his cheek glowing with indignation, as he pulled Charles back into his seat. "I went to save life, father," replied Frank, almost choked by his emotions, a flood of tears springing in his eyes and well-nigh blinding him.

"I'm afraid you can't make that work again," laughed Jack. "Ned says that you sent only four postal cards and six letters back from Panama."
Upon this, I interposed: 'Pray, ma'am, don't imagine that you have anything but sympathy from me. but as I was protesting, having my mouth open, the terrible Miss Alice dragged the laughter remorselessly out of me.

He never did me a mean turn." "Och! an' he nivver did anybody thot!" quickly put in Barney. "It wur ivver a good turn, av it wur anything at all, at all." And so, talking of Frank's virtues, the boys approached the camp. It was decided among them that Hodge should report the affair to Lieutenant Gordan, and they should all get into camp without being challenged, if possible.
