"But I'm younger than you by almost twenty years, sir," protested the first officer. "Oh, no you're not," laughed the commander of the Ventura, "you just think you are. I've grown twenty years younger this day."
"Bring on the gas, Captain," said Jack quietly. Captain Griswold hustled back to his boat with the agility of a small school boy. "Back to the ship," he roared to the sailors who rowed him. He mounted the ladder swiftly and summoned his first officer. "Helgoson," he said, "those Britishers have gone and almost captured that submarine. It's up to us to help 'em complete the job."
"How about ourselves? Won't the gas affect us as well as the Germans?" Captain Griswold clapped a hand to his side. "Now what do you think of that?" he demanded. "I must be getting old before my time. Here, Lands," he called one of his own men, who approached. "Go and tell Helgoson I want two dozen of those gas masks in the store room; and hustle." The sailor hurried away.
