"Ship on the starboard bow, sir," sang the lookout forward. A moment later the officers on the bridge sighted the vessel through their glasses. "By George! She seems to be standing still," said Frank. "So she does," Lieutenant Hetherton agreed, "Wonder what's the matter?" "We'll find out fast enough," returned Jack quietly. "Take the bridge, Mr. Chadwick," said Jack.
"Never mind," said Frank, "remove the others, Mr. Hetherton. We'll attend to the men inside later." From the window of the cabin there came a sharp crack. A bullet zipped by Frank's ear, but the lad did not flinch. He moved his position and saw the German prisoners marched to the rear. "Now," he said, "we'll have to get those fellows inside. First, however, we'll give them a chance."
Mark's on Christmas morning heard the music of the bells as the Hetherton sleigh passed by, but none of them knew whither it was bound, or the scene which awaited the rector, when, his services over, he started towards home. Lucy had kept her word, and, just as Mrs.
"We're wasting too much time here," Frank told himself. He looked across to where Lieutenant Hetherton and his men were also blazing away at the foe. "Forward men!" cried Frank suddenly. "Charge!" The British tars under Frank's command went forward with a wild yell.
That's no way to talk," declared Frank. "Hetherton can stick on the job here." "Well, I guess it will be all right," said Jack. "We may as well pack what belongings we shall need. We shouldn't be gone more than a day or two." "I hope so, and I feel sure we shall. There has been no sign yet of enemy activities in this water." "And there won't be any sign in advance.
"Not quarreled as Uncle and Aunt Hetherton and lots of people do, but differed so seriously that I cried, and had to give up, too," she said. "I wanted you for bridesmaid, and, do you think, he objected!
"They won't hurt him, will they?" asked the boy, pointing after his father. "They will not," said Frank. "Only keep him safe until the trouble is over." "All right. Then, I'll help you the best I can, sir." "That's the way to talk, my boy. Now let me look around a bit." Lieutenant Hetherton and young Cutlip accompanied Frank on his tour of inspection.
I have only known you since Sunday, but you seem like an old friend; and so, you won't mind me telling you that ever since I first met Arthur among the Alps I have lived in a kind of ideal world of which he was the center. I am an orphan, you know, and an heiress, too. There is half a million, they say; and Uncle Hetherton has charge of it.
"Maybe it is," Frank agreed, "but I just wanted to find out." "Well, I wouldn't do it in front of any of the other officers or the men," said Jack. "It's bad for the ship's discipline. However, I'll tell you, I just wanted to have things ready, that's all. Come, we'll go on deck." They ascended to the bridge. Jack addressed Lieutenant Hetherton.
"Come and have a drink, Hetherton, before going on," he said; "it'll do you good." "No, thank you, sir," replied Hetherton, and this time he saluted with body as erect and arm as taut as if on parade. In another second he had vanished. There was tense silence as the colonel seized the telephone. "Put me through to B Battery," he said.
