The other midshipmen began to look and to feel strange. "Then are we moored for good at the bottom of the bay?" asked Jetson. "No; for we carry plenty of duplicate parts for this plate," replied Ensign Hal. "Come into the engine room and I will show you how I fit the duplicate part on." Hal led the midshipmen, halting before a small work bench. He threw open a drawer under the bench.
There has never been any question here about his honor," Darrin replied. "I accepted his denial of intention at the time, and I still accept it." "It's queer, then, how Jetson came to give you such a nasty trip," observed another caller. "I'll tell you what I think really must have happened," Dave continued frankly. "I think Jet was crazy to stop me.
"If he didn't, then the fellow is too clumsy to be trusted on the gridiron, anyway." "We must chase Jetson away from the squad." "Silence!" remarked Head Coach Havens, very simply, though in a tone which meant that obedience must follow. Jetson, however, was not ignorant of the comments that were passing. His dark face flushed hotly with anger.
"It was marvelous," replied Midshipman Farley promptly. "I would like to ask a question, sir, if I may," put in Midshipman Jetson. "Go ahead, sir." "Were submarines ever handled anywhere near as neatly before you three gentlemen began your work with the Pollard Company?" "We didn't handle them as easily, at all events," replied Jack with a smile.
"Oh, in a lot of ways Jetson is a nice fellow," Darrin replied quietly. "The greatest trouble that ails him is that he has just a trifle too large opinion of the importance of his own opinions. There are a lot of us troubled in that way." The kicking practice was put through with dash and vim.
These wanted to see Jetson, and all others who might similarly offend the brigade, forced to quit the Naval service. "Question! question!" called a score of voices at once. "Any further remarks?" inquired the class president, glancing about. "Mr. President!" "Mr. Jerould." "Mr. President," said Midshipman Jerould, "I am certain that we all appreciate the remarks of Mr. Darrin.
Jetson's retraction or apology could be made any more explicit. I trust to see Mr. Farley's motion, seconded by Mr. Jetson has been restored to the fullest measure of class and brigade fellowship." "Any further remarks?" questioned the class president, when Darrin had seated himself. "If not, I will state the motion."
President!" "Mr. "Mr. President, I desire to second the motion, and this I do as regretfully as it was moved." "Oh, go ahead and send me to Coventry, then!" Jetson blazed forth angrily. "This class appears to have been hypnotized by Darrin. But, even if you do send me to Coventry, we shall see whether your action will be potent enough to drive me from the Naval Academy!"
"From one or two things that I couldn't help overhearing, I judge that Belle is greatly worried over the possibility of trouble arising from the Jetson affair," remarked Dan on the way back to the Naval Academy and quarters. "Yes," Dave admitted. "Pooh! How can any trouble come to you out of the matter?
A few "nays" succeeded the great chorus of "ayes," and the motion of Coventry for Jetson was declared tabled. "Any further action?" demanded the chair. "Move we adjourn!" called Farley. The motion was put and carried without dissent Then, amid the greatest jollity, the meeting was declared adjourned.
