Indeed, I shall not have the lettering on the 'Luzon's' side painted out until other officers of the fleet have been able to examine such a striking proof of the value of submarines. Yet I am extremely sorry for the feelings of Mr. McCrea this morning." In truth, Lieutenant McCrea was in for a most unmerciful tormenting by his brother officers.
"Stop," he called down. Just ahead, about sixty feet, lay the seaward side of the battleship "Luzon's" great gray hull. With his hand on the electric speed control Captain Jack moved the submarine in until she lay alongside the big battleship. With the greatest stealth the manhole cover was raised by Hal and Eph.
"Send a boat over to the 'Pollard' to ask the people there if they have any explanation to offer." When the "Luzon's" launch came alongside, Mr. Farnum, expecting the visit, assured the ensign in charge that he would go to the battle ship at once to explain matters. Mr. Farnum did go. Captain Bigelow listened with an intensely grave face.
Each was emphatic in the belief that the thing did not happen during his watch. Lieutenant McCrea was one of the most positive. "But, Mr. McCrea," urged the "Luzon's" executive officer, "the time, '11.33 P.M., has been lettered on the ship's side with great distinctness." Still, that lieutenant was positive that the outrage hadn't been perpetrated during his deck watch.
He had kept much too vigilant a watch for that. While the questioning of the watch officers was going on the "Luzon's" captain appeared. He quizzed Mr. McCrea unmercifully, and that officer of the early night watch began to look and feel most uncomfortable. "There's but one thing to be done, first of all," stated the "Luzon's" commander, Captain Bigelow.
