All of the naval officers present showed, in their faces, the horror they felt over the situation. "It does not seem to me," declared Captain Magowan, glancing around at his associates, "that there can be any doubt as to our course. The evidence, though wholly circumstantial, is about as strong as it could be." "Besides which, sir," advanced Mr.
"Better keep off'n the leetle hawse, Ratty!" one fellow was advising the unseen individual who was partly, at least, furnishing the entertainment for the loiterers. "She looks meek," put in another, "but believe me! when she was broke, it was the best day's work Joe Magowan ever done on this here ranch. Ain't that so, boys?" "Ratty warn't here then," said the first speaker.
While they were below Jack had caught a glimpse of Radwin in the "Thor's" engine room. When the naval board and the others reached the deck Captain Magowan had Captain Driggs, of the "Thor," and the members of the boat's crew lined up together. "Have you any questions that you wish to ask, Mr. Benson?" the president of the board inquired. "Yes, sir.
"Come, young Benson," challenged John Rhinds, "even you must admit that the 'Thor' shows a clean bill of moral health!" "I'll admit that two and two make five, and that the moon is made of sage cheese," retorted Captain Jack. "I'll admit that the north pole is steam-heated. But " "Well, Mr. Benson," broke in Captain Magowan, crisply. "Why do you hesitate?"
"What's he doing with my pony?" The cry startled the string of punchers. They turned most of them looking sheepish enough and gaped, wordlessly, at Frances, who came running to the fence. Molly was her pet, her own especial property. Nobody else had ridden the pinto since she was broken by the head wrangler, Joe Magowan. Nor was Molly really broken, in the ordinary acceptation of the term.
This morning Captain Magowan, as president of the board, received a telegram from the Navy Department to the effect that four of the submarine types had been outclassed. The contest now lies between the Rhinds and the Pollard boats." "We've beaten the Rhinds boats, too," muttered Jack.
But d n the scoundrel, he is not worth the conversation we had about him. Father Magowan, in consequence of whose note to me I wrote to ask you here, states in the communication I had from him, that the parties will be here about twelve o'clock Burke himself, he thinks, and M'Mahon along with the rest.
In the meantime, Danvers and Jack, on reaching the gunboat, went at once before a council composed of the naval board and the commander of the gunboat. The two witnesses told their story speedily and clearly. "Can you swear that the torpedo was fired from the 'Thor, Lieutenant?" inquired Captain Magowan, president of the naval board.
"Her father, I say, on hearing these circumstances, naturally indignant at Hycy Burke for his attempts to corrupt the principles of his daughter, brought the latter with him to Father Magowan, in whose presence she stated all she knew; adding, that she had secured Bat Hogan's hat and shoes, which, in his hurry, he had forgotten on the night of the robbery.
The gunboat, 'Chelsea' will start the fleet, and the 'Oakland' will go along with the racers." "That's short time for us," muttered Mr. Farnum, uneasily. "Luckily, sir, we're ready, at a single moment's notice," interposed Captain Jack Benson. "As soon as we get through," proposed Mr. Rhinds, easily, "I'll take you over and present you to Captain Magowan and his associates on the board."
