Upon the top was a little hatch in which the man was standing, like a jack in the box, and now he went down an iron ladder with Tom after him. "You off der Montauk, huh?" he said. "Yes, sir," said Tom, "I fell off." "Vell, you haf' good loock."
Captain Ducie had been struck with the gentlemanlike appearance of both the Effinghams, to say nothing of Eve, the instant his foot touched the deck of the Montauk, and he now turned with a manner of reproach to John Effingham, and said, "Surely, sir, you cannot sustain Mr. Truck in his extraordinary conduct!" "You will pardon me if I say I do.
Paul did not answer, but laying down the glass, he paced the deck rapidly with the manner of one much disturbed. All observed this sudden change, though no one presumed to comment on it. In the mean time the sloop-of-war came up fast, and in a few minutes her larboard fore-yard-arm was within twenty feet of the starboard main-yard-arm of the Montauk, the two vessels running on parallel lines.
This great event and those immediately preceding it are so fresh in the public mind that I will make but a brief reference to them here. On April 4, 1915, we were successful in transmitting speech without the use of wires from our radio station at Montauk Point on Long Island to Wilmington, Delaware.

At sunrise the next day he was fifty miles to the southward and eastward of Montauk; the schooner was going into New London, her officers and people quite chop-fallen; and the steamer was paddling up the Sound, her captain being fully persuaded that the runaways had returned in the direction from which they had come, and might yet be picked up in that quarter.
