"This," cried John Rhinds, getting up and pacing the room, while he smoked fast, "is the stage at which the game gets on my nerves!" "Yes," agreed Radwin, though he spoke rather lazily. "It's fine to have only one rival left in the field, but it's discouraging to know that we're number two, and that the other fellow holds number one rank.
Yet the driver was a powerful fellow, his strength making him about a match for the greater agility of the bronzed young skipper. Jack managed to land a blow or two against his big assailant, though without doing much harm. Yet the submarine boy was undismayed and confident, until, out of the corner of one eye, he saw Radwin rising and advancing cautiously to close in.
The Chief of Police, angry at being baffled in his search for Radwin, went away declaring that he would have an order issued for the arrest of Rhinds as an accessory. Radwin did not return. Though looking outwardly composed, John C. Rhinds passed the next few hours in a condition of internal unrest. Why did Chief Ward want to see Fred Radwin?
Hodges, in consideration of furnishing useful state's evidence, was sentenced to the penitentiary for two years and a half for his share in the automobile plot. Radwin, for conspiracy in setting on the roughs, was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary; for his part in the automobile affair five years more were added.
"I thought he had forgotten," laughed Jack. Then all three turned to greet Mr. Radwin. "How's this?" he asked. "Haven't Mr. Rhinds and your friends come out yet?" "They must be talking, yet, with the officers of the naval board," suggested Eph Somers. "They're sure to be out presently," nodded Radwin, after he had walked the submarine boys to the next corner. "At least, Mr.
An attorney acting for the chauffeur that was hurt so badly in the automobile smash-up has already started in to attach that money in a suit for damages by the chauffeur." It is time to turn from too disagreeable a picture. The four roughs first hired by Fred Radwin were sent to the penitentiary for a year each.
"Feeling glum?" asked Radwin, stupidly, as he gazed at his chief. "A fool question that!" snapped the older man. "It is, rather," admitted the younger man. "Radwin, you're an idiot!" "Thank you!" "You told me you had those three Pollard boys taken care of 'canned' was the word you used. Yet, the first thing we saw, when we me out on the harbor, was those same boys, looking their finest.
"I don't see our youngsters about, anywhere," muttered Jacob Farnum. "But their room keys are gone from the clerk's rack, so I guess they've turned in, like sensible fellows." They did not know that Radwin himself had secretly removed the keys in order to create the impression that the boys were in bed. Rhinds and Radwin talked in whispers, behind the locked door of another room.
Farnum and Pollard and all three of the submarine boys were around the big table. Radwin had succeeded in seating himself between Jack and Hal. The dinner had been a fine one. Only one hitch had occurred; that was when Mr. Rhinds, at the beginning of the meal, had tried to order several bottles of wine. "Just a moment, Mr. Rhinds," Farnum broke in. "None of the wine for us, thank you."
At a bound the submarine boy possessed himself of this weapon. He got it, just in time, too, to wheel and face Fred Radwin, threatening that fellow with the heavy butt-end of the driver's recent weapon. "Get up behind the boy, you fool!" hissed Radwin. "Sure, I can't," moaned the fellow, rubbing himself, real anguish sounding in his voice. "My neck's broke!"
