So he was still behind his private doors when a summons reached him to go to the wharf and take the launch to the "Oakland." "What can it mean, John?" demanded his wife. "If they want you as a witness before the investigation, you'll be able to clear yourself quickly." predicted Helen. "I'll soon find out why I'm wanted," declared Rhinds, jauntily.
It begins to look, as far as indications can point, as though the Secretary of the Navy has some idea of ordering some Pollard boats for the Navy, and also some Rhinds boats." "I wonder if the Secretary of the Navy has heard anything about the nasty way in which the Rhinds outfit tried to sink us at sea day before yesterday?" muttered Captain Jack, half savagely.
John C. Rhinds, standing at the rail of his own craft, with what was intended to be a smile his face, waved his hat wildly at Jacob Farnum. "Good luck to you, Farnum and to us!" bellowed Rhinds. "Of course, I'd like to win today, but if you've the better boat, go ahead and leave us at the finish. May the best craft win, no hard feelings!
Benson I very much incline to the belief that you can go on beating any one of the three Rhinds submarines with either of the pair that you have here. But the point is that the national government may prefer to have two types of boats.
Simms must have moved rapidly, for, two hours later that morning, after having seen many people, including the admiral, the Congressman sent a message upstairs urging Rhinds to come down at once.
"And I guess," muttered the submarine boy to himself, "that that's about as near as a fellow can go to giving a tip, once he has had the Navy muzzle padlocked to his jaws." Some of the submarines in this long race for such it was were better equipped as to the number of the crew. The Rhinds had this advantage, carrying a captain and four men, in addition to Rhinds himself and his secretary.
These two villains were just sipping from their last cups of coffee when, even in the dining room, there reached their ears the muffled sound of gunfire from the bay. "What's that?" demanded Radwin. "I want to hear the rest of that!" He hurried through the dining room to the front of the lobby. "There it goes," he cried, as Rhinds, puffing somewhat, joined him.
Rhinds, "You'll feel so much better, gentlemen, when you find your crew all right. I'll feel better, too, for I wouldn't want to beat you unfairly to-day." Grant Andrews and two of his workmen stood on the platform deck of the "Benson," leaning against the conning tower, when the shore boat came within hail. "I am afraid to call out to Grant, and ask him," faltered the shipbuilder.
Rhinds fought for himself as hard as he could, for he was beginning to suspect that a mere matter of politics would not move the Congressman much in this case. "Now, I'll leave you for a while, Rhinds, and I'll move fast," promised the Congressman, rising. "But I advise you to stay right here. I may want to see you at any moment." Mr.
"It would be hard to catch you youngsters unprepared," laughed the shipbuilder, appreciatively. They were still on deck, waiting and wondering, when they saw the president and secretary of the Rhinds company put off from shore in haste. "They don't mean to be left," sneered Eph. "They're pretty badly left already," muttered Captain Jack, bitterly.
