A number of Naval Reserves would be put aboard this new huge ship; and the Seacove boys, with their experience in the training school at Saugarack and aboard the Colodia, surely would be of some use as temporary members of the dreadnaught's crew. The boys had written Mr. Minnette about Seven Knott, for he was eager to get back into harness, too.
'You must walk to Seacove to-morrow and see it for yourselves, he said. 'That is to say if it is fine, said Mrs. Vane. 'Doesn't it look stormy to-night? 'The wind is getting up, but that one must expect at this time of the year, and a good blow now and then won't hurt the girls. I feel ever so much the better for the touch of it we had this afternoon. I'm certain it is a very healthy place.
A kind of natural breakwater ran out in a straight line to the lighthouse, so that in low tides and the tides are sometimes very low at Seacove it was difficult to believe but that you could get on foot all the way to the lighthouse rock. But all these interesting particulars were not as yet known to Mr. Vane's children. They had arrived at Seacove Rectory only the night before.
And once I went to Nelly Tasker's, and that was nice, but they've left Seacove a long time ago. Mrs. Fairchild looked at Celestina in some surprise. It was seldom the little girl was so communicative, especially to strangers. But then, as she said to her husband afterwards 'Miss Vane is a very sweet girl, and the little one chatters as if she'd known you for years.
The steamer mounted a gun forward and one aft. To the delight of Phil and Al, the ensign chose them as members of the gun crews. Immediately Frenchy and Ikey clamored to be taken, too. Ensign MacMasters without doubt displayed favoritism at this time. He acquiesced in the desires of the two younger boys from Seacove.
'Of course I didn't like it as much as this, for this garden is so sweet and the country all about here is so beautiful, and then it's so nice to be near grandmamma. But Seacove had a great charm about it too. 'The sea, said Biddy 'the sea and the sunsets, she went on half dreamily; 'I always think when I see a red sunset but then she stopped.
There was a quantity of small shipping in the place, and Ensign MacMasters did not want to take any chances of collision. So he hailed a fishing smack and put the four friends from Seacove aboard of her. "Good-bye, boys!" he said, as they went over the side into the smack. "We shall meet in a few days. You will get your notice by telegraph when to join the Kennebunk, and where.
The two younger Seacove boys, who had come so near committing a huge piece of folly by their small practical joke, slipped down to the lower deck again to recover Frenchy's knife.
"Accuse him of being in disguise because he wears that beard?" and he chuckled. But to Whistler Morgan's mind it was no laughing matter. He was silent all the way to Seacove. Torry suggested that they stay on the train to Elmvale and see if Blake got off at that station. "No," his friend said decidedly, "we can't do that. Our folks will be worried about us if we don't report soon.
"It's pretty sure if she explodes we'll never join the Kennebunk's crew," was his chum's grim answer. The four friends from Seacove were not the only members of the ship's company that saw the depth bomb break loose from its fastenings. The second in command of the submarine chaser, Ensign Filson, and two seamen on lookout were on duty aft. "Stop that thing!" shouted the ensign.
