The Seawold boat, third in line, was half a mile behind the "Benson," and the Blackson boat, last of all, was two miles behind the Pollard boat's stern. But Jack and his friends had long ago ceased to feel any interest in the tail-enders. The race was to be over at five o'clock.
Grant Andrews and his men mounted guard over the two Pollard boats through the night, which left the captain and crew free to sleep which they did with a royal good will. No orders came over from the naval board, which fact made it look as though no new tests would be required immediately. The next forenoon, at about ten o'clock, Eph discovered that the Seawold boat was leaving her moorings.
We shall be in competition with five other types of submarine boats the Rhinds, the Seawold, the Griffith, and the Blackson and Day. We shall have to meet and I hope, vanquish all the recognized types of submarine boats made in the United States." "And we will beat them, too!" glowed Jack Benson, his eyes flashing and his fists clenching. "By the way, Jack," continued Mr.
Grant Andrews and two of his men came on board, to stand guard over the little sea-terror. It was after one in the morning when the Seawold craft strayed into port. A little later came the "Chelsea" and the remaining submarine rivals, for the gunboat had stood by the slower ones in case aid of any sort was needed.
Young Somers watched that lesser rival start down the bay before he dropped below to report the fact to Benson. "What can it mean?" wondered the young captain, going hastily on deck. "Is the Seawold craft going into some test that we're not asked to meet?" "If so," ventured Hal Hastings, "why isn't one of the gunboats putting out to sea with her."
"There are to be no tests to-day," replied Danvers. "Then what's that craft of the Seawold Company doing down the bay by herself?" Benson inquired. "By Jove, she's going to have company, too," declared Eph. "There goes the Blackson boat out." "And, probably, you'll soon see the Griffith and Day craft get under way," smiled Lieutenant Danvers. "What does it mean?" insisted Captain Jack.
