"What's wrong between you and Monsieur Secor?" asked Joe. "I mean, aside from his having run into you, which he claims was an accident?" "Well, maybe it was an accident, and maybe it wasn't," said Charles. "But that isn't all. I know you, Mac. What else do you mean?" demanded Blake, as Joe began to set up the camera in the new location.
"I feel, as you do, Joe, that it's up to us to do all we can to get back those films. I'm only trying to think out the best plan for getting them." "Go right down there and make that traitor Secor, and that submarine Dutchman, give 'em back!" cried Charlie. "Yes, and perhaps make such a row that there'll be a general engagement," said Blake.
What was said Blake and his chums could not, of course, hear, nor could they have understood had they heard. A little later, however, they were ordered to march on, and then were shown into an underground room, none too clean and quite dark, and the door was banged shut on them. Just before this they had seen Secor and Labenstein go off in another direction, still carrying the boxes of films.
"This is the end of Labenstein!" And even as he spoke the man fell back dead. Lieutenant Secor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as though the death of the other had brought a great release to him. "Now I can speak," said the officer. "Now I can explain, and perhaps you will again regard me as a friend," he said softly.
"I suppose Secor and Labenstein are somewhere, plotting to do their worst," went on Blake. "Having gone as far as they did, they wouldn't give up easily, I imagine. I can understand Labenstein's acting as he did, but that Secor, a Frenchman, if he really is one, should plot to injure his own country that gets me!" "Same here! I wonder if we'll ever see him again either of them, for that matter."
And then followed anxious days, not that there was any particular danger as yet from hostile craft, but every one anticipated there would be, and there was a grim earnestness about the lifeboat drills. "I have been through it all before when I came over," said Lieutenant Secor to the boys; "but it has not lost its terrible charm. It is a part of this great war!"
Secor says, in his opening paragraph, "The present system of giving credit towards graduation in use in the secondary school, takes account mainly of the amount of work done.... The student who barely passes his work gets just the same amount of credit towards graduation as the one who passes high in the nineties.
Secor from reading it. All that he said of its successful working was: "We ... thus far can truthfully say it is working itself out in desirable results in more and better work than under the old plan." From these data, given when they were, Mr.
I mean we aren't fighting you Germans though we might if we had the chance. We're just taking pictures, and these fellows have stolen our films," and he indicated Secor and Labenstein. The latter made some reply in German to the captain which the boys could not understand. "Give us back our films and let us go!" demanded Macaroni. "We only came to get them!"
"Pardon me for disturbing you," began Lieutenant Secor, "but I have just come down from on deck. They are having a special lifeboat drill, and I thought perhaps you might like to get some views of it. Also, I have a favor to ask of you." "Come in," said Blake, as he opened the door wider. At the same time he noticed that the door of the stateroom across the corridor was shut.
