Code remembered that Nat and his father had always been inseparable companions, and that it was due to this father more than any one else that the boy had been spoiled and indulged in every way. Michael Burns had risen to a position of considerable power in the humble life of the island. From a successful trawler he had become a successful fish-packer and shipper.
Did Gage know more about these mysterious happenings than appeared? Why had he so persistently sought her? Had Norma instinctively fled from his attentions? "Where are the others?" asked Craig, quickly. I turned to Everson. I had not yet had time to find out. "Gone back to the trawler," he replied. "Signal them to come aboard here directly," ordered Craig.
The trawler was sent to the bottom. The U-20 still kept up her raiding. On the 5th of April, 1915, she overtook the steamer Northland, a 2,000-ton ship, and torpedoed her off Beachy Head. The crew of the steamer were able to escape, although their ship went down only ten minutes after the submarine caught up with it.
'Can't even do much running, said Ken. 'Twelve knots is about our top speed. 'Pon my soul, these chaps have got pluck. 'The "Swan's" drawing ahead, said Roy. Almost as the words left his lips there came a shattering crash and a sheet of flame leapt up from the other trawler.
I never saw anything like it. 'That repartee wouldn't have done with a Dutchman or a Torbay trawler, said Stukely Culbrett. 'But let us hear more. 'Is it fair? Miss Halkett murmured anxiously to Mrs. Lespel, who returned a flitting shrug. 'Charming women follow Beauchamp, you know, Palmet proceeded, as he conceived, to confirm and heighten the tale of success.
What did the treachery of one member of the expedition mean? Above all, who was it? We had been so intent watching from the deck the all too slow approach of the little power-boat from the trawler that we had paid no attention to what was on our other quarter. "A tug approaching, sir," reported the man on watch to Everson. "Seems to be heading for us, sir." We turned to look.
A little later, however, another trawler observed the wash of a submarine crossing her stern about two hundred yards away. The trawler star-boarded, got into the wake of the submarine and tried to ram her at full speed. She failed to do this, as the U-boat was at too great a depth. The enemy disappeared, and again the trawlers gathered and "starred."
Lessingham for a time," she began, "I feel very reluctant to ask for explanations of anything you do, but I must confess to a certain curiosity as to why I should find you lunching at the Canton with two very beautiful ladies, a few days ago, when you left here with Jimmy Dumble to fish for whiting; and also why you return here on a trawler which belongs to another part of the coast?"
Then, just at the entrance, as the yacht was creeping out, the trawler hit her amidships, and fairly cut her in two. The three men were in the water in an instant, and were swept away in the eddy behind the north pier; and before any boat could put out to them they had all gone under. Jezzard's body came up on the beach just as I was coming away."
Many I may say, hundreds rare and new shells are found in this way, and in no other. But if you cannot afford the expense of your own dredge and boat, and the time and trouble necessary to follow the occupation scientifically, yet every trawler and oyster-boat will afford you a tolerable satisfaction.
