"It is only too true," muttered Lord Hastings sorrowfully.
It was just exactly three minutes to twelve when Lord Hastings, having taken his bearings and found he was in the designated spot, gave the command to come to the surface. Slowly the U-16 arose from the deep, and immediately she rested upon the surface, Jack and Frank followed Lord Hastings to the bridge.
As the three officers aboard the U-16 knew, British battleships and vessels of war of all descriptions had been stationed all along the Thames, many of them patrolling the very mouth of the river. But now, as Lord Hastings, Jack and Frank stood upon the bridge of the little submarine after it had entered the mouth of Thames, there was not a vessel of any kind to be seen in the darkness.
Aboard the U-16 none knew what had occurred save the three upon the bridge Lord Hastings, Frank and Jack. Below, all stood to their posts, awaiting they knew not what. Jack descended. "All right, men," he said, "you may turn in, if you wish. There'll be no fighting to-night."
