Rick looked around and oriented himself by the position of the Water Witch, then led the way with Scotty, Steve, and Jimmy swimming along with him while the Navy frogmen stayed closed behind. It was a thrill for Rick to be swimming with the famous UDT frogmen. He looked to the side and saw that Steve was perfectly at home in the water, and he marveled at the adaptability of the JANIG agent.
"I yoost come in fun mine paykery undt comin' into mine howse, fen I see someting" he waved his hand downward again "someting layin' on te floor face pleck ans a nigger's; undt fen I look to see who udt iss, udt is Mississ Reisen!

I pought teh pettent tiss mawning fun a yendleman in Garontelet shtreedt, alretty, naympt Kknox." "And what have I to do with all this?" asked the Doctor, consulting his watch, as he had already done twice before.

"Dtere udt iss, Toctor; I put udt town on teh schlate; ovver, I hope you ugscooce te hayndtwriding." "Very well. That's right. That's all." The German lingered. The Doctor gave a bow of dismission. "That's all, I say.

The events of the night before had culminated in two phone calls, one by the hotel manager to the police, the other by Rick to Steve Ames. However, the duty officer at the UDT base had replied that Ames was not available. Rick had then asked for intelligence, and his query had gotten fast results.

Old cutlasses, cannon, cannon balls things like that." "It's a deal." The UDT lieutenant chuckled. "I'll try a little souvenir hunting myself. Of course, since it's unofficial, I'll have to ask for volunteers." "Think you'll get many?" Rick asked anxiously. Steve and Jimmy laughed.
Richlun; teh next time I see um I make um aysk you. Vell, now, titn't I tunned udt?" He was happy. "Well, ask him," said the Doctor, and got away.
