With an almost mathematical certainty the men in the undersea service could reckon the years of their lives on the fingers of one hand.
"The craft we raised going into the Roads!" ejaculated the warrant officer. "It's her, for a penny!" "No argument," growled Ensign MacMasters. "We fell down that time. Although we might have had our hands full if we had tackled her with our two small guns." It seemed that the disguised undersea boat mounted four guns on her deck, but she was a slow sailer.
After lunch Tom flew to Fearing Island with Bud, eager to tackle their interrupted job of rooting the space plants into the undersea silt beds. Zimby Cox, a sandy-haired, freckle-faced jetmariner, volunteered to pilot a motor launch for them. They sped across the water, then dropped anchor at the farm site.
Well, in any event, the Holland, and improved undersea craft subsequently developed, converted the seemingly impossible into the actual. To an Englishman, William Bourne, a seaman-gunner must be credited the first concrete exposition of the possibilities of an undersea fighter.
The waters were smooth, with a long swell, and the lookout had seen a scant eighteen inches of periscope, which had vanished immediately it fell under his vision. Undoubtedly the observer at the other end of the submarine's periscope had seen the Fanning at about the same time the presence of the undersea craft was detected. It had appeared about 400 yards from the destroyer's course.
Swift said, after hearing how the attacker had defied detection. "You'd better inform Admiral Walter. He had to fly back to Washington." "I'll call him right away," Tom promised. The admiral was equally disturbed when Tom succeeded in reaching him. "We must find that missile as soon as possible at any cost," he said. "Tom, you Swifts have had considerable experience in undersea dredging.
He remembered well that first undersea dive back home in an American port when he and Jack had discussed the possibilities of ever being lost on the bottom of the sea with the ship's air supply cut off. Now he was face to face with that very situation. The thought chilled his blood and he found it very hard to be brave under the circumstances.
Her departure, heavy-laden, from this South American port was properly recorded in the then secret annals of a great nation; the world at large, however, was none the wiser. For those were the days when sly undersea monsters of German descent were prowling about the oceans, taking toll of humanity and breeding the curse that was to abide with their progenitors forever.
But I think it was not that with Basurdo. I think it was underground, not undersea." He brushed his neck with his finger tips. "Is it dangerous for foreigners?" asked Carroll quickly. "For every one," answered Sherwen; adding significantly: "But the Caracunan Government does not approve of loose fostering of rumors." Carroll rose and came over to the Brewsters. "May I bring Mr.
It's more than an even bet that some of those undersea sharks are watching for a ship to come to the rescue so they can have a shot at her also." "We're ready for 'em," said Frank significantly. "All right," said Jack. "In the meantime we'll stand by the Hazelton and see if we can lend a hand." As the Brigadier drew closer those on deck could see signs of confusion aboard the Hazelton.
