"He's wig-wagging wants to speak to the mate. I'll go for him." He trotted aft. Leonard found the officer in his cabin and told his mission. The mate arose at once and came out with the lad. "Don't know w'ot 'e wants, do you?" he inquired. "I only spelled his message till I found he wanted you." "Huh understand flag signals, do ye?" grunted Malone, shifting his inflamed eyes to Madden's face.
When the sheer panic of surprise had worn away somewhat, the weirdness of the uncanny voyage came upon the crew with tenfold force. They stood gripping the rail, staring ahead with the feeling of condemned prisoners on their way to the gallows. "We're 'eaded for the 'ole in th' sea!" muttered Mulcher. "We'll go down tug an' hall," mumbled Galton unsteadily. "Fish bait, that's w'ot we are!"
"Not exactly," interrupted Robin, "because, you see, electricity does not really flow, not being a substance." "Not a substance, sir! w'y, w'ot is it then?" "Like light and sound, it is merely an effect, an influence, a result," answered Robin. "We only use the word flow, and talk of electricity as a fluid, for convenience' sake."
"But, sir if I give you a black eye " "How will say, ten dollars do?" "Ten dollars! For blacking your eye, sir?" "Lumme, Joe!" cried the Old Un, "get back into the ring and black 'em both " "Shut up!" said Joe, scowling down into the Old Un's eager face, "you 'eartless old bloodsucker, you!" "Bloodsucker!" screamed the old man, "w'ot, me?
"No." "Windjammer?" "Yes." Leonard nodded at his painting. "Fishing smack, I'll bet." The cross-questioning was interrupted by a raucous voice overhead, and both boys looked up to see the mate's thick torso hanging over the rail. He was shaking his fist at the tall Englishman. "W'ot you think we brought you along for?" he bawled savagely. "To give lectures?
"'Ow's this?" he growled sharply, and in some surprise. "You are not in th' crew Hi picked hup." "No, we applied at the office " "Hoffice, hoffice," snarled the man. "W'ot do they know about men, settin' hup there with their legs cocked hup? W'ot is it ye want anyway?" Leonard silently offered a paper he had received from the British Towing and Shipping Company.
With a strangling sob she ran towards the beach-head, and began to clamber up the low cliff leading to the gully. "Til-da! Hi! Til-da!" From the ledge of the cliff she stared up, and with another sob. High on the ridge that closed the gully stood Arthur Miles, safe and sound. He was waving both arms. "I've found it!" he called. "Found w'ot?" "The House."
"I've heard sea serpents can sting a man and numb him so he won't live or die," shivered Hogan, "like a spider stings a fly." They spoke in half whispers under the influence of the unknown terror. "If anything happens, I shall keel myself," declared Deschaillon, with nervous intensity, "but I shall see it first." "That's w'ot went with the other two crews killed theirselves," chattered Mulcher.
"We could raise steam, sir," suggested Galton, "and then pull all the levers and twist th' w'eels, sir and see w'ot'd 'appen." "W'ot 'ud 'appen!" cried two or three voices. "W'y, we'd hall be blowed galley west, 'at's w'ot'd 'appen!" "Sure Misther Madden can figger it out!" suggested Hogan cheerfully. "We might leave th' dock and run 'er 'ome by sail," suggested Galton. "No! No! Take th' dock!"
"Don't yer know w'ot listenin'-post is? W'y, there's a couple of us fellows hout at intervals all along the line. We get as close to the enemy parapet as is possible. We watch and listen, lyin' flat on the ousey ground hall the while. We are the heyes of the harmy. The Germans raid us on occasions. Were these posts not hout, the raids would be more frequent.
