CHAPTER XXI
While I was willing and eager for Howard to benefit to the limit on the salvage there were certain things I must have if they could be found.
"Howard," said I, "did you find the captain's strong box? There must have been some money left if his cargo was incomplete."
"Yes—I got one box. There may be more, but, as I said, I can stay under only four or five minutes, which is not long to hunt, and dead Huns sitting around as if they were going to speak to you do not make a very pleasant audience, but I locked it down and she is just as clean as when sunk and the water is pretty cold there."
"What was in the captain's chest?"
"Well—considerable money. I have all the papers and will give them to you."
"Howard, why do you never use a diver's suit when you go sponging? Others use them."
