Captain Reynolds arose and extended his hand to his fellow commander.
"In case——" he said simply.
Captain Raleigh gripped the hand. Then he accompanied Captain Reynolds and saw him over the side.
It was now after 6 o'clock. The German fleet was due off Jutland at almost any moment. Captain Raleigh and Jack made their way to the wireless room.
"Get the Glasgow," commanded Captain Raleigh of the operator.
"Glasgow! Glasgow!" went the call.
"Glasgow!" came the reply a few moments later.
This conversation between the two commanders ensued:
"Have you sighted the enemy?" This from the Queen Mary.
"No," from the Glasgow.
