"Don't know where we are," said Jack to Harris, "but it seems to me we should raise land with the coming of daylight."
"Well, I hope we do," was Harris' reply. "I'm getting awfully thirsty, but I hate to cut into that water supply."
"There is a little more for us since we lost our other passengers," said Jack. "I'm thirsty myself. We may as well sample that water."
He produced a jug and each took a cooling draught.
"Tastes pretty good," said Harris, smacking his lips.
"You bet," agreed Jack.
He made his way forward and gave Frank and the German officer a drink.
"Enough for a couple of more rounds," he said, shaking the jug and listening to the splash of the water inside.
"Oh, I guess we've enough," said Harris. "However, it is well to use it sparingly."
As it turned out they had an ample sufficiency; in fact, more than they needed.
