Jack returned his watch to his pocket.
"Not much time to gather the fleet together," he said quietly to Frank.
"No," was his chum's reply, "but you can rest assured that all can be done will be done."
Captain Raleigh, upon the bridge, had issued orders swiftly. The Queen Mary, which had been heading southward after Frank and Jack returned aboard, was quickly brought about. After several sharp commands to his officers, Captain Raleigh motioned to Frank and Jack.
"Come with me," he said. "You shall tell me what you have learned as we go along."
The two lads followed him.
Straight to the wireless room went the commander of the Queen Mary.
"Get the Lion quickly," he ordered the wireless operator.
"Lion! Lion!" the call went across the water.
There was no reply.
