CHAPTER XXVIII.
THE BATTLE AND THE ATTACK ON THE U-6.
Another few hundred yards from the two other submarines, Lord Hastings ordered the U-6 brought to a stop.
"We'll stop here a bit and watch the battle," he said.
The U-6 rose to the surface and the three officers ascended to the bridge. The pirate craft, The Vulture, was still upon the surface and they were able to see that Davis at that moment had climbed over the side. Together with the man who was already on the bridge he hurried below.
"Now they will submerge," said Lord Hastings.
He was right, for a moment later The Vulture began to sink lower in the water. At this moment the German craft fired her first torpedo. It struck a hundred yards to the right of The Vulture.
"Poor shooting," declared Jack.
The others nodded.
"She'll do better next time," said Frank.
