"Water, Frank," said Jack.
Frank hurried forward again and returned in a moment with water. This Jack sprinkled over Edwards' face. Five minutes later Edwards sat up.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
Jack explained.
"I remember now, sir," said Edwards, trying to smile. "And did you lick 'em?"
"I did," said Jack.
"And Williams, sir? How is he? I saw him go down just before I went under."
"We'll see," replied Jack briefly.
He led the way to where Williams still lay prone, Frank and Edwards following.
Jack bent over the man, then placed a hand over his heart. Then he got slowly to his feet.
