The sailor protested; but Jack had his way, and a few moments later, in the little cabin, Edwards was fast asleep. Jack returned aft to discuss the situation with Frank.
"Well, what now?" asked the latter. "Where are we going to find Lord Hastings?"
"I imagine the best thing for us," said Jack, "is to return to Bantry Bay. If The Hawk weathered the storm, Lord Hastings will put in sometime to-day."
"I suppose that is best," agreed Frank. "Let's be on the move."
The head of the motorboat was brought about, and gaining his bearings from a compass in the cabin, Jack shaped his course.
"A four or five hour run," he said to Frank, in giving him the proper directions.
He glanced at his watch. "Six o'clock. Well, we shall be there before noon, anyhow."
He returned to his place at the engine and the motorboat headed toward the British coast.
