“Submerge!”
CHAPTER IV.
A DARING PLAN.
Jack stepped to Lord Hastings’ side and shouted:
“Did we get ’em?”
Lord Hastings shook his head.
“I don’t know,” he replied. “We’ll go up again directly.”
He ordered the submarine to proceed ahead half a mile, and then rise.
This was done, and as the periscope once more took in the sight about, Lord Hastings, who gazed through it, stepped quickly aside and motioned to Jack to peer in. The lad did so, and stepped back with an exclamation of delight.
Frank also peered into the periscope, and uttered an exclamation of pleasure as his eyes took in the scene about.
