It was perhaps five minutes later that the Ventura answered the call. Jack took the key.
"Captain Griswold?" he asked.
"Yes. Who are you?"
"Captain Templeton, destroyer Essex."
"Well, what do you want this time?"
"Slow down. I'm coming aboard again."
"What for?"
"I'll explain when I get there."
"All right, but I'll tell you I don't like this business."
The instrument became silent.
