BAD FOR THE SEA CREATURES
As Ned spoke there came another upheaval of water, and a louder roar from the sea. The Shark and the Sea Lion both swayed perilously. Ned and Frank closed their hatch and clung to the railing around the conning tower platform.
"Those are torpedoes, all right," Frank said.
"But I don't understand—"
Ned cut the sentence short as a third reverberation came from beneath the water.
"They think we are down there yet!" Frank said. "I wonder how the man who went down came to make such a mistake?"
"Cheerful sort of people to fight!" Ned said. "Every man on that boat is a murderer at heart."
A pounding on the under side of the hatch was now heard, and Jimmie's face showed when it was lifted.
"Say," the little fellow said, "Captain Moore wants to speak to you, Ned. These here earthquake shocks have got him goin'. He acts like a crazy man."
Ned paid no attention to the request.
