"You're a wise little man!"
"And, what's more, we'll see the Diver come pluggin' along here before we get this job done," Jimmie went on. "That Captain Moore and his son are out for blood."
"But the Diver will require at least a couple of months to get here," urged Frank. "We can get away before that time."
"You don't know what the Moores will do," Ned said. "I rather agree with Jimmie, that we shall see something of the Diver before we leave this part of the world."
"I hope so," Frank said.
"Well, who's for the bottom of the sea?" demanded Jimmie. "I want to see what's down there before the Bogy Man gets me."
"I don't mind going down," Ned said. "Come on, we'll close the top hatch and drop to the bottom, then, if conditions are right, we'll enter the water closet, put on the diving suits, and take a walk on the floor of the big water."
"Suppose we all go," suggested Frank.
"Perhaps it may be well for two to remain aboard in order to help the others out, if necessary," Ned observed.
"All right," Frank said. "Catch a fish by the tail and bring him in for supper."
