“What do you know about that?” gasped Frank. “That’s fierce!”
“Is it the same vessel you saw off Land’s End, Frank?” asked Ned.
“I’m sure I can’t say,” returned the other. “I think it is! Of course, we’re somewhat below it. Besides the difference in perspective from this angle the water has a great deal to do with changing the appearance of everything. The general outlines appear similar, however.”
“Then we’re in a ticklish position!” declared Ned. “Suppose those fellows take it into their head to torpedo us?”
“If they do,” stated Frank decisively, “they’ll play havoc!”
“They’re going over the wreck!” stated Jimmie in a whisper.
“Let’s rise a little and see which way they head for,” proposed Frank. “We can then go in the opposite direction for a while.”
“I think we’d better slide right along to the southwest,” stated Jimmie. “I know I’m meeting a good deal of opposition, but I’ve a hunch that we’ll be better off if we get right away from this spot!”
“Been reading that dream book again, little man?” asked Ned, with a laugh. “Sorry, Jimmie, but the majority seems to be against you!”
“All right, Boss!” returned Jimmie with a smile. “I’m game to stick with the bunch! You’ll find me right here smiling all the while!”
