That being Saturday evening, with release from studies, Dave slipped down to the door of Farley and Page, and invited them to his quarters. There sat Dan.
Both Farley and Page listened almost in stupefaction. They had always rather liked Brimmer. Yet they were convinced that Darrin spoke the truth.
"Now, help me with your advice," begged Dave. "Should I make an official report of this whole matter?
"Not until you have stronger evidence against Brimmer," suggested
Farley.
"Would it do any good to ask for a class committee, and to bring
Brimmer before it?"
"Not until you have a better case to offer," replied Page.
"Then what should I do?"
"Cut Brimmer, of course," said Farley thoughtfully. "And don't let him guess that you're going to let up at any point of the investigation into the matter."
"We won't let up, either," blazed Dave, "if we can think of any way to probe the facts.
"I don't believe it will do much good to fool with Tony, the Greek," suggested Midshipman Page. "Brimmer has more money than any of us, and he'll pay blackmail to keep Tony's tongue quiet."
