“That’s my idea, too,” Clay answered. “The lights certainly do not come up out of the water.”
“But who would be signaling in this lonely old lagoon?” demanded Jule.
“That’s what we don’t know,” Clay returned. “All we’ve got to do is to lie here and watch.”
“Say!” Case exclaimed in a moment. “What did you do with Captain Joe?”
“Why, he was right there when I came on board,” Clay replied. “I thought he came up the long plank right after me.”
“Well, he didn’t?” Case went on. “I took in the board after you came up, and the dog was nowhere in sight.”
“I’m glad of that!” answered Clay. “I certainly am glad of that!”
“I don’t see any good reason for celebrating the disappearance of the dog!” growled Case.
“I do!” Jule cut in. “Captain Joe will go and find Alex.”
“Sure he will!” admitted Case. “I never thought of that.”
