“I’ll say it is. Where’d you get it?”
“It just came to me as I was thinking it over.”
“Well, it’s a peacherino all right, and well spring it on the captain first thing in the morning and I’ll bet he’ll jump for it.”
They talked the plan over for several minutes longer and Bob declared that there was not a flaw in it.
“Well, boys, have you thought of any way to get those fellows?”
The boys, together with the captain, had finished breakfast and had returned to the latter’s room for a conference.
“Jack has,” Bob replied.
“Good. I’ll have to confess that I haven’t been able to work out anything at all satisfactory.”
“Well, it’s like this, sir. You see we worked out a small pocket radio phone a little while ago which seems to work pretty well. Here it is.” And he pulled the case from his pocket and handed it to the captain.
“You say you can talk with this?” the captain asked, much interested.
