Frank related all that had transpired.
It surprised the sailor.
When the inventor finished, he said:
“Ain’t it queer that you should find me and get on his track again?”
“Very,” assented Frank. “Now, I’ve got a plan to propose to you.”
“What is it?” queried the sailor, curiously.
“I’ll put you back aboard the Rover. You can tell your captain what happened. They will arrest the man. Then we will take charge of him. Will you do it?”
“Gladly. I want to get even with him, badly.”
“All right. Say, Barney, overhaul the steamer.”
All the rest had overheard the sailor’s story, and the Celt steered the engine after the steamer.
