“Misther Frank, for the love av Heaven, cum quick! Shure there’s the divil to pay! The captain has been overcome, sor!”
Frank needed no second bidding.
Quick as a flash he rushed into the cabin. He sprang into a diving suit, locked the helmet with a click, set the generator going, and then sprang into the vestibule.
All this was done with great rapidity.
Then he opened the outer door and was in the sea.
The companions of Captain Uriah were staggering from the same cause.
They had been too long subjected to the pressure.
Frank motioned to them to go aboard the Dolphin instantly.
Then he sprang to Captain Uriah’s side.
The captain lay partly upon his back, and Frank saw through the helmet window that his face was horribly distorted.
