Then Barney made a dash for the next cabin.
Bell followed him.
And then the bodies, attracted again by the current, came piling after them.
Bell shrieked and flung the cabin door shut behind him.
This shut off pursuit.
The two terrified divers were in the second cabin.
Barney drew close to Bell and shouted:
“Begorra, if they’d been aloive I’d not have been afraid av thim!”
“Nor I,” agreed Bell; “but I am mighty afraid of a dead man under the water. It is horrible!”
“Begorra, ye’re roight. Shure, we’d niver make soldiers.”
