“What do you make of it, skipper?” asked Captain Bell, as Frank came out of the pilot-house.
“I hardly know,” replied Frank. “It looks to me, though, like a ship of more modern build than the pirate vessel.”
“It’s mighty hard to tell for the seaweed over it.”
“Yes.”
“But I think it’s the Virgin!”
“You do?”
“Yes; she’s in about the right location. It must be her.”
“I hope so.”
Preparations were now made to go out and inspect the submarine wreck. This fell to the lot of Frank, Von Bulow and the captain.
Barney and Pomp remained behind.
