Frank pointed to the distant objects. A startled exclamation burst from the lips of both men.
“Well I’m beat!” gasped Clifford; “they are human beings.”
“Divers!” exclaimed Hartley.
“Nothing more nor less,” said Frank. “It is quite likely that the Aurelian is just overhead.”
“That is the whole story!” cried Clifford. “They are looking for the Donna Veneta.”
Frank put on more speed.
“Well,” he said shortly, “let us run down and interview them!”
“Correct,” said Clifford. “We will ask a bit of an explanation.”
The divers were apparently astonished at the sudden radiance of the searchlight. They stood in a group waiting for developments.
