“We’ll do our best,” was the solemn reply. “But what about the secret radio?”
“We can always listen for the subs. They can’t detect our listening. Perhaps that’s the most important of all.”
“Silent Storm has the other set?”
“Yes. He’ll be standing by for a half hour in the morning and again at night. In an emergency, the secret radio might help. Other than that, silence is the order of the day.”
“Yes, subs have ears,” Nancy agreed. “Loose talk may sink a ship.”
“It’s nice to have Danny on the ship.”
“Which do you like best, Danny or Storm?” Nancy asked.
“I like them both, but in different ways. Storm is like a big brother. He helps a lot. Danny’s just a very nice boy.”
“And really nice boys are about the nicest creatures in the world.” Nancy laughed low.
“I’m going below for a few winks of sleep.” Sally turned away. “There’ll be work to do later.”
