“No, but I can find out. Up at the hospital they have some very fine, detailed maps of every island and inlet along this coast.”
“Soundings, too, and water depths?”
“I should think so. I never studied them closely. They were done by some boys over at the Marine Base—fellows who used to work for the Coast Geodetic Survey.”
“Wish I could have a look at them.”
“Might stir up some comment, Kit. No use to lay ourselves open to questioning.”
“No, of course not.”
“What did you want to look up specially?”
“I was wondering yesterday when I went exploring if that inlet flowing around the south end of that island is deep enough to float a sub.”
Brad laughed. “You can put that worry out of your mind, Kit. Any inlet along this coast that’s deep enough to float a sub is thoroughly guarded and protected by netting at the sea entrance—under water of course.”
“But that’s no assurance that small rubber boats can’t come in for supplies.”
