"The torpedo room!" shouted Burke.
"Hike for the torpedo room!" roared Harris.
The two men flung past Matt and Carl and raced along the corridor.
"I guess there are enough of them to capture the two remaining members of the gang, Carl," said Matt. "Pick up some of those ropes and we'll go and put them on the fellow Dick is standing guard over."
"Dot's me!" boomed Carl, gathering up the ropes and hurrying after Matt.
They found that Dick still had his prisoner safely in hand.
"He nearly slipped his hawse, though," said Dick, "when the lights went out, but I hung to him until the lights were turned on again. Did you find Cassidy, Burke and Harris, Matt?"
"Yes," answered Matt. "They were in the same room where Holcomb and I were put when Jurgens brought us aboard the Grampus. We've released the three of them and they are now making prisoners of the two last members of Jurgens' gang. They're fighting in the torpedo room."
"Glory!" cried Ferral. "If any one had told me we could have done this, I wouldn't have believed it. It's the biggest thing we've yet passed to our credit, matey."
"Well, before we congratulate ourselves too much, suppose we make sure of the prisoners we have? Get the ropes on that fellow, Dick, and then you and Carl drag him to the room from which we just took Cassidy, Burke and Harris. I'm going to the torpedo room and see how matters are progressing."
