Frank, as they walked toward the water front.
"I won't mind another look at the United States myself," Jack declared.
"It looks like a pretty good country to me, from what I saw of it last
trip. Almost as good as England, I guess."
"Almost?" repeated Frank. "Say, let me tell you something. The United
States is the greatest country under the sun and don't you forget it. You
Johnny Bulls seem to think that England is the only spot on the map."
"Well," returned Jack with a smile, "it strikes me that you boast

if I'm not mistaken that's the Brigadier about a hundred yards off shore

certainly done a good job on her."
"So they have," Jack agreed. "But we may as well go aboard."
They commandeered a small boat and rowed rapidly to the Brigadier. Jack
swung himself up on deck and Frank climbed up behind him.
A young lieutenant greeted Jack respectfully after a quick glance at the
latter's bars.
"What can I do for you, sir?" he asked.
"You may go below and tell the engineer to get steam up immediately,"
