rtheless," said Frank, "I had better stick to it or I'm liable to
forget in public some time."
"Well, maybe you're right," said Jack.
Frank turned on his heel and went on deck, where he relieved Lieutenant
Hetherton, who had been on watch.
"Nothing to report, sir," said Lieutenant Hetherton, saluting.
"Very well, sir," was Frank's reply, as he, too, saluted.
It was after midnight, and Frank's watch was nearing its end when the
lookout on the port side called:
"Boat off the port bow, sir."
Frank advanced to the rail. A moment later there was a hail from the
water.
"What ship is that?'
"His Majesty's Ship Brigadier," Frank called back.
"I'm coming aboard you," said the voice from the darkness. "Lower a
ladder."
Frank gave the necessary command. A few moments later a man attired in the
uniform of a British captain came over the side. He approached Frank, who
was barely visible in the darkness.
"Captain Templeton?" he asked.
"No, sir. I'm Lieutenant Chadwick. A moment, sir, and I'll call the
captain."
"If you please," said the visitor.
Frank passed the word for the quartermaster, who arrived within a few
moments.
"Call Captain Templeton," Frank directed.
Jack arrived on deck a few moments later and exchanged greetings with his
visitor. The latter produced a packet of papers.
"From the admiralty," he said. "You will know what to do with them."
Jack took the papers and stowed them in his pocket.
"Yes, sir," he said.

He stepped to the side of the vessel and disappeared.
"This means," said Jack, after the other had gone, "that we can sail any
time now."
"Then why not at once?" asked Frank.
"You anticipated me," replied Jack. "Will you kindly pipe all hands on
deck, Mr. Chadwick?"
Frank passed the word.
Sleepy men came tumbling from their bunks below. All became bustle and
hurry aboard the Brigadier. Jack himself took the bridge. Frank stood
beside him. Other officers to
