reckoned with, but I had no idea they were operating so far out. We'll
have to get busy."
Jack looked at his officers with a slight smile on his face, then ordered:
"Shape your course due east, Frank. Full speed ahead."
CHAPTER XIV
THE U-87
As the Essex sped forward the radio operator from time to time picked up
other messages from the Ventura.
"She's headed directly toward us," Jack explained to Frank. "We should
sight her within the hour."
