As soon as Jack had left the deck of the steamer, Captain Griswold had
ordered the engines started and prepared for a quick dash to shore.
"There are likely to be more of those pesky submarines about here," he
muttered, "and the sooner I reach port the better."
Accordingly he ordered full speed ahead.
"Do you know," said Frank, "I've a hunch that the U-87 is not through with
the Ventura. You know how the German is. He doesn't like to admit he's
been licked, so I figure the submarine commander is likely to have gone
ahead and will be awaiting the approach of the Ventura."
"Now by George! I wouldn't be a bit surprised," Jack agreed. "Well, we'll
be ready for him."
"What are you going to do, Jack?"
"I'll show you. Come."
Jack dashed to the radio room, Frank at his heels.
"Get the Ventura for me," Jack instructed the operator.
It was perhaps five minutes later that the Ventura answered the call. Jack
took the key.
"Captain Griswold?" he asked.
"Yes. Who are you?"
"Captain Templeton, destroyer Essex."
"Well, what do you want this time?"
"Slow down. I'm coming aboard again."
"What for?"
"I'll explain when I get there."
"All right, but I'll tell you I don't like this business."
The instrument became silent.
"Now tell me what you're going to do, Jack," said Frank, as he followed
his chum and commander on deck.
"It's very simple," said Jack. "As you have said, I believe that the
submarine commander will intercept the Ventura again farther along toward
the shore. Now, I'm going to turn the Essex over to you temporarily and
go aboard the Ventura. You know the Germans as well as I do. This man will
no more think of sinking the Ventura without doing a bit of bragging to
the captain, who fooled him once, than he will of flying."
"That's true enough," Frank admitted.
"All right. Now I'll be aboard when he gets there. If he comes aboard,
I'll grab him there. If he doesn't I'll jump to the deck of the submarine
after him and tumble h
