captured."
"We'll stay here awhile," said the spokesman of the sailors.
"But you can't stay there forever, and you can't submerge," said Frank.
"Come up and surrender."
To this the lad received no response. Frank reported to Jack.
"So they won't surrender, eh?" said Jack. "Then we'll go down and get
them."
"Rather risky, Jack," Frank warned.
"So it is," Jack agreed. "So's the whole war. But wait. We'll see."

"Well?" questioned Jack.
"Pretty risky," responded Captain Griswold, sha
