pump with instructions to place them carefully in the small boat.
"And now for the submarine," he confided to his first officer.
On deck, half a dozen passengers approached the captain with inquiries as
to what was going on.
"Why," he said with a grin, "we're just going to capture a submarine,
that's all. Stick close to the side of the ship and you'll see how it's

This was adjusted to the captain's satisfaction.
"Now," said the captain, "all you have to do is to stick this nozzle down
the conning tower, turn it so as to give the gas full play and pump. Of
