'll have to leave something to chance," declared Jack.
"In which event your plan is as good as any I can conceive," said Frank.
"But after we get the Essex there, then what?"
"Why," said Jack, "I'll take a party of half a hundred men or so and
surround the house of this Cutlip boy. When the Germans arrive we'll nab
'em. After that we can find the submarine."
"Hasn't it struck you, sir," Frank asked of Jack, "that maybe the men who
accosted this boy and his father were merely bluffing? That they may not

"It has," Jack replied, "but at the same time there is a chance that they
will. Therefore, in lieu of any other clue as to the whereabouts of the

submarine crew.
"And you feel sure they will come back to-night?" Jack questioned.
"Yes, sir. They must be very hungry. If you could have seen those three
men devour what little food I gave them! They seemed to be half starved."
"Strange, too," Jack muttered, "considering the number of ships they have
sunk in these waters recently. They should have replenished their stores."
"It may be that this was one of the less fortunate submarines," said
Frank. "The sinkings may have been done by other U-Boats."
"That's true, too," said Jack. "I hadn't thought of that. I guess th
