"Remove his bonds," Jack instructed.
Cutlip's hands were released, and he rubbed them together as he eyed the
group in the cabin. His eyes rested on his son.
"So!" he exclaimed, "I had an idea you were at the bottom of this."
"But, father--" began the boy.
"I'll attend to you later," said the father, "not that I'll have need to,
probably, for the Germans will attend to both of us. What ails you,
anyhow? Don't you know that the Germans eventually will be masters of the
world? If we stand in with them, it may help."
"The Germans will never be masters of the world," said Jack. "You are
laboring under a delusion, Cutlip. Your son is a brave boy. Not only did
he warn us of the presence of a German submarine off the coast, but he
rendered such other assistance that the entire crew has been either killed
or captured."
Cutlip showed his surprise.
"You can't mean it!" he exclaimed. "Why, how could you overcome them. They
are supermen. Ever since the war started I have been reading about them.
They are wonderful fighters--marvelous."
"Your trouble, Cutlip," said Frank, "is that you have read too much about
them. I know that the country has been flooded with German propaganda, but
I'd no idea it had affected anyone like that."
"But--" Cutlip began.
Jack silenced him with a gesture.
"You'll have to change all your ideas now, Cutlip," he said. "You see that
the German is not a superman. We have beaten them. Besides, your country
is at war with Germany. Only a traitor, or a coward, would refuse to help
his country."
Cutlip seemed a bit startled.
"I guess that's true," he said at last. "Yes, I guess you're right."
"You and your son had better remain aboard until morning," Jack continued.
"We'll put you both ashore then."
"Jack," said Frank at this point, "don't you think we should make an
effort to destroy the submarine before we go?"
"By George! We certainly should," declared Jack. "That had slipped my mind
for the moment. We'll have one of the captured office
