"Are you sorry?" asked the young submarine captain, coolly.
"Well, considering my private opinion of Mr. John C. Rhinds, and my
belief as to what he did--or tried to do--to us, I can't say I'm
deeply grieved," returned the shipbuilder.
Then time shipbuilder looked around him, at all three of the submarine
boys, as he went on:
"Lads, we've been cramped up on this boat long enough, so I'm going to
take you ashore this evening. But remember--not a word to reporters,
or to anyone else. If any one of you opens his mouth on this subject,
I shall consider that young man no longer a friend of mine."
All this while Chief Ward, of the Colfax police department, was busily
engaged in seeking tidings of the missing Fred Radwin. But Radwin,
after entering that adjoining room, appeared to have been swallowed up.
Jack had heard, from the chief of police, of the disappearance of Radwin.
This was one feature of the story that the newspapers had as yet failed
to discover. However, Ward believed that Radwin was now hundreds of
miles away, and still traveling.
