wants to know II he may come aboard.
Addicks-By no means Jef, man
that rapid-fre gun and sink the boat.
All hands stand by the nets to repel
boarders. Turn on the search-light
and watch out for torpedoes. He's a
deserter. and deserves to be shot.

generosity. I've known him since he
was small boy and beg mercy for
him.
Addicks-Hold on, JEFF. don't fire.
John, I'll do this for you for the sake
OF old times, but just drop him a line
to keep off the high seas, or he'll get
scuttled.

York?

coincidence that Admiral Dewey and
should arrive there on the same day

Mr.. Dewey is
BUELL. can't help that. II he's
Regular l hain't got no use for hin

plays us double every time. Just 9
likely as not they'll pack the meetin
and capture the organization after v
get over there.
Allee-But, Buell.. let me explain tn
matter.
Buell-It don't need no explanatio
FL Deweys against Addicks to h
with Dewey. II seems strange 10 n
that we can't go over to New York al
, have a quiet time with them peop
over there without Colonel DuPoi
, and Hugh Browne setting up a job
this kind on us. Next thing you kno
