In the submarine harbor to which he
had been taken, Del Mar found that he
had been pretty badly shaken up by
the accident to his car. His clothes
were torn and his face and body
scratched. No bones were broken,
however, though the shock had been
great. Several of his men were en-
d~eavoring to fix him up in the little
submarine office. but he was angry,
very angry.
At such a ~juncture a man in a drip
ping diving suit entered and pulled
off his helmet, after what had evil
IDENTIFY been a hasty trip from the land
through the entrance and up again
into the harbor. AS he approached,
Del Mar saw that the mans hand was
bound up,
What's the matter?" demanded Del
Mar. How did you get that?"
THAT fellow Jameson and the girl
did it," he replied, telling what had
happened in the cave. Someone must
have given them one Of those new
searchlight guns"
Where are they?" he asked.
Il saw them go out to the yacht OF
that Professor Arnold"
He's the fellow that gave her the
gum" almost Kissed Del Map. "On the
yacht, are they?"
An evil smile seemed to spread over
his face. Then we'll get them all,
this time. Man the submarine-the
1893"
All left the office on the run, hurry
ing around the ledge and down into
the open hatch of the submarine. Del
Mar came along a moment later, Civ
ing orders sharply and quickly.
The hatch was closed and the YES
sci sealed. On all sides were cleo
trical devices and machines tt operate
the craft and the torpedoes-an intri-
cate system of things which it seemed
as if nc human mind could possibly
understand.
Del Mar threw on a switch. The
submarine hummed and trembled.
Slowly she sank in the harbor until
she was at the level Of the underwa-
ter entrance through the rocks. Care
fully she was guided out through this
entrance into the waters of the larger,
real harbor.
Del Mar took his place at the peri
scope, the eye Of the submarine. Anx-
iously he turned it about and bent
over the image which it projected.
There 1t is" he muttered, picking
out Arnold's yacht and changing the
course Of the submarine so that it
headed directly at it, the planes
so that they kept the boat just
under the surface with only the peri.
showing above.
Forward, about the torpedo dis
charge tubes men were busy testing
he doors and getting ready the big
automatic torpedoes.
"They must have seen us" muttered
Del Mar. They've started the yacht.
But we can beat them, easily. Are
you ready?"
YES" called back the men forward,
a torpedo into the locklike
compartment from which it was
aunched.
LET 1t go, then" beloved Del Mar.
The torpedo shot out into the wa
er, travelling under her own power,
traight at the yacht.
Elaine and | looked back. The peri.
cope was much nearer than before.
Can we outdistance the submarine?"
asked of Arnold.
Arnold shook his head, his face
On came the thin line of foam.

rotor boat is much faster"
Arnold shouted his orders as he led
s down the ladder to the motor boat,
ito which we jumped, followed by as
lany of the crew as could get in, while
others leaped into the water from
rail Of the yacht and struck out
'r the shore, which was not very dis
INT.
What's that?" cried Elaine, horri-
ed, pointing back.
The water seemed to be all churned
A long cigar-shaped affair was

"A torpedo!" exclaimed Arnold.
Iast Off"
We moved off from the yacht as
Witty as the speedy little open mo-
r boat would carry us, not a minute
o soon.
The torpedo struck the yacht al
ost exactly amidships. A huge col
