In the submarine harbor r. vbio

had been pretty badly shaken nm ~ e

very angry.
At such juncture a man in 2 dr;n
ping diving suit entered and nullnd
off his helmetS$ after what had eyi

into the harbor. AS he approacbod
Del Mar saw that the mans hand u.oS
bound up.
Whats the matter?' demanded No,
Mar. 'How did you get that?"
THAT fellow Jameson and the eir,
did it," he replied, telling what bod
happened in the cave. Someone must
have given them one of those now
searchlight guns"
where are they?" he asked.
II saw them go out to the yacht O,
that Professor Arnold"
He's the fellow that gave her the

yacht, are they"
An evil smile seemed to spread ove,
his face Then we'll get them ali

All left the Office on the run, hurry.

the open hatch of the submarine. Del
Mar came along moment later, Civ.
ing orders sharply and quickly.
The hatch was closed and the YES.
sci sealed. On all sides were cleo.
trica1 devices and machines to operate
the craft and the torpedoes-an intri.
cate system of things which It seemed
as If no 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 largsr,
real harbor.
Del Mar took his Tlace at the peri
scope, tbs eye of tha submarine. Anx-
icusly he turned es about and bent
over the imaeN which it projected,
There it Isl he muttered, picking
out Arnold's yc&;ht and changing the
course of the submarine so that it
was headed directly at it, the planes
turned SO that they kept the boat just
under the surface with only the peri.
scope showing above.
Forward, about the torpedo dis
charge tubes men were busy testing
the doors and getting ready the big
torpedoes.
"They must have seen u.s." muttered
Del Mar. They've started the yacht.
But We can beat them, easily. Are
you ready?"
yes" called back the men forward,
pushing torpedo into the locklike
compartment from which it was
launched.
LET it go, then" beloved Del Mar.
The torpedo shot out into the wa
ter, travelling under her own power,
at the yacht.
Elaine and I looked back. The peri.
scope was much nearer than before.
Can we outdistance the submarine?"
asked of Arnold.
Arnold shook his head, his face
grave. On came the thin line of foam.
I'm afraid we'll have to leave the
yacht" he said warningly. "My little
motor boat is much faster"
Arnold shouted his orders as he led
is down the ladder to the motor boat
nto which we jumped, followed by as
many of the crew as could get in, while
he others leaped into the water from
he rail Of the yacht and struck out
or the shore, which was not very dis

whats that? ?" cried Elaine, horri
led, pointing back.
The water seemed to be all churned
Up. A long cigar-shaped affair was
slipping along near enough to the sur
ace so that we could just make it out
-murderous, deadly, aimed right at
he heart of the yacht.
"a torpedo!" exclaimed Arnold
Cast Off"
We moved off from the yacht as
Witty as the speedy little open mo-
or boat would carry us, not minute

The torpedo struck the yacht al
most exactly amidships. A huge col
mn of water spurted up into the air
