CHAPTER w.
The Quest Of the Sea Shark.


Lieutenant Donald Paget stood on
the upper platform Of the F55, which
ran awash in the waves of the North
Atlantic, far from the mother ship
which had conveyed her and others Of
the flotilla almost to the north of
Scotland.
The frail little craft hummed noislly
as her petrol motors drove the twin
screws through the water. The F55,
one of the older type Of submarine,
was making ten knots through diff
cult sea. Within her 250 feet by IL
she held an amazing potentiallty for
destruction.
Above the coming tower rose the
single periscope for the captain or
lookout man-now almost useless
should the F55 submerge herself, on
account of the washing seas. Within
the tower were the observation port
depth meter, and tubes connecting
with the. engine room and torpedo
station. The platform quivered inces
sanity as the periscope motor under
meath throbbed, and the vibration OF
the engines made the entire vessel
shlver.
In the few days that he had been
at sea the sense of responsibility fol
his ship and the lives Of his men had
weighed on Donald heavily. Now, en-
tering the coming tower, unJ iakIny
his stand beside the lookout man, he
seemed to assume dual personality
One part of him bent itself automat
lcally to its task. The other was
thinking over the events Of the pas
