Professional excitement and enthusi- asm are excusable. even when aroused over the perfonnances of an enemy. Bronson, who had gone aloft to die, had a new interest in life. “The mother boat must have dropped - one somewhere," said the captain. “or 3 l “By the laws of honor and . 5 submarine. navies ‘ that no man may live through an :1c- 1 - - . 1 f 1' ~‘ ' 1 ~ ‘ tion 111 a lighting top. and Bronson. - 0 e the“. eyes “Ht they “59(3th ' who had entered the boat. ‘ But as to how Finnegan had raised ' the boat they did not learn from him. ‘ could not but ' hate been impressed by the sight of . the fall of the lower Russian ships ' waving a wigwag ‘ . he raise that boat alone. and how am i he get d1 unk‘l“ i As the small submarine boat came abreast men on the main deck went . ov e1 aftet Finnegan.
