[SPAM] Up sharply against an object i

Eir quarters, leaving Lord Hastings alone on the bridge. "There is no
use talking," said the latter. "It seems rather peculiar to be sailing
under the German flag." "And that's no joke," Jack agreed. "I hope we
will not have to do it long." It was late in the evening when the
submarine approached Ostend, where it was known that the Germans had
established a submarine base. The U-16 went along slowly, for Lord
Hastings was not certain of his bearings. Suddenly there came a hail
across the water and a light flashed upon the U-16. In response to a
command Lord Hastings brought the vessel to a halt. "Who are you?" came
the challenge in the darkness. "U-16, Captain Tarlenhein," Lord Hastings
shouted back. "Good," was the reply. "We wondered what had happened to
you. Everything all right?" "All right." "Ready to join us in another
desperate mission?" "Yes. Ready any time." "Good. Remain where you are.
We start within the hour. Your instructions will be sent to you." Lord
Hastings signified that he understood and the light on the other vessel
was flashed off, leaving the U-16 in darkness again. "Now what do you
suppose is up, sir?" asked Frank eagerly. "You have just as much idea as
I have," declared Lord Hastings. "However, we shall probably know in
good time." And he was right. Half an hour later a small boat approached
the side of the U-16. In response to a signal from Lord Hastings, who
had perceived his approach, a subordinate officer clambered aboard.
"Captain Tarlenhein?" he inquired. Lord Hastings kept his face half
turned in the darkness. "Yes," he replied in a husky voice. The officer
drew a paper from his pocket and passed it to Lord Hastings. "From
Admiral Seibert, sir." He brought his heels together, gave a quick
salute, turned on his heel, and went back over the side. Lord Hastings
immediately hastened to his cabin and as hastily summoned Jack and
Frank. "Well," he said quietly, "here are our orders," and he laid the
paper on the table. "Sit down." The lads did so, and Lord Hastings,
seating himself, picked up the document, broke the seal, and read aloud:
"Captain Tarlenhein, "Commanding H.I.S. U-16: "Proceed immediately,
under command of Admiral Schuler, to Dover Bay, joining submarine
flotilla there, to proceed to the Thames for attack British fleet.
Flotilla to gather mile off Dover, midnight, Thursday. (Signed)
"SEIBERT." "I
