"I'll say that was a close shave!" he cried. "The dirty skunks! Missed us though and a miss is as good as a mile."Then, before any one had time to speak, he sprang towards the open hatchway. "Quick!" he shouted, as he leaped down the ladder. "Down below! Everybody! Hurry!"Without stopping to question and only realizing that he must have good reasons for his orders, the others rushed after him and scarcely was the last one at the foot of the stairs when the hatch slid into place, men sprang to levers and wheels and the submarine was diving."Jiminy!" exclaimed Tom. "What on earth's the matter? What do you mean by saying they missed us and then hustling us down below?""Don't you understand?" snapped Rawlins. "It's clear as glass. They tried to get us-knew we or the destroyer were trailing them and towed that schooner along as bait. Had it loaded with explosives and figured on touching them off when we or the destroyer sighted her and ran alongside. But they failed by about a minute. Probably timed the blamed infernal machine for the destroyer and didn't allow for our speed-darned lucky for us! I don't wonder they cleared out as fast as they could leg it."
