The Submarine Boys for the Flag - Deeding Their Lives to Uncle Sam by Victor G. Durham
page 62 of 224 (27%)

The automobiles were waiting outside. Lieutenant Ridder was given a
three minutes' start. Then the submarine boys followed after, in a
second car.

As Radford was but four miles distant from the post the trip was not to
be a long one.

"This is the sort of job that has me by the ears," glowed Eph Somers,
enthusiastically. "I won't be selfish enough to say I hope to be the
fellow to catch Millard. But, if he does stray my way, I hope I won't
be idiot enough to let him slip through my fingers."

"I don't care if Lieutenant Ridder is the one who nabs him," remarked
Hal, coolly. "All that I'm particular about is to see this foreign
agent nabbed before he succeeds in getting any information out of the
country."

The car that bore the boys was soon driving through the streets of
Radford. Jack held in his hand a list of the better grade and
middle-class hotels that Colonel Totten had given him.

"Which hotel are we going to first?" asked Hal.

"I don't know," uttered Jack, suddenly, sharply. "I know what I'm going
to do, however."

Leaning slightly forward the young submarine captain prodded the
chauffeur lightly, twice, in the back--a signal that had been agreed
upon at need.
