Undoubtedly the most humiliated man present was George Melville.     The very tone in which the word boy was uttered was meant to reduce the youthful captain to confusion, but it had the opposite effect. The Porpoise sunk as the tanks filled and, in a little while, the submarine was in calm water, and was forging ahead at three-quarter speed.

Mr.Farnum and Mr.Pollard took the journalistic visitors in charge and finally conveyed them in carriages to the boatyard, arriving at about a quarter before eleven. Just then Mark happened to look at the bull's-eye. From overhead came the sound of a loud guffaw.         Pollard came into Mr.Farnum's office, carrying a valise and a brief case and announced that he was going away for a time where he could not be reached to rest and study and think.
