"Yes, we could tell that, too; but it isn't positive."
"And there was Secor's running into me and spoiling our other films,"
said Charlie.
"That, too, would hardly be enough," went on Blake. "What the
authorities will have to do will be to search the baggage of these
fellows, and see if there is anything incriminating among their papers.
We can't do that, so we'll have to wait."
And wait they did. In spite of what Captain Merceau had said, the boys
did not relax their vigilance, but though, to their minds, the two men
acted suspiciously, there was nothing definite that could be fastened on
them.
Watchful guard was maintained night and day against an attack by
submarines, and though there were several alarms, they turned out to be
false. And in due season, the vessel arrived at "an English port," as
the papers stated.
"Let's go and see if Captain Merceau wants us to give any evidence
against those fellows," suggested Joe; and this seemed a good plan to
follow.
"Ah, yes, my American friends!" the commander murmured, as the boys were
shown into his cabin. "What can I do for you?"
"We thought we'd see if you wanted us in relation to the arrest of Secor
and Labenstein," answered Blake.
