ability of the authorities to capture the two men. Not that they had any
fears for themselves, for, as Joe said, they had nothing to apprehend

"Unless they are after the new films we take," suggested Charles.
"Why should they want them?" asked Blake. "I mean, our films are not
likely to give away any vital secrets," he went on.
"Well, I don't know," answered the lanky helper, "but I have a sort of
hunch that they'll do all they can and everything they can to spoil our
work for Uncle Sam on this side of the water, as they did before."
"Secor spoiled the films before," urged Blake. "He didn't know
Labenstein then, as far as we know."
"Well, he knows him now," said Charles. "I'm going to be on the watch."
"I guess the authorities will be as anxious to catch those fellows as we

from a submarine, as was undoubtedly done when Labenstein waved my
flashlight, isn't a matter to be lightly passed over."
And the authorities took the same view.
