"One!" The speaker was Jack Templeton, an English youth and first officer of the British submarine D-16, Lord Hastings, commander. Frank Chadwick, an American lad about the same age as Jack, the second officer of the under-sea fighter, laid his hand upon his friend's arm. "Let me take a look," he said. Jack relinquished to his chum his place at the periscope, and the latter peered into the instrument long and earnestly. Into the periscope-which protruded slightly above the surface of the water while the submarine was still submerged-came the vision of a sinking warship, and the sight, enlarged by powerful binoculars, was apparent to Frank's eyes. "She's done for, all right," he said quietly, turning away at length. "Pretty good shooting, I should say."

Excerpt from The Boy Allies Under Two Flags, or Sweeping the Enemy From the SeaShells, dropping in front, behind and on all sides of the Sylph, threw up the water in mighty geysers, as if it were a typhoon that surrounded the little vessel. Shells screamed overhead, but none found its mark.All this time the vessels were drawing closer and closer together. Now, as the little scout cruiser rose on a huge swell, a single shock shook the vessel, and a British shell sped true.A portion of the Breslau's superstructure toppled; a second later and the faint sound of a crash was carried over the water to the Sylph.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
