Nor was it many seconds later when all three of the submarine boys began
to feel suddenly suspicious.
"I'm going to open my eyes," whispered Eph.
"You're on honor not to," warned Jack Benson, also in a whisper.
"I didn't give my word," retorted Eph, "and I'm going to--oh, great shades
of Santiago!"
The very genuine note of concern in Eph's voice caused Jack and Hal to
open their own eyes instantly.
Nor could any of the three repress a quick start.
From all quarters naval cadets were advancing stealthily upon them.
Something in the very attitude and poise of the young men told the
submarine boys that these naval cadets were out for mischief.
"We're in for it!" breathed Jack, in an undertone. "We're in for something
real and startling, I reckon. Fellows, brace up and take your medicine,
whatever it is, like men!"
CHAPTER XI: BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED!
Nor was Jack's guess in the least wrong.
Even had the submarine boys attempted to bolt they would have found it
impossible. They were surrounded.
The cadets closed quickly in upon them. There were more than thirty of
these budding young naval officers.
