submarine _Narwhal_, doggedly scouring the region where last her first
torpooner had been heard from, fell across a slim shape of steel that
was beating its way at full speed through the foggy murk of the Arctic
sea.
Right up to the _Narwhal_ she came, swerving at the last moment and
hovering outside the starboard torpoon catapult; while, aboard the
submarine, an officer whose voice quivered with excitement roused
Captain Henry Streight from his bunk, and the men off duty gathered
around the inner catapult entrance-port.
Quickly the outer port swung open. And the lone torpoon slid in--slid
home.
