Then while
we were trying to keep our eyes on the faint lights of the _Dewey_,
what should we see but a boat steering right at us! Without any
words, the Germans stooped right down and dragged us into their boat.
None of us could see each other very well, but we soon made out they
were Germans. They discovered our nationality about the same time
and they wouldn't believe us when we told them we were from the U.S.
submarine that had sunk them."
"Did they try anything rough on you?" put in Jack.
"No," continued Ted, "they were so thankful to be in that boat instead
of floundering in the sea they didn't care much about anything else.
When we told them our vessel was somewhere close by they wouldn't
believe it until we showed them the faint streaks of light from the
_Dewey_ through the fog. Then Bill Witt told them they would stand a
better chance for their lives if they got in touch with the American
submarine. They parleyed a while over that and finally decided they
would take Bill's tip.
