Excerpt: ... part in the chaffing. He was miserably conscious, all the while, that his own folly had been solely responsible for the present plight of these noble messmates. Thus the time passed on. None kept any track of it; they realized only that it was still daylight. Then suddenly Dave gave a gasp and raised one hand to point. His two classmates turned and were able to make out the mastheads of a craft in the distance. How they strained their eyes!

Once more came the cheers of encouragement, as the liner, now some distance ahead, put off a heavy launch. A masthead lookout, who had first seen the midshipmen, was now signaling the way to the officer in command of the launch.
