This instruction would continue daily, with squads of six midshipmen on board, until all members of the first class had received thorough drilling.
"That's going to be a mighty pleasant change from the usual routine here," whispered Farley in Dave's ear.
"It surely will," Darrin nodded.

"It will be even better fun than football." "With no chance for the Army to beat us out on this game," Farley replied slyly.
At last it came the turn of Dave, Dan, Farley, Page, Jetson and Wolgast to go aboard the "Dodger." "Gentlemen," announced Lieutenant Jack Benson, "Ensign Somers will show you all that is possible about the deck handling and the steering below the surface, and then Ensign Hastings will explain the mechanical points of this craft.

When both are through, if you have any questions.

I will endeavor to answer them." In a few minutes the "showing" had been accomplished.
"Any questions, gentlemen ?" inquired Lieutenant Benson.
Dave was ready with three; Farley had four and Jetson two.

Lieutenant Benson looked particularly pleased as he answered.
