A few minutes later, however, a cadet tripped lightly down the side ladder to say that the gentleman who spoke English was requested to report on deck.

As in obedience to this order our young trooper followed him up the ladder, he found opportunity to say in a low but earnest voice: "I must see the Admiral, alone if possible.

Have important communication for him.

Try and arrange an interview." The cadet looked back in surprise, and then nodded his head.

The next moment they were on deck, when the "Senor Remelios" could barely control his joyful emotions at finding himself once more among his countrymen and beneath his country's flag.
After a brief transaction of business the guests were invited into the ward-room, which they had scarcely entered when word was passed that the one speaking English was again wanted on deck.
