T-commander Davis was directing the retreat of his men over the sand
dunes to their waiting boats on the beach front a mile or so off. German
airplanes were making valiant efforts to wipe out the American landing
party, but were so hard pressed by the heavy fire from the American
battleships at sea that their aim was inaccurate. The U-boat got under
way with Lieutenant Bridwell, Jack, and the German pilot in the conning
tower. Ted was dividing his time between the engine room and the control
chamber, where the other two Germans were stationed under strong guard.
Moving very slowly, the U-boat was headed down the canal and very soon
emerged into the bay that Jack had found in his exploration of the
coast. In full view now was the American fleet from which the landing
party had been set ashore---the battleship Tallahassee, the cruisers
Detroit and Raleigh, the destroyer _Farragut_ and the submarine _Dewey_.
The Tallahassee was lying broadside of the coast with all her monster
fourteen-inch guns ready for action. Soon the U-boat had wormed its way
safely out into the open sea and was skimming along under the heavy fire
of the fleet that was being directed against the German coast
fortifications. As the U-boat, with the Stars and Stripes flaunting
astern, moved outward, the fleet got under way. Notwithstanding the
heavy German fire from the coast defenses the American ships got safely
away virtually unscarred in the battle. Fifteen miles out at sea the
captured German U-boat came up with the _Dewey_. Jack had a joyous
reunion with "Little Mack," Cleary and Binns, Bill Witt, Mike Mowrey and
all his other friends aboard the reclaimed American submarine. And then
he heard the complete story of his rescue. No sooner had the _Dewey_
appeared upon the, surface, following the successful consummation of Ted
Wainwright's plan, than she had sighted the destroyer _Farragut_
