really the Earl and Countess of Denby.
After her awful experience in the water the countess's health remained
impaired for months, so the noble couple gave up the idea of spy work and
turned their energies toward Red Cross work in France and Italy.

Sophia Weiner and her daughter were convicted of espionage in that they
had sailed for England with false passports. They are now confined in
some prison in England, and will remain there for some years after the
war closes.

Captain Kennor reached home safely, where he learned that the other boats
from the "Rigsdak" had reached a friendly shore. It was some months
before the Danish master went to sea again.

The British admiral's report, sent through channels to the Vice Admiral
of the American destroyer fleet, and by him referred to the Secretary of
the Navy, was of such character that Dave and Dan received the highest
praise direct from Washington by cable, and afterwards by letter.

They had done their work in the finest American naval style, and had made
a ten-strike against the German mine-layers.

But they took their honors easily, and had need to, for there was still
greater work ahead of them after Belle had used up her few days' leave
and had sailed back to France.
