The career of the raider and her crew had been brought to a close, and
before nightfall the boats of the flotilla had regained their
respective ships.
* * * * *
Frank Denbigh is sub-lieutenant no longer, but a full-fledged
lieutenant with the letters D.S.O. tacked on to his name. He has just
received his appointment to a brand-new battle-cruiser, and is about to
serve with the Grand Fleet.
Pat O'Hara is still limping about on one foot somewhere in the Emerald
Isle. He, too, has gained a step in rank, but rather envies his chum's
good luck. Still, there is time for the light-headed Irishman to get
fit again and be in at the death, when, it is to be hoped, the visions
of the trident in the German fist will be shattered for good and aye.
And Stirling? In recognition of his services he is confirmed as
lieutenant-commander of the monitor _Crustacean_. He is still looking
forward to his leave in the Highlands, but meanwhile he is doing good
work in a remote portion of the globe in upholding the glorious
tradition of the real Mistress of the Seas.
