Excerpt: ...Eagle, heeling her over considerably. "Are we going down?" "Oh, I guess not," replied Bob confidently. He and Mr. Tarbill were together on the quarterdeck.

"What's all the excitement about?" suddenly asked Captain Spark, appearing at the head of the ladder that led to the quarterdeck. "The ship has been struck by a monster whale!" exclaimed the nervous passenger, "He's rammed us, captain, and I'm going to get a life-preserver! Then I must save my valuables in my cabin!"
