Coming ashore, Michel is left onboard to keep the Spindrift secure, while Jack Armstrong and his friends go to find the commander of the Army troops. Uncle Jim describes the rough terrain and his experience in visiting here years ago.
The army entry shares that he has heard about the Spindrift, and has been alerted to expect her. As Jack and his crew arrive at the headquarters, Betty comments on the facility. Welcomed by Colonel Burster, he is surprised at the high quality of the recovered uranium.
Uncle Jim wants the Army to guard the uranium, so the crew can look for the missing professor Lorrie. Rumors of danger arrive. What is so interesting to Jack about a wristwatch? It also has extra gadgets on it like a pedometer. The Lieutenant reports another such watch, and uncle Jim is sure the native who had it will know something about professor Lorrie.
