CONTRABAND By DENNIS WHEAT LEY II CHAPTER XXII Inspector Gerry Wells was the lucky one this time, lie very defi nitely had the soft side of the deal and, while the wretched Gregory was still hurtling through the air in fear ef an imminent and horrible death, the Inspector turned his plane northwestward, heading back towards Thanet. He was not risking any more night landings in the fields outside Quex Park without adequate reason, so came down on the well-lit landing ground of the Royal Air Force Depot at Manston, about mid way between Quex Park, Margate and Ramsgate. Having presented his official card to the officer on duty, the courtesy of accommodation for his plane was extended to him and ne managed to get a lut in a car to Margate where, feeling that he Had earned a comfortable nights rest, he went straight to the Queen's Highcliffe HoteL Early rising was a habit with Gerry Wells. Splashing in his bath at half past six he only controlled the impulse to burst into song at the ' thought of the -other guests who were still sleeping. He was not on duly worried about Gregory, be cause he knew the care with which service parachutes are packed and inspected. It never even occurred to him that the great silk balloon might fall to open. While the Inspector dressed he reviewed the situation and found it good. His Investigation had pro gressed by leaps and bounds in the last i forty-eight hours, thanks of course largely to that lean, queer, cynical devil, Gregory Sallust. He assumed, quite reasonably, not knowing what a tiger Gregory could be when he had got his teeth into a thing, that his ally, stranded in Boraney Marshes, would spend the night at some local inn, whether he had! secured any information or not and, therefore, it was roost unlikely that he would put in an appearance again much before noon. There was nothing Wells could do to further his inquiry until Gregory turned np and the golden August morning lay before him. His thoughts gravi tated again towards Milly and Quex Park. Had Sabine spent the night there or gone off again after all? In any ease it obviously seemed bis business to go over and find out, After an early breakfast he paid bis bill and left the hotel. Crowds of holiday makers had risen early too. Gerry Wells watched them with a smile. He liked to see people hap py but he wondered what they would think if they knew of his last night's adventure. On the corner he managed to get a place in a Canterbury bus, already crowded with happy trippers off to see the old cathedral town and the blood-stained stone where Thomas a Beckett had been foully done I to death by the three knights so many hundreds of years ago. He dropped off at Birchington ehcrchyaid in which Dante Gabriel RosetU lies buried but he did not pause to visit the poet's grave. In stead he turned op Park Lane; bis thoughts very much with the living. Outside the west gate of Quex Park he met his man who was keeping in touch with Mrs. Bird. "Anything fresh, Thompson?" be sked. "No, sir, nothing. There've been no more visitors since you left last night and Mrs. Bird tells me the lady who came down by car slept in the place. She's still there as far as I know." .W!is nodded and walked on. eg; the wooded driveway then, skirting the back of the museum he reached the side entrance to the house. Mrs. Bird appeared from . the kitchen garden with a basket' full of runner beans just as he reached the door, and she confirmed Thomp son's report. 1 "When the foreign lady turned up she had her bit of supper," she said, "and told me she meant to stay the night. I always keep a couple of bedrooms ready because that's his lordship's orders. After her meal she went straight up without a word except that I wasn't to call her until she rang for breakfast." Milly came out at that moment and smiled shyly at the Inspector. He nodded to her cheerfully., "We're on the right track now, but it's a matter j of - waiting1 until noon, or rather until Mr. Sallust turns up again and I doubt if hell be here much before then.' I've got to kick my heels around for the next few hours and so I was wonder ing . . ." I Wondering what?" MOly asked him. ! "Well, my plane's at Manston aerodrome, only a couple of miles away and I was wondering if you would like to come up for a flight." . Muly paled a little under her creamy skin. "I I think it would be rather fun with you." "You don't mind, Mrs. Bird?" he asked the older woman. "As long as you bring her back safe I don't, but airplanes are tricky tmngs, aren t tneyj . f i x "Not if they're looked after prop erly" I Milly looked at Mrs. Bird. "You're sure you don't mind. Aunty?" "Of course I don't, my pet, as long as you take care. Kur along now and enjoy yourself." Gerry and the girl left the back of the house and made their way by the side path through the shrubbery out onto the east drive. Both were silent for a few minutes, racking their brains for a subject ef con versation. Then Gerry glanced to wards the old tower which rose out of a coppice some hundred yards away to their right with the steel structure on its top which looked like a miniature Eiffel Tower, and could be seen above the treetops of the park for many miles in all directions. . i ; "What's that place?" he asked. "Apart, I mean, from the fact that they may use it now as a signal sta tion to guide their planes in." "It's called the Waterloo tower, I think." she said, "built in the year of the. battle, you know, and it has a peal of bells, twelve of them, the finest in Kent op to a few years ago. Canterbury Cathedral had oniy ten, until they added another couple and came equal with this lot here. There's another tower over there too," she glanced towards their left where a tall brick building crowned a low fenced-in : mound that rose from the grass land. "The old gar dener told me that Major Powell Cotton's father was awfully keen on ships and things; so he used to signal from it to bis friends in the navy when they sailed across the bay. The sea is hidden from us here by the trees but it's only m mile away." i - A few moments later they reached the park gates and took the side road through the open cornfields towards Mansion. They were silent for a good portion of their two mile walk but strangely happy in each other's company. At the flying field a friendly me- .. 1 chanic lent Milly a leather coat and she was soon Installed in the observ er's seat of Wells' Tiger Moth, a little scared, but even more excited ' at starting on her first flight. For nearly an hour they cruised : over eastern Kent, first along the : northern shore over Birchington, Heme Bay and Whitstable, then southeast to Canterbury, where the towers of the ancient cathedral, lift- . ing high above the twisting streets I of the town, were thrown up by the strong sunlight which patterned the , stonework like delicate lace against the black shadows made by its em- brasures. - "Well, how did you like it?", Gerry Wells turned to glance over " his shoulders as he brought the plane to a halt once more on the i Manston landing ground. "It it was fine," Millie said a little breathlesly. Her cheeks were glowing with a gentle flush from the I swift wind of their flight and her blue eyes were sparkling in her deli cate little face with happy exhila-; ration. ' ; j As Wells helped her out of the plane he had not the least twinge of conscience at having neglected his duties for an hour or so to give her the experience. When they reached the house they went into Mrs. Bird's sitting room and found a lanky, unshaven, bedraggled figure lounging in one of . the worn armchairs. It was Gregory and he was in none too good a humour. , He smiled at them with a cynical twist of his thin lips. "Well, you had a good time I hope? Thinking of settling down in Thanet for a holiday?" Gerry Wells raised his eyebrows.' "So you're back already? I hardly thought you'd be likely to get here before noon." "It'a lucky I'm here at all," snapped Gregory. "Having risked my neck with that blasted parachute of yours. Still, I've been kicking my heels here about two hours, while you've been disporting yourself, I gather, with the intention of show ing Miss Chalf ont what a mighty fine pilot you are." Milly went crimson. J Wells drew his shoulders back a little as the girl fled from the room. "I don't like your tone, Mr. Sallust, but don't let's " quarrel over that. Did you have any luck when you landed?" Gregory shrugged. "As I sur vived the ordeal it is almost inevit able that I should. Their headquar ters down there is a little place called the Brown Owl Inn. It'a miles from anywhere in the middle of the marshes but near the railway line running from Dungeness to Ashford. I had to stagger a milt through every aort of muck before I got near enough to see what was going on and by that time most of the planes had dumped their stuff and got off again. The interesting thing is, though, that while I was there a freight train came in from Dungeness and unloaded several hundred wooden cases, then the cases the planes had brought were loaded on to it instead, and it puffed out, presumably to London. After wards the stuff from the train was loaded on to a fleet of trucks which duly trundled away inland; all the gang who had handled both sets of goods going with them. The two different lota of cases, which were swapped over, bad exactly the same appearance, by the way." --' (To Be Continued) 7rU. lilt, av K raster ta4iraa, laa. rstriTs (8 lying Frlceal (Tfc price below supplied by local , v-. miMui, i ipt uaiiy soaraet price paid to growera by 8alcm buyers bat ar net guaranteed by The Stat aoaav-; Applet Extra fey. ueDcloua $1.S3 v fey.
