"The Forgotten Fleet I by VAN WYCK MASON , SYNOPSIS Oa a wharf is Paroxtown, Maryland, ex-Colonel Donald Col by, late AiD.C to General Gonaalo Gotierrex, beats up Tod Ferguson, burly . oysterman, for insulting Genera Benet, daughter of Capt. ' Beaet of the "Amerika." Ferguson was fired by Benet and Infers some one was murdered oa the snip. Later, Genera confides ia Colby that she had brought two men from Leoaardtowa to work for her fa ther. "They ware afraid to stay but yoa wouldn't be," she says. A new look creeps into Colby's eyes. "Young lady," be demanded crisp ly, "shall we talk?" : CHAPTEB III ? In the dingy deserted waiting room of the bus line, the two stood for some instants frankly apprais ingjeaeh other. "Yon," abruptly observed Donald Colby, "are not from Patuxtown aoreren from Maryland." "What makes yon think sot" "Shoes." His facs darkened, ss Kold ghosts were coming out of ding. - Used to know people who wore shoes like that and " suits tailored like yours. Where are yon from?" -'" :- " i - "If I were to ask yon the same enestion,". countered the girl erenly, "would you answer I". .- "No." He saw before him a girl who was strikingly beautiful though not the pretty-pretty type her wide .mouth precluded that There was a muscular, adequacy to her figure which was sublimated to wholly feminine curres. She wore a dark brown cloche, the brim of which was - pulled down to a level of wide and sweeping brows. Who or what had drawn those tense, strained lines about her eyes ana mouth? .What was this gray-eyed girl in those once smart tweeds doing in such a dreary backwater 'of Chesapeake Bay? She had, he decided, the alert and earnest look of one who has set a difficult goal and who proposes, come what may, to reach it. By the orange-yellow glare of the single thirty watt bulb, Genera Benet aaw before her a tall, broad shouldered young man who might hare been thirty, but who probably was lire years older. Waa there a certain hard gallantry in hjs eyes? Ehe wondered what had become of those decorations whose catch marks were still risible above his left breast pocket. Why had he turned up in Patuxtown, now of all times? Coincidence? Nov She had ceased to call that an explanation. Those other strangers she bad heard about would they recognize . this lean individual with the search ing eyes and silent looking mouth? She must, she cautioned herself, be careful very, very carefuL . "Ws may as well sit down," she ebserved and set the example by sinking rather gracefully on an uncomfortable plank bench, "since there are sereral things I must tell you." . t . "Who are you?" 1 - 5 "Genera Benet," said she. "And you?" ' ; "Call me Donald Colby." He smiled thinly. "I hope you're not expecting too much of me?". : , "No, I'm not," she . replied fromptly. "I'm gambling en you have to hare somebody" - "A port in a storm, en?" "Maybe. But 111 play fair and not attempt to hide anything you." she emphasized the word, "ought to know." As she talked her tapering brown fingers began to pick nerv ously at the frayed handle of her handbag. "Until two weeks ago there couldnt have been a stupider more monotonous Job, but now there is - definite ' danger aboard those old liners. They're laid up by the Shipping Board, you know, waiting purchasers which I'm sore will never appear." , "I've already heard about thai." "Ch really? I live with Father en the UenticeUa, and since Fergu son quit we haven't been able to get anybody to sign on. It's the inex plicable and complete -disappearance of those three men that scares off the local heroes." She grew elaborately detached. "Taking this 6b calls for for well, a different nd of courage these old dying ships are big, silent and lonely and at night they're terribly dark and depressing." She flung the chal leng? squarely at him and he recog . nize 1 it with a tight, twisted smile. "Unr, neatly put. Hiss Benet. You male it very hard te refuse.

Why do you keep a job with such obvious risks ? Surely the pay you get can't be worth it The girl's smooth, slightly sun burned face contracted and her eyes, losing their directness, be came veiled and wandered aside. "I went quit and Father can't" Why?" Her voice sank to a dull monotone that nevertheless filled the dreary waiting room. "We haven't a cent beside what the Shipping Board pays him. Father is an old man, and it's hard even for the young sters these days." Imperceptibly the , Impression came home that this girl in. the brown tweed suit was not telling the "Lord," murmured the recruit, truth, but be only said, "I see. What does the job call for?" "Cleaning gear, testing appara tus and keeping people off. The pay is forty a month and board. If you fed like signing on for the usual two month .contract you can come along with me now. Will you?" For all her carelessness he de tected a tension back of her words. It waa obvious she wanted him to come; wanted him badly. Why? Why did she need a guard so ur gently? One long brown hand crept ap to stroke his chin and a reckless sparkle played at the beck of bis deep set eyes. "Why not? . It will be a new experience to be hired by s woman. And well, I'd like to take a look at your fleet of forgotten ships.--Sounds like a movie title," hs added with a short laugh. "Well, what next?" ': )"We11 go down to Point Patience it isnt far, but first Pre got to stop at theJPost Office. Where are your things?" " ', "Duf3e's oa the pier. Ma'am.

"I dont want to seem melodramatic but do you happen-to have a pis tol T" - ' ?-.. . "No.? Colby said. "I er quit my last job so fast I didn't bars time to bring it along.". "Oh, I see: It didn't happen te be the police who hurried your resig nation?" She looked at him search ingly.

Mrs. Eugene Hoffer under went a major operation at the local hospital Thursday morn ing. Mystery" mained silent an instant, sighed. "Needs must." then "Thanks," said he. "Ill remem- ber that." Perhaps half an hour later Colby followed the girl's slight, erect fig ure along a path of duckboards and down a low bluff which brought them to the edge of the Patuxent. Somewhere high above, a full moon was fighting to pierce the mist and only succeeded in creating a curi ous milky atmosphere; the effect was ghostly, almost unreal, Colby realized. . "Here we are," she announced. "At the end of this silly pier I'll hall for a boat" A puff of wind momentarily thinned the ail very fog and Colby looked ahead, to be shaken by a queer sense of apprehension. There "talk about the Sargasso Seal" towering incredibly high above this peaceful wooded shore loomed a dump of gigantie steamer funnels, slender masts and cargo booms. Familiar enough when seen In Man hattan, New Orleans or Jersey City, but here amid the silence of the de serted backwater the vista was overwhelmingly desolate. - Colby halted and lowered his sea bag, completely awed by this curi ous sight The great moored liners seemed like grotesque and impos sible cathedrals rising sheer from meadows and misty river. There waa bo light, not the least sign of life about them as they lay there some seventy-five yards off shore. The scene was not only unique, he, appreciated, but creative of a tre mendous feeling of unrest, suggest 1 ivs i of vaguely hinted evil things and of old ghosts creeping out of hiding. - - A loir Instant he was' able to view an impressive silhouette of bridges, Bf e boats and ventilators of erary spider webs of rigging and funnel guys, then a fresh blanket of fo mrA eh mm. efadentlv as a teacher's damp cloth clears a blaekhoard. . - "Lord," murmured the recruit, "talk about the Sargasso Seal" --The girl had reached the end of the pier and now cupped her hands. "MotUieeUo, ahoy!" Her voice, sur prisingly strong and dear, im pinged oa invisible steel plates and ; came eerily .back out of the fog "lInticell-0, ahoy-y-yi" iu s35 -Why, he asked himself, should three watchmen have disappeared from these ships?

To the. 284 acres grown here last year were- added 30 acres: Lawrence and Clarence Zielinski. 10; T. A. Van Cleave and son. 6; Charles Zielinski, 5: Max Woods, 3.5; Lowery, 2.5; W H.

Joseph Zielinski raised an acre of certified plants, part of which he planted on his 80-acre farm near Corrallis- It is so dry that It has been nec essary to irrigate the market gar dens on Lake Labish. Usually the problem Is to have the lake land dry enough to plant in March and April.
