'The Forgotten Fleet
SYNOPSIS
At the request of Geneva Benet,
daughter of Captain Benet in
charge of a fleet of obsolete vessels
lying at anchor la the Chesapeake,
Donald Colby, an ex-soldier, takes
the job as watchman, despite the
fact that three predecessors have
mysteriously disappeared. Aa Col-
by, Geneva,! and Button, another
watchman, approsch the "Monti
cello,'' on which the girl lives with
bar father, thrceahots and a scream
rent the air. The captain is not
aboard. Colby and If ears, watch-
man of the "If oont Vernon," find
him in a cabin of that ship, dying
from a bullet wound. Asked who
shot him, the captain's eyes turn to
. the figure of a dead man sprawled
on the staircase nearby. Suddenly,
. a sound issues from the passage
way. If ears douses his flashlight.
A figure appears and Colby tackles
- it, A Jet of flame spews forth and
in its light Colby is stunned to see
the features of Geneva. Why was
she on the lfount Vcmonsnd
why had she fired the automatic?
The girl claims she thought he was
"the others.", Colby snaps "Don't
lie! 'Ton knew we were going to
search the 'Mount Vernon. Upon
seeing Captain Benet, Geneva calls
him "Connolly and faints, uon
nolly dies. Colby, suspicions of
everyone, relieves Hears of bis gun
and orders him to take Geneva to
her cabin. Colby then proceeds to
search the dead. The stranger was
well dressed and evidently a uni
versity man. In the smoking room
Colby, finds a jimmy and a chisel.
He wonders how much Mears
knows. Colby goes to see if a key
numbered 313, found on the strang
er, fits cabin Cabin 313. As he ap
proaches Cabin 291, someone fires
, at him. Shortly alter, Mears ap
pears with the news that the other
watchmen have deserted, taking the
only rowboat. Back on the "Monti
cello," Geneva reveals to Colby
that, several years ago, a bogus
Baron von Khrenbreit and bis ac
complice Kraus robbed her mother
of 2250,000 worth of jewels. Since
then her father died. Her mother is
. now a cripple and the family im
poverished. The thieves escaped to
Europe on the "Mount Vernon."
Connolly, a private detective, be
lieved Ehrenbreit and Kraus bid
the gems on board when captured
by the German police and that they
are still there. The prisoners were
eligible for release a few months
ago and Connolly was sure they
would return for the loot That ac
cdunted for his and Geneva's pres
ence on board. A letter found on
the dead stranger reveals that he is
Otto Vogel and that Ehrenbreit
sailed last week. Colby also finds s
scran of paper on which is written:
"The secret lies with the third girl.

men come , in and the' sound of

- CHAPTER Xn
While the air in the closet grew
more Doisonous and sweat stood out
all over his face, Colby wondered at
the iron selx-control of his compan
ion. A rare girl indeed. But now
Geneva Benet twisted a little spas

was agony. Why wouldn't those

Ito lie with low lees awkwardly
asprawl at the feet of a big blond
man who stood ? staring open
mouthed at this sudden dramatic
eruption from the closet.
Let this startled, blunt-zeatured
individual in the dingy seaman's cap
utter but a single cry and at least
one quest for the Benet jewelry
would be .definitely at an end. In
stinctively aware of that fact Colby
hurled himself across the cabin with
the desperate speed of a leopard
seeking to evade a trap. The other
umped back and instead of using
his fists iooushly tried to pull out a
revolver and so was borne heavily
over backwards when Colby's one
hundred and seventy pounds struck
him.
The shock jolted Colby's Colt
from his hand and it struck a wall
with a crash, but the ex-soldier
never heard it, so intent was he in
obtaining a firmer grip on h
enemy's throat. He, though not
especially big. was nevertheless
poweri ui as tnougn nuut of steel
springs and rawhide, and he fought
like a maniac1' v
in the dimly ut cabin began a
struggle which was not less fero
cious for being silent. Uniy tne
Sulck thump of feet and legs nailing
lie gritty floor, Colby's whistling
gasps for breath and the thud of
bodies rolling over and over broke
the stillness. When his enemy's fists
crashed again and again into his
sides and thudded off of his
shoulders, Colby's fingers only sank
the deeper into the pulsing, muscu
lar flesh about the other's throat.
Next his enemy again tried lor a
knife or pistol, but yielding to panic
as suffocation commenced to set in,
unwisely, abandoned his effort and
reached upwards, clawing wildly at
Colby's eyes.
The ex-soldier dodged desperately
and reared his head back as far as
possible, then, on discovering he
could not by this strategy thwart
his long-armed antagonist, suddenly
rolled over with intent to pin one ox
those clawine arms aeainst the edge
of the bunk. The unknown, however,
seized the opportunity to drive his
knee sharply into the pit of Colby's
stomach.
Colbv sragned. saw blinding flashes
of flame before his eyes and felt his
fingers slacken. Only sheer will
power and a glimpse of the girl now
crouching dazedly before the cab
inet steeled him into maintaining
his RIB.
Gradually his enemy's motions
grew feebler and when presently
his straining body relaxed into a
convincing limpness, Colby prompt
ly loosed his grip; no use Killing tne
fellow.

shoulder silently as he might. It

cation of being very sure of what he
was doing and of where the loot was
hidden.
"Had enousrh of this business?"
he demanded suddenly, turning his
flash into her hot. but stui lovely
features.
"No. Have you?"
"Hold the flashlight then."
"What are we going to do?" the
girl breathed, her gray eyes
troubled and wide.
Hold the flash, Sister, and if you
must talk speak quieter.'' Very pre
cise and business-like, Colby with
his jackknife cut the canvas straps
from a pair of life preservers
tucked in a rack overhead, and with
these secured the still unconscious
Hans hand and foot.
As though perfectly decided on
his course of action and only occu
pied with details, Colby applied an
efficient gag contrived of his red
bandanna handkerchief then, pant
ing slightly and with blue eyes
agleam, straightened from his ex
ertions. Now listen. Sister." he directed
in clipped accents that seemed to
issue without movement from those
narrow brown lips, "I'm going be
low to keep an eye on Ehrenbreit.
Go up on deck and find Mears no

"Mean don't you think V
"Do what I say; If he gets ray
I can handle him?'
An incredulous smile flitted over
Geneva Benet's features. "Mears
and the German's crowd as well?"
Yes. I've handled tougher hom-
bres than that" He wiped his face
on his sleeve and running fingers
through his rumpled red hair went
on. "Tell him to meet me in front
of cabin 322. He'd know where that
is?"
"Yes. But but it's too risky."
Geneva Benet looked quite con
cerned. "They might see you and
there are at least four of them."
"Three now," Colby corrected
with a reckless smile and pointed to
the German lying bound and appar
ently still unconscious on the settee.
The girl looked a little wonder-
ingly at this wiry brown figure tow
ering over her. "Suppose I can't
findMears?"
Stay up on deck. I want you to
in any case."
"Whatl You aren't going to
tackle those three men alone?"
"A quarter of a million's worth

looked ten years younger, "and so

him she quite suddenly paused and

The light was '. out so she saw
nothing of the curious expression
which swept over the ex-soldier's
scarred features. - : '
When Geneva Benet's last faint
footfalls had faded away, he thrust
the Colt into his trousers belt, un
buttoned his coat and made his way
down to D deck and there tiptoed
forward until he became aware of a
curious: hissing noise which grew
steadily louder until it sounded in -the
Mount Vernon' m hull like the
warning of some colossal serpent.
An icy rivulet of apprehension
chilled his spine when to his nose
came the faint reek of burning .

When he turned a corner and en
tered the passage off which Number
313 opened he paused abruptly. A
narrow section of the passage
panels were reflecting an unearthly
blue light! It apparently was beat
ing out of the door of cabin 313. In
stantly there flashed into Colby's
mind a vision of Etta Pike's smoky
lunchroom, of the pimply boy speak
ing of 'ha'nts, and of Hhem queer
blue lights' seen by the Widow Oa
burne. Ex-Colonel Colby was stOl a good
hundred feet away when he defi
nitely recognized the origin of the
noise. Clearly Ehrenbreit's hench

"ilea, Hans can take care of him

Colby drew nearer and watched
the play of the electric blue glare
now and then eclipsed by some man's

of lanterns In there.
