Jim Mallory't yt ran along deck to where the girl aat amidships. Curly Bates oams and put a olearat be. tween hla Hps and hold a matoh, "They'va put a dama onto you, Spike." "I'll watoh my atap," Jim answered, sightseer aboard. It waa quite) awlm, front shore. How deeo is it here?" "Six fathoms." - ' "In English, I mean." "About 38 feet" "Deep enough ' to drown In." Mary Laraen said, shivering a little. Jim Mallory glanced shoreward. The white) palm-fringed beach was pretty far. The man whs had sent her was a fool; he must oe paying ner well. Jim wu about to tell her to clear out and swim back when Blaeksheep called from the galley. "Grub, Spike suh." And that gave him an idea. He might learn some, tiling from her. He said. "Sat with usT ItH be beans and bacon, bread and eof fee. If you can take It" l can taka it Thanks." CHE followed him down into the tug's crowded cabin. Ha gave her a sweater to cover her bare shoulders. She thanked him with a smile. It wu a nice, warm and friendly smile, and he took It and looked away. Curly came in, sat down, and wolfed the food Blaeksheep served. Curly didn't like women aboard ship, and sulked with re sentment. . Blaeksheep, however, wu pleased. He'd opened a can of peaches for the visitor. He hovered about for a time, then reluctantly went back to the gal ley. The girl said, "I didn't know they came to colorful." , ; "Oh, Blaeksheep is a Cayman," Jim Mallory said. "Nice fellow. His sweet disposition comes from being raised on Bahama sugar cane. But" he looked squarely at ine girl -out ne can be tougn." She missed the point of that, and asked, "Is his name really inatT" . "So he claims." Jim started to eat, watching the girl with . covert dances. She wasn't tough; she wu definitely tne opposite, and there wu Intel' llgence in her eyes. He began to think that she wasn't just another girl. He was surprised that such a girl was mixed up In this thing. It proved what he had suspected that the thins wu olentr bis. She ate as he liked to see people eat even though the food wasn't much. She was still eating after he was finished, and after Curly Bates had left the cabin. She caught Curly's sour look m he went to deck. "He doesn't like m. mhm M "And you don't either." "What makes you think I don't?" 'Your eyu do a narrowina act every time you look at me. It makes me squirm. It's disconcerting." She didn't seem- offended. Sha finished her coffee and sat back to watch Jim as he filled his pipe. A smile came and went on her lips. She turned trownlngly sober, u if she just remembered she hadn't come aboard solely to eat his food. She said, "Spike, could I ask you a question?" TIE took the unllghted pipe from hi. niith t ..... nr. He knew what the Question would be. He had been ap proached before, rasa weeks ago first by a man who offered him a bribe. The amount of the bribe had bean doubled later, over the telephone, and then two days ago a man had phoned and threatened him. He could stand oft bribes and threats, and this girl too. He knew the ship's location but he wasn't going to reveal it until he learned why that sunken ship waa so Important ' "You can ask," he said, "but you won't be answered. I know your little game, my dear, and it won't work. Go back to the man who pays you and tell him he'll have to try more than a pretty faee." He saw how startled she looked: her eyes widening and her lips quivering. She gripped the edge of the table, u if to brace herself. 1 wanted to ask a civil aues- ttota," she said. "I suppose a civil answer was too much to expect from a member of a tug's crew. From a diver who fancies himself quite a tough fellow." She threw off the borrowed sweater and started to rise. Jim Mallory reached out and gripped her wrist He jerked her back into the chair. Keeping his grip on her arm, he could feel her trembling with anger. He'd had a sudden inspiration. She didn't know Spike was Jim Mallory, it seemed, and so maybe Spike could play her game and learn some thing. "Maybe you better talk," to said. "Go on, talk. I like mat sound of your voice. Who sent you here, baby?" But he saw by the fury in her eyes that she wouldn't talk. (To Be Contmoed) lr5 J wpuiauon over Lm.
