Chapter Four ABOUT LANGTON ' TpHH world remembered with sense of shock and grlet the vanishing of the flyer Langton. contemporary and friend of the al most squally famous Qrahame, ' Langton bad disappeared at some point on his course during that flight that was to have taken him from Valparaiso on a wide aro along the Andes and up through Central Amer ica to New York. That mystery was quite recent In the public mind. It grieved sincerely lor tne loss or its beloved Idol In the wake of tbe Caribbean hurricane. me uuir and Caribbean coasts were combed from New Orleans to the mouth of tbe Amazon. During tne nrst frenzied search It was ex pected o find Langton encamped on aome forgotten beach like a modern Crusoe. Later, after weeks of sys tematic and painstaking beachcomb ing In the literal sense of tbe word with no trace pt airplane wreck age found, the searchers were forced to subscribe to tbe popular theory that Langton and his land plane bad (one down at sea. It had been demanded that Frank Grahame be recalled from the Orin oco headwaters country to assist In tbe search, hut this was manifestly Impossible as Grahame'i portable radio set was no longer communi cating with civilization. When Anally Grahame emerged from the Jungle with tbe remnants of the Cadwallader party. It was natural that he be asked for his theory aa to Langton's disappear . ance. His theory, however, was not accepted with much credence. It was a tittle Incredible. The odds, certainly were against bis being ngat. For one thing, while there were thousands of miles of ooast, any part of which might have been 'the acene of Langton's crash, Grahame'a misty theory localized It as having happened along only a certain few hundred miles of It the east coast of Yucatan; more over, he believed that Langton bad gone down not on the coast or tbe ea nearby, but In tbe country west of that particular strip of coast line. "OU see," he told the board of In vestlgatlon, "Langton had made shorter bops over that route." He put his Anger on a large map on the table. "Langton would have swung up the east coast of Nicaragua and Honduras, crossed the Gulf of Hon duras and then flown straight over Tucatan toward the Mexican Gulf. It Is probable that the storm caught blm near Yucatan. "But," tbe board objected. "Granting that such might have been the case, he would have been flying Into a wind from the north, which according to tbe laws of hurricanes would bear mora toward the east aa the storm progressed. That, Grahame, would causa him to drift but Into the Caribbean." "True," replied Qrahame, "that Is, If we were talking about almost any body except Langton. Langton waa a good flyer, and knew bis storms. Seems to me be could have pulled out of most any blow . . . Another .point . . . while that wind would have bitted toward tbe east, aa you say. nevertheless the hurricane Itaalf would travel oa a westward aweop. miiiusi ground apeea was close to two handred. Just what It actually waa or what his oourse waa with the eanoas elements ot wind currents boffetlni aim. la Impracti cal to Oinr with any aoenracy. It waa aa off-eeasoa honicane too, whlob aiai not have acted like a usual one. "Call U a hunch, gentlemen, but I believe Laogtoa erashed on land wltbla reasonable distance ot the aat ooaat el Ynoaun.? Orahame's theory received Its bare ol publicity bnt It was not generally accepted, Bla qaeetloners left the subject at that point and asked him about his own aaeda. Tor Orshame was some thing of a hero himself. There were few who had not heard o Urabame, F. A Orahame. Tha newspapers bad made much of his Initials whea he bad returned from Veneauela some months after the Langton mystery. F. A., Forci of Arms Grahame they called blm, NO white man had penetrated so far, or so forcefully for that mat ter, tbe upper reaches of the Orin oco. He found Cadwallader'a party, or what had been left ot It, and re turned as viciously efficient as he went. The dramatic inferences ot his foat had been lost upon Grahame. He had guided that party of scientists Into the country to stay until the rains forced them out All of thorn had been capable men and Grahame had left them fully equipped to cope with their tew months sojourn In the Jungle and to come out as soon aa they pleased. But nearly a year had passed when relatives and sponsors, frantic for 1 Church of Christ . Challenges Claim Saturday Sabbath (Contributed.)
