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.

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

Orabame returned to And that the
newspapers had dramatized him.
They hailed him as tha last practi

ones scented a story because of the
quantity of ammunition billed him
by a New York eportlng gooda firm
and the amount he returned tor
credit Newa like that leaka out
Drudgingly af first then resigned
ly he answered questions. They
wanted to know If he had met with
any resistance on the way and how
he had bandied It
Orahame grinned. "Sure I met
with resistance aa you call It I, well
... I handled It"
However the newspapermen dis
covered that Qrahame could be
articulate when he wanted to be; It
was sll a matter ot tempting him
Into t' .it mood. He'd been a war
time . i . after which he had flown
Unclr . ..ni's mall for a time. He waa
known :n countries other than tha
United States.
He waa tall, good-looking per
haps evea handsome If one could
overlook oertatn grim lines about his
month; at any rate his blue eyes,
wide aboaldera and lean Jawi
photographed well. Swashbuckling
descriptions of him gave romance to
Binu;l,-y halftones. He had all the
equipment tor good news copy.
