They could not lift over the coast range that blocked them from Callente Held. The vibration would get steadily worse. Already the whirling crankshaft was putting an Impossible strain on the connecting-rods. Within min utes one of them would give; then, if the big motor did not fly apart. It would stall. The plane was nose heavy. HE turned to call to Wlnslow to tell him to bank and attempt a return up the coast to Coronado and San Diego. The engine clattered suddenly.

But Frank ... a car met them." "A cart Where'd It go?" The man with Wlnslow lifted bis irm and repeated the gesture Qraham had observod. "Took tha Enclnada road." he laid. "What's down there, Spin?" asked Frank. "Just a Mex town, seventy miles south of here. There's a kind of a harbor, and south of It a thousand miles of the world's lousiest road." "When did they leave?" "About an hour ago. Two men, and the girl from the plane, and the guy who was waiting with the car." "How did Miss Kent look?" Their Informant swayed his shoul ders and blinked bis eyes; It waa a poor Imitation of an Intoxicated per Ott. "Can tha act," warned Wlnslow gruffly. THE man sbruggod hla shoulders . and aald, "It ain't Illegal In this country. They looked kind of blotto If you ask me. Except the little guy with th eagle-beak.

Me then suggested that tbe beach at Encln ada could be landed on If th tide were out, "Thanks, old man," asld Qraham. "We'll get along." They lifted out of the Held and roared acrost the low range that lay between them and the coast, Thty arms across '.tit face. Hot oil seared bis neck. . Wlnslow cried out unintelligibly. The plane lurched, leveled, and Frank was conscious of a shock and the sounds of cracking and of rend ing about him. Sea water, In a never-ending cascade, poured over bis head. He struggled with hla safety belt and stood erect. Through the hlsa of breaking seas, Wins ow called to him In a vole charged with anxiety, Frank replied hoarsely, "Okay, How about you. Spin?" "Same ht.-e. Was that a wet smack I Meet th world'a best crack up man. On th stunt-man's day oft he crashes " A black-throated comber reared Ita crest above them. Frank clung desperately aa tons of spurn sluiced about blm. Wlnslow sputtered, "Get asbore, Frank. Crate won't float long. An other like that . . . Shore's not far. Road's half a mile back. You can make It. 1 think we're tar enough ahead to stop that car If you make tbe road. ..." A awell lifted them and dropped them alckenlngly Into tha trough. "Missed ua. Frank. Next on won't. Get going, fella'." Grahame looked seaward. A long, sullen line of surf was forming a hundred yards out. Swiftly It began to move toward them topped w!U phosphorescent spindrift, "Com on. Spin, a big one's com ing." Spin did not answer. Frank strained hla eyes toward him, a sud den fear gripping his heart, lis mad out his companion's fact, whit agalnat th black sea. "dot going. Prank." Wlnslow'i vole was weak. "My arm's on th bum . . . besides, t can't awlm any way! . . ." Tb black bulk of th oncoming comber arose; It blotted out th stare.
