Chapter S5 FIRST STEP HAD hauled In the Jib and ai Juat moTlng aft to help tidy np. when I aa arreated bj a audden ex clamation from Jlmmr. See that bloke over there, air? Wonder where 'e'e come from?" His area were Hied on the factory, and turning my head anarpiy i caught eight of the Intruder. He was atandlng about thirty yarda from the shore, a little way outside the barbed Iwlre fence. From under one arm pro truded a long double-barreled gun, and beside bis feet crouched a big rough-coated dog. He waa a broad-shouldered, sturdi ly built man ot between forty and fif ty, dressed In dark clothes and wear. Ing leather gaiters. I watched him for a moment ana then made my way to where the oth er two were standing. "That muat be our friend Gowl land," I said. "Out after rabblta, 1 suppose." Jerry grunted. "Don't know what he's after, but he seems to be pre cious Interested In us. Shall I lire him a hail?" Aa he spoke I saw the dog lift Us head, and a rlclous anarl echoed acrosa the water. It waa anawered promptly by a deep growl from George. "No, let him alone for the pres ent," I replied. "Aa you said your- eulf, we don't want to rush things." With a gruff word f command, the stranger shouldered his gun and, turning on his heel, began to walk slowly away. Something peculiar In his gait struck me at once, but be fore I could remark on it, Molly had caught me by the sleeve. "Nick," she whispered, "he's drunk." He can't be at this hour ot the imori ornlng," I objected. But he Is. I oan see It from here. J Look at the way he's lurching about!" "Well, be hanged to him anyhow! broke In Jerry cheerfully. "Let's go below and hare some grub." liTTOW about It, Nick?" 1 1 I hoisted myself from the bunk where I had been lying amolt lng, and looked at my watch. The time was close on eleven o'clock. "I'm all In favor of getting to work," I said. "We've lots to do and the sooner we make a move the bat tor." ; "Where shall we begin?" Inquired (Molly. ! "Well, as a first step, I think the Iwlsest thing would be If Jerry and I had a look round." ; Her face fell a trifle. "Oh I Can't 1 jeome too?" - "I'd rather you didn't not until we see how the lanit lies. I don't sup ipose there's anything to worry bout, but It would be Just as well to 'do a little bit of preliminary scout 'lng." "You think" she paused "you think they may have followed ua down here?" "It's not Impossible," I replied. !"Orlofr must have heard something eibou'. our plans or he wouldn't have laskad you those questions." "Seems a shame to leave you be hind," struck In Jerry, "but It you jWouldn't mind stopping on board Just for this morning . . ." "Why, of course not." She smiled. "You needn't be so tactful, Jerry. I 'promised to obey orders." J "My Idea Is this." 1 explained. "We'll go ashore together and take (George with us aa If we were giving Ihlra a run. While Jerry's playing ;about and throwing sticks for blm, It'll amuse myself by having a little walk. 1 suppose there's a path of some sort that leads up to the farm?" "There's a path all right," replied Jerry. "It Joins the road at the back of the factory." He leaned forward and knocked out his pipe. "What's the Idea, Nick?" "Nothing definite. Just going to have a smell round, that's all. I went to get hold of Mrs. Gowllsnd when that husband of hers Is out of the way." "Why not take along the Jug and ask for some milk? Glre you a chance to see what she's like." "That's a btlght Idea!" i H. E. POSTPONES MEET JACKSONVILLE.

Wf an examine It properly later." "I feel horribly like Cinderella," said Molly. "Sitting at borne whlli you two go out to a party." "Ob, I say! Jerry glanced at her trifle uncomfortably. "Look hero, If you'd rather . . ." Nonsense, I was only Joking. I shall be quits happy here with Jimmy." She Jumped up. "Alter all, I've had my share of adventure. Its your turn to get Into trouble now." "We'll be back as soon as we can, assured her; "then we'll hare a cabinet council and report progress. If we've Inspected Mrs. Gowlland and the factory, It will be something to go on at least." Putting on my cap and taking down the milk Jug from the rack, I led the way out into the well. The other two followed, and after a brief glance at the aky, which waa still covered with threatening clouds, Jerry scrambled aft and began to haul up the dinghy. M OLLY remained beside me, her the cheerless prospect. 'Look, Nick!" she said suddenly. "Isn't that a mast sticking up there behind those trees?" She waa pointing Inland, where the eetuary, now reduced to a nai row mud-bordered creek, mado a sharp bend to the north. A little dis tance beyond the turn, stood a clus ter of straggling elms and amongst them, plainly visible through a gap In the foliage, rose .'he slender spar of some small anchored craft. "Seen that, Jerry?" I asked, as he arrived back with the painter. He nodded. "Probably one ot the Burnham lot come through out of the Crouch: They use this way some times If they don't draw too much water." He stared at It reflectively I suppose you've got those keys on you?" "Here they arc." 1 said. "The blr. one unlocks the gate In the fence, and the other lets you Into the b'illd Ing. They're both labelled." "Good!" He slipped them Into his pocket and, accompanied br George. dropped down Into the dinghy. I was Just preparing to follow him when Molly put her hand softly on mine. "Take care of youraolf, Nick," she whispered. The tide had aheady run down to such an extont that the bank was now not more than thirty yards dis tant, nstend of being partially sub merged, th-j end of the Jetty stood out some three fee above the wa ter, and sculling lelsuroly up to It, Jerry grabbed hold ot the rusty chain which served as a hand-rnll. "This will be pleanor than the shore," he observed. "We can push oft from here without getting our feet muddy." He made the painter tnst to an Iron ring, and preceded by George, I clambered cautiously ashore. The steps were coated with wot slime, and festoons of green weed trailed down trom the sodden timber. "I wonder Avon doesn't look after, his property a bit better," I com-J plained. "The whole place seems to be going to rack and ruin." Jerry shrugged his shoulders.,' "Oh, It waa only a makeshift Job run up during the war. 1 don't Imagine It's ever been used since at least only tor Osborne's experiments." He led the way along the slippery planking until we reached the firm ground ncyond, whore I turned round to ! a good-bye to Molly, who was still watching us from the deck. "Feel like coming inside first?" he added, "or would you rather push along to the farm straight away?" "1 think I'll stick to my original plan," I replied. "We're In for a regular ducking trom the look of It, and I'd like to get this Job over be fore It starts." "Perhaps you're right. I'll Just have a nose round, and then if you're not back I'll probably stroll along and meet you." He glanced once more in the di rection ot the elms. "Unless It's pouring with rain we might walk over afterwards and take a squint at that boat. Always a good thing to make sure who one's neighbors are. "So It occurred to me." I admit ted. "I waa going to siiccest f, my self only you ..." "1 didn't want to frighten Molly. She's hsd enough shocks alroady, and besides, I wouldn't mind betting a hundred to one that It's some per fectly harmless chap cruising around for his own amusement." tCopyrtght.
