Molly O'Brien fust have been re
leased by Jimmy Fos from a locked
room, under 'Mcft art tons of ex
plosive! lo which a lighted tut
had been attached by I'eter Orloff,
Orloff, a spy, searching tor the
same valuable formula that Unity
and Kick, with Jerry Uordaunt
and Jimmy, ore trailing, ft had be
longed to Holly, but iras stolen
from her by John Osborne. Before
Osborne teas murdered ho had
lived with the Gnwllands, and Jerry

from Mrs. Goulland,
Chapter 4t
EXPLOSION
QUICK as an eel Jimmy twisted
himself around, and thrusting
Molly In front of me, I followed them
down the passage. By the time I
rained the main corridor, Jimmy
had already crossed the hall.
He flung open the door exactly as
Molly reached It, and In another mo
ment the Arm ground was beneath
our feet, and we were all three run
ning far the Iron gate. I was Just
thanking my stare that I hadn't
locked It when with appalling sud
denness the end came.
There was a rumbling roar behind
ns; something struck me Tlolently
between the shoulder blades, and
half paralyzed by a sickening stab
of pain, I pitched forward full length
on the rough gravel.
"GawdlUTUs!"
Jimmy's gasped-out exclamation
was the first thing to penetrate Into
my numbed brain, and struggling up
on to my banda and knees, I stared
vacantly about me.
The whole causeway was littered
with pieces of broken masonry. One
huge block, lust to my right, had
half embedded Itself In the grass,
and stretched out beside It, white
and Inert, lay the prostrate figure of
Molly.
With a horrible fear clutching at
my heart I crawled painfully to
wards her.
"Molly!" I cried. "Molly, darling!"
At the sound of my voice she
opened her eyes. For a moment she
still seemed utterly dated; then as
I slid my arm round ber and lifted
her gently up, life and consciousness
ebbed back Into her face, i
"What's happened, Nick?" she fal
tered. "I I thought we'd air been
killed." '
"It's a miracle we weren't. The
whole place has been blown to
smithereens." I dragged out my
handkerchief, and very tenderly
wiped the dust and mud from her
cheek.
"Are you hurt?" I asked. "Did any
of that stuff hit you?"
"No, I don't think ao. I Just heard
a roar, and then I don't remember
anything else. I guess I must have
fainted or something silly like that."
She drew In a quick breath. "And
you, Nick?"
"Nothing to grumble about," I re
plied. "I stopped a brickbat or some
thing with my shoulder, but It
doesn't seem to have done me any
particular harm.
I looked round for Jimmy and dis
covered him almost at my elbow.
Like both of us be was covered from
head to toot with white dust, and a
thin trickle of blood waa ooslng
from his nose.
"What's up, sir?" he demanded
breathlessly. "The young lady ain't
copped It 'as she?"
"We're both Intact, Jimmy," I s
sured him. "How about you?"
"Me, sir? Oh, I'm fine. Bumped
me nose a bit when I come down but
that ain't nothing."
He wiped away the blood with his
hand and cast a slightly awed
glance at the smoking ruin behind
us. "Made a decent Job of It, 'aren't
they, air? Never seen a better bust
up, not even In the pictures."
IN A sobering flush, the danger of
our position suddenly camo home
to me.
"We mustn't stsy here," I said
hastily. "That devil Orloff can't be
far away, and If he sees that we've
. escaped . . ."
I broke off. "We must get down
under the bank and make for the
boat." I added. "Do you think you
can manage It, Molly?"
With the aid of my hand she
scrambled shakily to hor feet
"Yes. I'm all right, Nick. It's Jerry
1 m thinking of. Oughtn't we . . ."
"He knows what happened," I In
terrupted. "It he's alive he's on his
way back now. Our best chance Is to
lie up under those gorse bushes and
wait for him there."
She raised r further opposition,
and disregarding the unpleasant
pain that was gnawing at my right
shoulder, I led the way forward to
the gate.
From here to the beaeh the dls
lance was not more than fifty yards.
The low-lying ground betwoen was
protected from the tide by r rough

bank we crept along in single Die
until we reached the little patch of
higher ground where we had brought
the dinghy ashore.
To my Intense relief It was still
there.
One of us must look out for Jer
ry," I said. "You'd better do that,
Molly, while we get the boat
launched. Keep behind those bushes,
and don't show yourself unless you
see blm."
Nodding her head silently she
moved towards the gorse, and with
out further delay Jimmy and I set
about our task. It took us some time,
tor I could only make use of my left
arm.
Jimmy, however, performed his
share of the work manfully, and af
ter several pauses for rest, we suc
ceeded In tugging our craft to the
water's edge, from which position
she could be pushed off at a mo
ment's notice.
This done, we crawled back to
where Molly was lying, and dropped
down alongside of her.
There's no sign of him, Nick,
she whispered. "I'm beginning to
feel frightened."
You needn't worry yet, I re
plied. "He's got that pistol of Daw
son's with him, and If thore'a any
trouble he won't stick at using It.
All we can do Is to wait here until
he chooses to show up."
SHE, glanced round at us both.
"You're the most wonderful boy
In the world, Jimmy," she said In a
low voice. "How did you know that
we were locked In, and however did
you manage to get ashore?"
He scratched bis head. "It was
like this, miss. I was sitting up on
deck 'avlng a look at the place when
all of a sudden I see a bloke com In'
sneakln' out of the front door.
"Soon as I clapped my eyes on 'lm
I knew who 'e was. 'Gosh,' I says to
meself, 'If It ain't that bllnkln' doc
tor!' and before the words, as you
might say, was 'ardly out of me
mouth, 'e'd nipped off round the cor
ner and was legging It away up the
road.
"Well, It didn't take me long to
guess that 'e'd done the dlrly on
you, so 1 off with me boots and shirt
and drops In over the side. The tide
was running a bit strong like, but I
ain't what you might call a bad 'and
at swimming got a prize for It al
the Battersea baths last year, I did.
'It was that bloomln door tbsi
was the real trouble. The perlsher
'ad shut It be'lnd 'lm when 'e come
out, and seeing as there weren't nc
time to waste, I Just picks up a bit
o' wood, and bashes In the winder.
"Lucky I did, too, or we wouldn't
'alf be In a mess now."
We both stared at him for a mo
ment without speaking.
"James," 1 said slowly, "as Miss
O'Brien has remarked, you're a
bloody marvel. If we ever got out of
thla . . ."
"Look, Nick, look! There he Is
straight In front of us."
Molly, who had turned round
again, was pointing through the
bushes, and, Jumping to my feet, I
caught sight of the distant figure of
Jerry Just emerging through a gap
In the hedge that hounded the lane.
He was heading In the direction
of the factory.
"Shall I give Mm a whistle, sir?"
Inquired Jimmy.
"Not a bad Idea," I agreed.
He Inserted two grimy fingers In
to the corners of his mouth and emit
ted a shrill blast. Jerry pulled up
sharply.
For a moment he stood gazing
about him, and then as a second snd
still more penetrating summons
echoed across the marsh, he wheeled
round and came hurrying towards
us.
"You'd bettor tell him, Nick," said
Molly. "No good our both trying to
tslk."
Picking his way from one Arm
tuft to auother until he reached the
path, Jerry broke once more Into a
steady run.
Even if we had escaped observa
tion till then, any further attempt at
hiding ourselves was obviously fu
tile, so parting the bushes I stepped
forward Into the open. Without a
word Molly slipped through after
me.
"You can take It easy," I called
out. "We're quite safe, alt three of
us."
Muddy and dishevelled, his old
waterproof smeared with dark
stains. Jerry stumbled hurriedly up
the slope. There was a queer look in
his eyes, which I hsd nover exactly
seen before, a look of overwhelming
reller, coupled with a ktnd of sup
pressed excitement.
