out to sea. brought about a more

They had been calm, but now
they moved about, chattering like
sarin monkeys. Rumors new. Why
'ad there been no reports from
the bridge T Had the ship been
driven oft the course Inside the
reefs? Were they all doomed?
It was suddenly every man (or
himself. It was a mad scene ot
tear, stark and In some cases, ab
ject For some reason the men
crowded out of the bar. The al
coholic spirits inside them no
longer compensated for the lack ot
life preservers about their waists.
Instinctively the family croups
drew closer together, clutching
their life belts as It they were
afraid ot haying them torn away,
But no such more came from the
men. In the moment ot greatest
danger they merely sought the
companionship ot human beings in
the lounge.
' Two ot the ship's officers, their
U-aklns dripping water, circulated
about and tried to calm the people.
There was no relaxation in the
stern discipline the crew main
tained, but the passengers misin
terpreted, these gestures. ,
But the orchestra played on.
Ken Martin, recovered from his
blow and sensing renewed panic in
the crowd, began to sing, and Lin
da Bayes watched him. She Joined
him, and hand in hand they sang,
high above the huddled groups ol
people. Some ot their courage
went out to the audience. Two

vtvhb detective wanted to ask Lin-
da it she knew anything about
the person who had started to
strangle her in her stateroom, but
e questioned Jane Instead.
' Ton didn't recognize the man?"
He said. "Are yon sure it was
man?".
"Of course It was a man!" lane
aid, "but he was masked, and had
cap pulled down. I couldn't tell
whether I had ever seen him be

and the lights were dim. He had

this," Snowshoes said. The man
who killed M annle .Jackson, stole
the Kokinor diamond, and then to
cover up' his crime made attempts
on the lives successful In one In
stance ot Dutch Lens and Linda
Bayes, is that man. He's abroad
on the ship."
"Dutch Lens may have commit
ted the first crime," Dirk said ob
stinately. "Now he's dead. The Ko
kinor may have changed hands."
, But then Snowshoes looked more
pussled than ever. Jane watched
him, for her own mind was racing
along impossible channels. The de
tective said suddenly, "It Dutch
Lens didn't send that note to Lin
da Bayes, who did? Who else could
It have been? Somebody ashore
In Nassan," he added quickly. Then
his eyes had a sudden light In
them, and he said, low: "There is
a passenger on board this ship who
Is not a passenger. He Is the
corpse! And he's walking around
o two legs like any ot the rest of
as."
Jane was aghast. Ton mean,
a man came on board In that long
black box? Somebody ashore''
"That's nst it I" Snowshoes
laid. "It could have been arranged.
We'll have to question the ship's
officers who had the body in
charge, but they're on heavy duty
sow, trying to maneuver this ship
through the storm''
"But It there is another mnn in
the crime, who stole the Kokinor
diamond from Nora Lane's suite?"
Jane said. "Where Is Millie?"

grin with discouragement "I think
I'll lust go round np the corpse,
and let the rest go hang until the
storm Is over. I don't like the Idea
of a corpse running around be
low." With Dirk at hit side the detec
tive went down to Deck B, and
cautiously approached the state

hip took a bad roll once, and
they were thrown Into a heap on
the floor, while the lights dimmed
completely and then glowed teebly
again.
They were lying there, breathless

It was again, and It sounded more
than a tap. Something was beat

They approached the closet with
due caution. There waa a almple

Dirk propped himself in the
Male, and Snowshoes unlocked the
door, flinging It open. Something
tumbled out headlong and lay on
the floor, uttering one shrill cry
arhlch was lost in the noise of the
hurricane. , p ' v.itv
"Why. It's Millie!" the detective
said, but before they could touch
her ahe ran away from them, up
the stairs and Into the lounge.
They ran after her and caught
up with her just aa she flung her
self, sobbing bitterly, at Madame's
feet She clung to the old dowa
ger and handed the Jewel-boa to
her.
"Millie, what have yon done?
Madame was saying.
' . e
THHE companion was almost hye-
terlcal. "I've been locked np In
that closet tor hours," she sobbed.
"I thought I waa going to die. I
screamed, and screamed, and no
body could hear me. I was run
ning from him. and climbed in the
closet to hide, when I closed the
door I waa locked In "
Running from whom?" the de
tective said. -
That man! They woke me up,
the stewards running np and down
when the storm started. I wasnt
aulte sure what It was. but I heard
a noise in the suite next door. They
were dragging something heavy
over the floor. It was in the room
where they pnt that corpse! I was
shaking all over, and hid my head
under the coven for a long time.
But then I heard something in
Madame's bedroom, and I cot really
cared. I thought it might be the
thing come to life again. I put
an my dressing gown and went in.
when I saw the thing H wore
mask and was poking around In
the dork I ran to Madame's pil
low, and snatched np the Jewels.
She cant hear well, and didn't
cake up. I got by the thing to the
outside door and ran down the
leek and got away from him. There
cere so many people running np
end down. I saw that closet open.
and climbed In. I dont know
whether he followed me or not. I
cas so scared.
Madame was murmuring, "Ton
poor childVyon risked your life to
save my Jewels!", when Millie
broke down,- "I dont want to
drown." ahe sobbed, brokenly. "I
aavent got a lite preserver. Every
body else has one but me.' The
lhip's sinking, I know. And I was
locked np in that buck hole, go
ing to drown, drown"
The detective said, sighing, "Well,
at least we dont hare to find your
iewels, Madame? They're safe."
' They paused while the shin went
tnrongh one of those herculean
shudders again.
But suddenly the detective knit
his brows, closely together. . "We
Haven't a single clue," he said.
-This man Is Interested in dia
monds and wont stop at murder
to get them. But we're tnmoed.
It may be any on ot these suspicions-looking
touts on board. We
can't keep track ot them in this
torm. And it may be the corpse
that walks like a man, and throws
his coffin overboard in the storm."
he ended unhappily.
The old dowager scoffed. "There
have been queer doings on this
ship since I came on aboard. I
wouldn't be surprised at anything.
Let it walk! Nothing bothers me
any more. It I've stood this much
excitement my heart li good for a
lew years more"
"We won't And the murderer un

Snowshoes insisted stubbornly.
'And it may have chanxed hands
on shipboard. And it'll probably
