STEVE HANSEN- leaned over the rail of the "Northern BU" end scratched hli Iron-gray whiskers reflectively. Quite a voy tt this would be. Quite. CepUIn Steve ipit down into the wster of San Ftancltco Bay, where the "Belle" ley moored to her pier. He straightened up as Barney MacGregor approached. "You eent for me, SteveT" Captain Hansen crusted. "Yeah." And thent "How long you been flrat mate on thla tub, Mac?" . "Long time, Steve . . . aomethln' like eight yeara I guest. Why what'a In th' wind?" "Well, you ain't first mate no longer, Mae. At least not for awhile." Barney MacGregor placed two big hands on his hips and struck belligerent Scotch chin four de grees forward. "And would you mind explalnln' Just what th' hell you mean, Steve Hansen?" Captain Steve spat overside again. "Pull In your Jib, Mae. Ain't as bad as you suspect Vsee Mae, we're going to have some company going up to Prince Ru pert this trip. Female company," he added, significantly. Barney MacGregor's expression clearly indicated he didn't get it Captain' Hansen sighed lustily. "Might as well tell you th' whole story." He pulled a battered pipe from his pocket, tamped some to bacco Into It deliberately and lit op. "Old Hank Vaughan called me long distance today. AS th' way from New York ... mutta cost him a week's pay. . . . Week o' your pay, that is," he corrected. "Anyway, Hank calls to tell me bis one and only niece Is shipping with us this trip. Says he put her aboard one of those airplanes him self and shell be here this after Boon.1' ' "An who la Hank's niece an how coma we're algnin' on fe male. ?" ' Captain Steve squinted at him. "Mao, dont stand there and tell ma you dont remember little Va lerie Douglas. She used to scram ble all over this ship 11 years ago." ,- "You dont mean that long legged Ud with th pig-tails, Btevel" ' V:.' "Th' same, Mae, except X doubt very much if aha (till has those pig-tails. Must be quite a lady by ' now. A cute one aha was then, too , .. . - Steve Hansen smiled softly. "Took her fishing out in the bay, once and she threw all my worms overboard because she was sorry for them. Before her mother took her east I promised she could come back some day and be my first mate for a trip or two." "And this is it eh? An' you're goin' through with it?" "Orders from Hank. Th gal is th' star woman's sports writer for a big newspaper syndicate. Hank says she's dallyin' around with a sea-fatin' novel and decided ahe wanted to spend part of her vaca tion aboard th' 'Belle' to get some . more atmosphere, as she calls It" MacGregor snorted and Captain Steve continued. "But don't take all this too seriously, Mac C tourse you're still first mate. Th' gal's going to have a sorts bonor . ary title. But the boys can amuse . her by stringing along with any little things she wants done. See?" ' "Yeah," Mac said mournfully. X see. but I don't like. Neither will th' boys, I'm thlnkta'." Captain Steve hitched up his belt. "It's gonna be your job to ee that they do like or thereH be a lot of cracked skulls around here." ! Barney MacGregor muttered something under his breath and stalked off. Explaining this new ' Situation to the rest of the boys wasn't quite to his liking and he didn't think his announcement would be well received. e JT was 4 o'clock that afternoon when the taxi drew up at the , dock and instinctively Steve Han- sen knew Valerie Douglas had ar . rived. The cab drew away and . the girl who stood with hands on hips looking up at the ship was ', slender, blond and, even from a distance of 60 feet, amazingly pretty. Two suitcases were at her feet "Captain Steve!" she hailed him. "Stevie, you old landlubber, is this, the best welcome you have for me? C'mon down and haul up , tny dudle." . , Steve Hansen's leathery face . cracked. ' That little tyke . frown up ' like this. He could hardly believe it And then a twinkle popped into his eye. "Lug it up yourself," he called (own to her. "You're in the navy, oow." She laughed heartily at him, picked up her bags and hurried up j (he gangplank, Serena; Jita? ,L threw her arm around his neck and gave him a big kiss. He held her oft at arm's length lor a minute and shook his head. 'Danged if I can hardly believe it LltUe Val Douglas, all grown up and purtier "n a West Indies sun-let" "And Just as bright," she twitted eoquettishly. "Where do I bunk, Captain Steve? I'd like to get into tome different clothes." 'Good idea. You'll be In th' port cabin, aft It's fresh scrubbed and waltin' for you." When she Joined hlrn on deck a half hour later she was garbed in blue denim trousers, gray flannel shirt and heavy tan moccasins. Perched saucily on top her blond curls was a battered officer's hat He grinned, saluted her smartly and then led her over and sat her down on a hatch cover. "Now then, matey, you've got 12 years of your past to tell me about so let's have it" She hooked an arm In hlsGee, Captain Steve, I hardly know where to start Pm a sports writer tor World Syndicate, you know, and" Steve Hansen slapped his thigh as ha interrupted. "Say, that re minds me. What s this about you teudin' with this box-fighter . . . what's his name? You know who t mean. It was in all th' papers a abort spell back." A shadow of a smile crossed her race. "Oh ... I guess you mean Eddie Cavalier." Sha clasped both bands around a knee. "He's a pugilistic snob. X told him so in a column I wrote. Told him his pants were too pretty, too, and I guess he didn't like it Then one night at Madi son Square Garden ... the night he knocked out Tuffy Brostak . . . he leaned over the ropes and laughed in my face. He didn't say anything . . . just laughed. I'm going to fix him for that" He looked at her keenly. "Well, he's close at hand if you want to get at it immediately like. I see by the papers he has a big fight here in Frisco in a couple weeks. Oh I suppose you knew' that didntyou?" "Look, Steve," she growled. "It you mean what I think you mean, let me tell you that it's strictly coincidence that he happens to be here just when I'm starting my vacation."
