.,, . rA f SERIAL STORY CARIBBEAN CRISIS BY EATON K. GOLDTHWAITE COPYWIOMT. 1042. MCA SERVICtf. INC. WEBBER DISAPPEARS CHAPTER XXII "'APT, SETH PRINGLE turned sour eyes on hit two vlritgrs. A large, square man, the sea was stamped Indelibly upon him. He gave the Impression that nothing was secret to him. " : ?5e much for your side of the story, Ralsey," he said bluntly. "But Talcott, I dont know what to do about you. I know you by reputation and I know your boss. And Naval Intelligence gave me your story before we left Saint Thomas. But I'm damned If I U let my ship be turned into a shambles on your account!" Talcott said, "There's none of It my doing." Prtagle scowled. "Why dldnt you come straight to me and tell me you were attacked on the boat . deck, instead of waiting until this morning?" "Because when I returned to my cabin to clean up I found that MacDowell had been murdered, and then I heard Webber, sup posedly In his stateroom but act ually outside, talking to the steward. I recalled his having eavesdropped before, and then I ' remembered that he was Baron von Stampf." ; "If you'd come straight to me then we might have caught him. I've got the steward in irons and he's more afraid of von Stampf i he is ef me. Wont say a damned thing except that he has relatives in Dusseldorf and von Stampf made him do it because he was afraid they'd be tortured.. You say you and Halsey searched . the ship?" "Halsey replied,' "Every comer. That is, we couldnt very well go in cabins. But he certainly wasn't in his own,, and we combed all the decks and lounges for hours without a ign of him." , -Tve still got a few men I can' trust," Frtogle grunted. "Well damned soon find out if he's Jumped overside or not" Fringle ;got to his feet. "All right, Tal . cott - I'm placing you under ; technical arrest. That means ' youll have your freedom, but any more funny business and Into Irons you go alongside the steward. I; got enough trouble with hurricane: warnings all around ns without (you bringing me any more!" - . . : ! flfpULI fury of the storm broke upon the Blue Petrel while din ner was in progress. The ship shuddered violently, began a climb which seemed endless, hung mo mentarily as if drifting In a jvacuum and then plunged down jward with dizzying speed. A ter irlfle crash of dishes was the first , (casualty, and the dining salon be )gan to empty rapidly. - June Paterson, Bill Talcott and IHalsey endured it until the prob- ilem et keeping dishes on the table I became too acute. The chief en- igineer had long since departed when Pringle, in oilskins, came (hurrying by. "Barometer still Stalling," he reported. "We're in (for a dirty time Still no sign f. that bald-headed" He Kitarted to call him something lse and at sight of June Paterson Corrected himself by changing it Jo "Dum." Orders were up for passengers to 'remain inside, not that many would have wanted to venture on ihe slippery, tossing deck. But June Paterson was one of the few. Eyes sparkling in flushed cheeks she inhaled with , excitement. "Let's get our coats. I wouldn't iraiss this for anything in the worldl" Halsey said, "Mot for me. Tm going to utilize the time to prepare a document for the benefit of Old - :Man Winters. I think there are i some things about his new secre jtary that he ought to know!" I. Talcott, desiring action above all else, agreed to accompany her. A. reckless, reactive spirit had hlm in its grip, and as he battled down. ithe passageway to C Deck his' mind knew only great relief. The net was fast dissolving; Webber, if still on the ship, would never escape the sharp eyes of the cap tain's trusted men. The steward. was in the brig and his admissions' made in order to avoid full con fession were enough to clear Tal cott. Things were beginning to 'break the right way at last . His blood pounded with the joy of living when he reached his stateroom and retrieved his coat A wonderful girl was waiting for him so that they, together, could buffet a storm. It was symbolic; they had come through one storm together with colors Hying. A moral and spiritual storm that made this action of the elements seem like child's nlay. For through it all, even in that dark est moment when he had told of IMacDoweU's murder, she had be- llicved in him. His coat was a rough tweed, Ironic Christmas present from Old IMan Winters the year before; it was like the Old Man to give Palm Beach suits to Eskimos. An expensive garment, tailor made; his arm was in the sleeve when an exclamation of pain (escaped his lips. Angrily he with drew his hand and saw an ugly i scratch from knuckle to wrist bone. Swearing wrathfully he turned back the cuft and saw the offender, a common pin. lodged in the lining. "That's damned funny!" he mut Itcred. "Wonder how that got in Ithere?" - TJE'U worn the coat only o..u J"1 before. It had never been to the cleaners. Could the pin have been there all the time and just now worked loose? He sucked at the scratch and spit blood in the wash basin. The wound was deep, hurriedly he searched his jumbled effects for antiseptic; he could have sworn he'd brought Iodine, but there wasn't sny evi dence of it "Mustn't keep her waiting," he said and, grimacing, stepped into the deserted corridor. like a shoe box in the hands of a schoolboy, that corridor tossed. "This is a honey," he muttered. Maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea to try the deck in this sea. They'd better talk it over first Shuddering sidewise motion threw him against the will and he grappled desperately for the hand rail, braced, caught balance and tried walking again. It was no go. Only by pulling himself along the handrail could ho rr.aho head way. He had gone half the distance to the companion stair yhen giddi ness assailed him. ' His head seemed swollen to the size of a basketball; his stomach was a leaden knot "Funny," he thought "Never been seasick in my life. But they say there's always a first time" The handrail had suddenly be come as rubbery as an innertube. He was holding it tight, could feel his own fingernails as they bit into the heel of his palm. But the rail was stretching like a snake. His legs wouldn't work, try as he might And his stomach was on fire; blazing with increasing intensity, sending fumes that swelled his head io a point where it threatened to leave his body. The corridor floor was hundreds of feet below him and down there he saw a pair of enormous feet "Are those my feet?" he giggled. It was uproariously funny. Gurgling with laughter he reached for the rail, missed by a yard, and crashed to his face on the carpet (To Be Continued) Before they can be elected to the Hall of Fame at New York university, men and wom en must be dead for 25 years. .
