Newspaper Page Textt SERIAL STORY CARIBBEAN CRISIS BY EATON K. GOLDTHWAITE T.!w,Tatf& TIIK l'ROFESHOR MOVES CHAPTER XXIV TjRILLIANT sunshine, us it re lenting for the storm, splashed : the docks of the Blue Petrel as BUI Talcott sat In a deck chair and told June Paterson, for the twentieth time, that he didn't know how he muu cOiiio tu ho ill luariha awen ron's cabin. She was beginning to believe him, too; probably she had all along, but you wouldn't have known it from the frigid" way In which she endured his presence. She was about to speak now when Halsey came along. . Halsey dropped Into a chair and sighed, blowing out his lips in cx- aspesation. "Swenson stiU sticks to the same story," Tie said. "Claims she didn't know Webber, didn't know of him, had never seen him before the night he came to her here on the ship. She says that Webber, or von Stampf, take your choice: anyhow, bald-head frightened her half to death. Knew her right name, which Incidentally is Swanzig; described her father 'down to the last wrinkle and threatened to put the screws to him unless she played along. Her job was to compromise Talcott so he wouldn't dare open his head; as if you, you poor dumb brute, weren't sufficiently compromised already." Talcott squirmed. "Cut it out It was a fool stunt, her starting that argument with the doctor and making so much noise she brought the whole ship down on her ears. It made me clean forget Webber's threats." ... June Paterson sighed. "I guess you don't ' understand women. Which brings to 'my mind that despite the fact Mr. Webber hasn't been caught, I'm still unscathed. I wish I could bring myself to believe that you were as doped as you claim." . Halsey grinned. "You've been lucky, my pet And you've had. a big seaman trotting at your heels , like a spaniel for the last two days.", "Yeah," Talcott said. "Where does he go when you sleep?" "That's for you to find out, Mr. Casanova!" From the companionway Cap tain Pringle's square figure loomed. A radiogram was tucked . in his huge fist. His eyes twinkled pleasantly and he said, "I see everybody's on speaking terms again.- YouH be interested to know, Talcott, the pin that doped you also cured my snip's physician. Some kind of stuff South Amer ican Indians use in hunting. It paralyzes the game and they walk up and finish them. Thought you'd like to know," and his eyes twinkled briefly as they rested on June Paterson. "rhr.Vs V.i i!,- of tvolVnor I "None. Thfr must h some place on this ship I don't know about, unless he finally did jump overside. If he's still aboard, we'll get him when the immigra tion lineup starts. We'll be in at 4 o'clock. Despite the storm, we've made a. record run, I believe. We're going to have quite a re- iception. Half the Army. But ihere, you might as well read your lown messages. ' "Probably from Saint Thomas Jabout - some woman you left istranded," June Paterson sniffed. 'TALCOTT rubbed his nose. "Sor ry to disappoint you. It's from your esteemed cousin. He says that one Jerome K. Winters is considerably embarrassed to dis cover that his newest and most efficient secretary is a Nazi agent serves him right! And Lowell says he'll be on hand with a squad of picked men to finish our un finished business." "Which reminds me," Halsey said. "Is that darned report still . 'safely hidden?" "Safe as a church. Unless a fire breaks out." - Halsey looked puzzled. "A fire?" he gasped. Talcott chuckled. It -"Was just one more unsched '. uled thrill for the passengers of the Blue Petrel. As if a hurri cane, a murder and a Nazi agent running around loose weren't enough, the Army had to take over the business of landing. And take over they did. Not . at the pier, but in quarantine. At least 20 of them; clear-eyed young chaps who looked and acted as if they knew exactly what they were about. Led by a lean, wiry young man whose uniform bore the in signia of a captain. He stood at an Impromptu desk in the main lounge, asking questions and per forming an inspection which slowed down the immigration line to a snail's pace. Other strange things were going on, too. For instance, a sad-eyed, sad-fared man who had taken over Cabin K with the full con sent both of tlio lata occupant, Mr. Leonard Halsey, and the ship's captain, Seth Pringle. There had been some kind of mysterious business In which the flashing and mysterious William Talcott had marched at the head of a squad of four to, of all places, the fire hose. He had opened the rabinct and, in the presence o the squad, removed therefrom a bulky envelope. Then the squad had right-faced and marched into Cabin K, and marched right out again. But without the envelope, i And it was much more puzzling when the cause of all the trouble, Mr. Talcott, had his turn and came face-to-face with the young captain, The startled passengers aw the supposed embezzler-mur- .dcrer and the suit Army olllcer in a combination bear-hug dance and Sioux Indian reunion, complete with war cries. i TT dragged on unbearably. Dumpy, sniffing dowagers: doddering old gentlemen; return ing college students; school teach ers. The same questions. The same sharp scrutiny. There was an interruption; one of the squad superintending search of the fire hose compartment came marching up. Saluted smartly, grinned, said, "Formula Nine did it, sir. We got the goods." And what on earth was Formula Nine? What could it possibly have to do with fire hoses and fat en velopes and a sad-eyed, sad-faced man who occupied a cabin just as if he were at home? The line moved on. Thinner, now. Less crowding from behind. There weren't so many left. A maty wife, end then the hypo chondriac, Professor Constant!?. The professor winked at Bill Talcott. "Style, eh?" he remarked with a grin. "Makes you feel im portant You know, that man who just passed. Perfect Neander thal, don't you think? Notice the shoulders and arms " Talcott didn't notice the perfect Neanderthal, but he did notice Professor Constantine. The profes sor possessed a mop of dyed, woolly hair. He also possessed violent and uncontrollable eye bran's patterned .much along the lines of those of a famous labor leader. But behind his thick lensed glasses he had no eye lashes! "Professor." Talpott egk!, smil ing grimly. "I believe you claim to have been picked up in Mar tinique by a certain smuggler named Jackson. It wouldn't be passible, would it, that you had been in Saint Thomas instead to secure certain defense clans which' n were recently revealed by the use of Formula Nine on Struthers' re port to the company?" Constantine deigned not to hear. He moved, shuttlewlse, to the rail. His leg went up ahd over he went (To Be Concluded) HOLD EVERYTHING!
