. : CHAPTER XXVn
TVTTJMBER ONE all light, Cap-
' ' X loin!"
' "Number two all right, Cap
talnl" "Plane number three all right,
; Captain!"
1 Crisp reports like that flowed
to Jimmy Carr at Intervals from
II 10 of the sailplanes he towed.
' "What about you, Patl" Jimmy
. radioed that personal question.
He couldn't remember to call her
loraine, for the real Loraine snt
beside him, pouting. Anyway, this
was no longer a time for any sort
pf masquerade. Realistic facts
confronted them. Directly ahead
and around them was a snorting
. Rocky Mountain storm.
It had arisen like a great black
genii from the earth itself just
beyond Four Peaks. It swept
across the crags of Superstition
Mountain. It began with a sand
blow, characteristically, then it
added pebbles, hailstones, and
slashing rain. It was a fury
' beyond anything Capt Jimmy
Carr had ever known.
Up and down his '"kite tail,"
ships were bobbing and dipping
like so many corks on a pond.
Number three plane snatched at
the tow line so as to send a whip
like wave. Simultaneously, every
.body radioed their fears back at
Pat Friday.
"Hold it. Number 101 .. . Look
out! . . . Careful!"
Pat's tail end plane, the cracker
of this sky whip, took the snap
ot it! But the plane held on.
Next minute the blow was even
Stronger. It came not steadily but
in jerks and snorts that were al
most cyclonic. In the tow ship,
the real Loraine Stuart had
screamed twice in terror and
Jimmy himself was deeply con
cerned. On him of course rested
the responsibility for all. But
Jimmy, trained on the eastern sea
board, knew nothing of Rocky
mountain storms. This one had
trapped him before he realized
its power and wraui.
"Can't turn back yet!" he ra
dioed to his trailing pilots. "Don't
want to give it a full sweep at us
from the side. We're all hooked
together, remember!"
. "Any visibility?" somebody
asked.
"Zero!" Jimmy answered. "Fly
pig entirely by instruments but
.'. (staying fairly well on the course.
Listen, men."
"Yes, Jimmy," Pat checked in,
loo.
' "Matter of technical interest.
This being hooked onto one tow
line seems to function somewhat
like a real kite. You get me?
, . . My power plane has a real
tail, and the tail steadies it in
' ithe storm! Or tends to. Maybe
(we discovered something!"
That significant idea gripped all
f them.
, i "This may or may not be lm
jportant," Jimmy told them. "We
jean break our necks, men, or we
ean see it through. What's your
iwish?"
i "See It throughl ... See it
through, Captain see it
(through"
j That came as a quick: chorus.
IA chorus of courage, in all truth.
The radio sets were crackling
land spitting noisily now. Jimmy
feared they might go out entirely.
i"Okay, then!" he said, hurriedly.
fYou men stand by for orders.
If the radio breaks, use your
heads! We'll take care of the lady
Ifirst, then"
r "Jimmy! '. , . Captain Carr?
L . . Number 10 calling Captain
parr!"
. "What is it, Pat? Do you hear
Rie?"
"Yes! Jimmy, I'm going to cut
Joose!"
"Hey!"
-JTER announcement held the rest
r- of the train spellbound, in
Icluding even the real Loraine
leowering in the towing plane.
"Check your instruments, Jim
Imy. We ought to be nearing
iGlobe!"
i "What of it?" He verily yelled
It "This is one hell of a storm,
Pat!"
"We're close to Globe!"
"I'm watching for a chance to
turn around! First lull we get,
ll'll swing. I'll take you back to
OPhoenix and then the rest of us
will tackle this storm to see what
we ean learn."
."Jimmy, no! Why must you in
teult me?"
! "I'm not insulting anybody! I'm
Itrying to save your skin!"
"1,'m one of the pilots. We've
ireached the place where I'm to
icut loose and land! Right near
IGlobe!"
"You're crazy! The last earthi
Iwe saw was Superstition Moun
tain. And even if we were over!.
Globe you couldn't see a spot to
land, Pat! I'm taking you home."
"Do you want to go back to
Phoenix and admit the sky train
failed?"
j "No. But I want to save your
life more!" Jimmy barked.
' "So what, Jimmy Carr? I won't
jdo it!"
I The others were listening, en
thralled. Plane Number 7 spoke
(up. That was big Ed Bryan.
"Miss Pat, you take and listen
to the captain, please, ma'am."
"Attention, Pat," Jimmy or
dered. "I'm going to turn the first
chance I get. Can't risk a heavy
sldo sweep all along the train,
so I'll wait for a lull. When it
comes, I'll swing fasti"
"No!"
"You heard me, Private Fri
day! Do you want to be court
taarllaled?" : He could have been joking, in
deed he must havo been. It was
a way he had teased her before.
JAnd yet, she was literally under
ibis oider3-lierai-fiti9w.84.ua effect

a private under his captaincy and
command. Certainly no male pilot
in this strange kite tail would
have dared act like pretty Pat
was acting!
TlUT, then, a man is a man, and
a girl is a girl; the armies of
the world will always hava to take
the difference into consideration.
Especially, no doubt, if the indi
viduals are in love.
"Jimmy, I won't go back!" Pat
declared. "We have got to prove
things to the crowd back in Phoe
nix!" "You've got to saw your lifel
And theso Superstition crags
are"
"I'm not afraid! I've been
checking my instruments. We are
up 12.200 feet, and I'll bet I know
exactly where we are. Jimmy."
"That's not the point. Patsy!
Your life must " Click!
The radio was dead! Lightning,
thunder, all the mysterious phe
nomena of a mountain storm had
engulfed them. Communication
was impossible now.
The men on that flying kite tail
strained to look back. Would the
spunky girl in Number 10 actually
cut loose?
She would I
Even as they looked, Pat dipped
her plane. It was her last signal.
Next moment she dropped the
tow line!
Appalled now, every man stared
back and down at her ship. For
a few seconds it was a tumbling,
floundering bit of white, a sheet,
a handkerchief, tossed in the
blackness. Then, as if in an ocean
of water, it faded into the roaring
storm.

I was warned that I would
find a strong spirit of Isolation
ism throughout the country. I
only found that people were an
xious to learn about the Brit

critical ot the British and a lot
of other things, So much so that
I felt I was in Wales. There is
no real isolationism in this coun
try. It is only an artificial iso
lationism Jack Jones, Welsh
