CHAPTER XXIX
yHL'N Captain Carr saw Pat
leave the sky train and real
ized that the was alone In the
ttorm, he went mildly crazy.
"Pat! ... Pat Friday! . . .
Plane Number 10 . . . FAT!"
He yelled at his radio which no
longer was working.
"She cut loose!" he shrieked at
Loraine, over their head phones.
"Pat did! ... She dived right into
this storm."
"Jimmy, what are you doing?"
Loraine shrieked back.
He dldnt answer. But he put
over the controls of the towing
ship that he piloted, so that the
sky train, swung out in a long,
spectacular arc. In a matter of
seconds the nine sailplanes be
hind him were jerking crazily at
the tow line.
ITiump-thumpety-thump! The
power ship bucked like an Army
tank In a forest Up-and-down
waves traveled over the long tow
line. Loraine screamed out at
Jimmy again, and again he ig
nored her. He had a terrific fight
with the elements here, and only
man ot infinite daring could
have done what he did. And a
man with excellent equipment'
In about six minutes the train
was flying smoothly again. Like
some fantastic, imaginative dragon
it streamed out of the dark bulk
of the storm over Superstition
Mountain as Jimmy swung back
toward its Sky Harbor home.
"Jimmy, where are we going?"
Loraine demanded.
"Stop yelping, and look!"
"Look where? For what?"
"Look down! See if you see any
trace of Pat" ,
"But but what could you do if
you did see her again?"
He waited several seconds be
fore answering. "I don't know,"
he confessed, then.
He was straightening the train
out now, heading west Contrarily,.
tauntingly, the sun began to filter,
through and illuminate them. He
gunned his great ship with all the
ower possible, and hopefully once
more he Jiggled the radio dials.
! "Captain Carr! . . . Calling Cap
tain Carr. ... Number Seven
lane calling Captain Carr. . .
Number Four reporting."
! "Hey!" Jimmy shouted ft.
fYou're through again. I get you
now fellows!"
j He was elated that the static
tnd storm had been left behind
lem. He tried frantically to con
tact Fat's ship but without success.
(Then he began Issuing crisp orders.
He was at 2100 feet when they
Beared Sky Harbor. The air was
windy but clear here. He told
Number Nine to let go. Then,
each of the others, in turn. Their
landing made a beautiful show
and it was an extra attraction for
those of the spectators who had
remained at the field.
When the entire "tall" of his
power plane had left him, Jimmy
iieaded east once more.
"Oh!" Lorain protested. "Aren't
rou going to land? Jimmy!"
"I'm going back to Supersti
tion Mountain."
"JJUT no . . . No, no!"
"Stop yelping, Loraine! The
worst of that storm has blown past
there. We saw that much as we
keft it" .
Fury as well as fear gripped
her. "If you take me back toward
that storm, Jim Carr, I'll hate you
tthe rest of my life! I'll never
marry you!"
I "Is that a promise?"
I "You're going to kill us! You're
being a complete fool!"
All at once Jimmy grinned wild
ly. "What about the engagement?
lYou say you don't wanta marry
tne?"
' "No! I hate you! Take me down,
I tell you!"
She shouted Insanely, but Jlm
tny only gunned the ship for more
speed. In a few minutes the eerie
bulk of Superstition was under
them again and the ship began
roaring down into every canyon.
Ho flew around a hat-shaped rock,
then weaved In and out of more
rugged canyons, heading steadily
eastward all the while. He spotted
Four Peaks, whence the storm had
tome. Remembering, he swerved
i bit to the right, in direct line
lor Globe.
! "Jimmy, this U madness!" Lot-nine
tried again.
Still he paid no attention, but
two minutes later he suddenly
houtcd.
"LOOK! . . . LOOK! . . . LOOK
(THERE!"
They gazed down. There on a
Steep slope was a sailplane, the
white birdlike shape of It distinct
against tlio reddish hue of the
mountain. What's more, when
Jimmy zoomed near they saw Pat
Friday on the ground frantically
waving.
"Pat! . . . Pat! ... Oh Pat!"
I He shrieked it wildly as If he
actually expected her to hear. But
lie also .waved, and dipped the
plane, and Jnadaher know they j
I
' had seen her. Then, Because a
rock cliff confronted him, he threw
Ills plane into a straight-up climb
as if about to loop.
That cleared the rocks but it
lso jerked Loraine Stuart roughly
around the co-pilot's seat there.
"Jim Carr, you're trying to kill
me!"
"She's safe! She's not hurt!
She's dawn there running around
and waving. I've got to get her
put of there!"
"You can't land on all those
rocks. You'll kill us both!"
"It'll soon be night! And she's
alone on top of that mountain!"
"Don't you dare try to land!
Jimmy!"
"Stop yelping!"
He had roared his plane in H
climb and a circle to gain a better
position in the wind. Loraina
covered her face and tried to brace
herself. When they were up 800
feet or so he yelled at her again.
"Take over! Take this tiling and
fly it!" He was climbing out of
his pilot's seat
"JIMMY! No, no! Are you?"
"Take over, I said! You know
how to fly an airplane!"
She saw his purpose, then. "No!
No! I won't do it! No!"
But he was strapping a para
chute on, and he was opening a
latch.
"You can take over or you can
crash!" he shouted. Then he re
moved his head phones.
He paused just one moment
Fierce in anger, frantic with fear,
Loraine took the controls as or
dered. When he saw that, Jimmy Carr
leaped.
(To Be Concluded)
1942 passenger traffic on Clip
per ships, virtually all of which
bore government priority, ex
ceeded that of the previous year
by 140 per cent.
Always read the classified ads.
At one aircraft plant, it is
necessary to make 1000 Inter
departmental phono calls and
more than 1200 hours must bo
spent on paperwork in order to
follow through on a single order
for aircraft engines.
In ona of the nation's largest
aircraft engine plants thero are
handled daily about 1500 dif
ferent sizes mid kinds of steel
bar stock and about SOO differ
ent sizes and kinds ot other
metal materials.
Indicative of the expanding
interest in aviation in the Unit
ed Stales is the fact that a Chi
cago mail order catalogue con
tains, for tile first time, four
pages devoted to aviation supplies.
