CHAPTER VIS
rrRE next day Beth began her
duties. She arose at 6:15 and
breakfasted at 7. At 8 o'clock she
was at a desk in the office adjacent
to Brit Jackson's.
. Ho was there before her.
"Good morning," he greeted,
smiling.
"Hello," she replied. "I'm ready
for work, sir."
i On top of her desk were some
papers, arranged in stacks, with
'weights on them. They went
through them together. It was
not long before she realized why
her task was so secret and so im
portant. Here was a master plan
not as such, for it was not in
"plan" form; but it was in its out
lines a plan anyway for a tre-
.mendous phase of the South Pa-
1 clflc war, and for eventually car
rying that war straight to Tokyo.
-
"YOU'RE to help me correlate
A these," Brit said. "They're
never . . . NEVER ... to be out of
bur hands. Either I have them or
you have them or we both have
them, or they are in that safe over
; there." He pointed to an opened
wall safe, built to fit deep in the
concrete. "This headauartera is
:clpsely guarded. There is no one
- whom I specifically distrust. Yet
'. ." Brit handed her a letter off
. the top of the last pile. It was a
smaller stack than the rest but,
'she learned, it was more important
than any one of the others. She
.'read, and a single sentence stood
. out: as though it had been printed
. in! block capitals: "You will take
,. eVery precaution, particularly
, against some enemy from within,
t whom, for want of more complete
Information, we cannot at present
name."
"I meant to ask you," Brit said,
"whether you'd seen anything or
f. anyone yet who excited your
i wspicions."
.Beth's mind Instantaneously re
iverted to lata Danton's unexpect-o-pcV
for was it?) appearance. She
.nlmost said, "Lita Danton.' Then
she did not. She silently taunted
overcome reason.
j "No," Beth replied.
V "Be sure and tell me if you do,"
Brit said. ,
Beth went to work. Her first
, task was to digest out of each of
i the papers its prune reason for
,- existence. It was Brit's order that
the sum of all the information
should go into a single page of
"".typewritten matter. Once it was
thus condensed, all of the original
Smarter was to be destroyed. Beth
0 was told that if she could finish
" her job by evening, the originals
' could be burned when certain
other documents were burned un
- der official supervision the next
--'morning. .
u;' Beth concentrated so complete
4,!y on her work that she hardly
, knew when lunchtime came and
when it did, she-asked an order-
ly to send some coffee and a sand
' jyich to her desk.
In midafternoon, she had pre
Tgressed enough so that she felt
that accomplishment was possible
by evening. She relaxed a moment,
and as she did so, she realized
1 that a conversation was going on
T 1TA DANTON was talking, and
her shrill voice penetrated the
oorway that Joined the offices Just
as though there were no barrier
between them.
"We're Americans and we're en
titled to courteous treatment and
quick passage. We didn't come
here deliberately. We got lost. Now
listen here, Brit Jackson, I'm go
ing to lose my job and Rick Moth
will lose his, too, if we aren't in
Auckland in another few hours.
You've got to let us go."
"Will morning do?" Brit asked.
"Yes.". Lita's indignant tone
changed. She could not conceal
her delight. . .
So Lita Danton was with a man
named Rick Moth. Beth wondered
what he looked like. Now she

heard his voice. v
"Thank you so much, Major
Jackson," a man said. "I felt Miss
Danton could convince you. Very
embarrassing for our plane to go
astray but we feel fortunate wo
found an island, and did not get
lost out on the waves."
Beth heard a door open and
close. Then Brit entered her of
fice. "Darned bad," Brit said. "Those
two certainly put mo in an odd
place. I suppose I'm going to have
to let them go." Ho idly looked
through the papers on which Beth
was about to start work. "You're
getting along fine. You're almost
. . . Say, Where's that decoded di
rective that was in these papers?"
Beth caught the note of sudden
alarm in his voice and read con
cern in his eyes.
"I don't know, Brit I've . . ."
Beth, this is serious! For
