RENDEZVOUS
CHAPTER DC
rPHS footsteps accentuated the
mysterious end adventurous
qualities of the situation. Beth
gathered herself, up slowly Into
at compact a mass as possible, and
stayed as closa to the sandy soil
as she could.
The footsteps came nearer. They
were not so rapid now. Beth could
sea a human figure in the moon
light It was that of a man in unl
form the cut of the clothing was
unmistakable. He seemed to be
hesitant, and acted almost as
though he were afraid of being ob
aerved. He stopped on the beaeh
between Beth and the seaplane
and watched the flying boat for
a moment
Beth heard him whistle. His
back was to her. She knew now
that he was not only a member
of the armed forces, but that he
was a commissioned officer, for
the moonlight was reflected by his
collar ornaments.
He whistled again. There was
activity of some sort Beth could
not detect what on the seaplane.
Then he called softly but clear
ly. "Lita," he whispered and now
Beth felt a sickening sensation
paralyze her soul "lita, it's
Brit."
"Just a minute, Brit," Lita called
bade
TN less than a minute a small
boat was launched. In it were
a man and a woman, the man
plying the oars expertly.
"What do you want?" Lita Dan
ton asked.
"I want to talk with you ...
alone," Brit Jackson said.
He entered the boat and the
three returned to the seaplane.
For an instant a light went on,
and then it was blacked out by
the drawing of a blind.
"I'm spying on my commanding
ofHcer," she told herself. "I have
no right to do that"
She watched the seaplane with
fixed gaze as it rocked gently on
the tide.
She wondered what was being
said behind that drawn curtain.
She found herself wondering what
the interior of the seaplane was
like. Then her mind reverted to
the lost directive. Had Brit known
where it was all along? Did it ever
even exist? Was Beth being
framed? No, no, no, her heart
shouted at her reason. Everything
would be all right! She must have
faith. Then she was calm again.
Was Brit laying a trap? Of course
his purpose was honest. But whom
did he suspect? Suppose that the
directive really was lost during
the daytime. Did Brit still believe
she was at fault?
She remembered how he had
made such a point of changing the
safe combination, yet letting her
know the new one. Did he suspect
her, and was he laying a trap for
her?
After all, she reflected, he knew
nothing about her before they had
met in General Tallicoe's head
quarters. She was just another
WAAC to him, and he admittedly
knew nothing of WAACs at alL
A young woman playing at being
a soldier, Brit had said.
a
T5ETH looked back down the
beach. There was nothing of
human shape or form to be seen,
, nor was there any human edifice.
The camouflage was more com
plete by night than by day. No
light showed, no sound was audi
ble though this last was because
of the distance, and not because of
ny prohibition against making
: ordinary sounds.
The white top of the surf, the
' clean sand, the curve of the beach
these were part of this Shangri
Lal It was more beautiful than
the had dreamed.
- Beth's position was cramped, so
the shifted slightly. She heard
lome native noise she guessed it
was a nlghtbird's call back in
the island's jungle, which began
lust behind her and increased in
MSA einVICS. INC
thickness the farther It receded
from the beach.
A half hour elapsed. The light
lppeared again for a second on the
seaplane a door was opened
briefly, then closed. Three persons
entered the boat and it moved
slowly toward the beach.
When it reached the beach, Beth
saw that the trio was the same
that had gone out Lita, Rick, and
Brit. The two men were almost
the same height, but Rick was
easily distinguishable because he
was wearing whites.
Brit got out first
"Thanks for the taxi," he said.
Then he walked up the beach a
few yards, looked around, and
turned back.
"Come on. Everything's clear."
Lita stepped from the boat and
then Rick. Rick dropped a weight

(To B Continued)
When total objectives are less
than can be achieved under max
imum pressure, then we are not
mobilizing our full resources. On
the other hand, if the objectives
are too far beyond what can be
attained, then all kinds of un
evenness and lack of balance are
sure to develop. WPB Vice
