inreiB Japanese fired and Beth
felt something pluck her left
jileeve, as though someone had
tuck a pointed Instrument
l0 through that part of her uniform.
'.The shot had come close.
. She want over the top of the
,two pluvilng, rolling, fighting
men In the center of the cabin.
'The plane was getting difficult to
'control. The Jap turned momen
tarily to the controls, then back
to Beth. He had delayed too long.
- Beth was fighting with all her
strength. She hod heard of ju
jitsu and the supposed advantage
.it gives to the man who knows it
and she did not doubt that this
''Japanese naval officer was sur
passingly expert But if she could
only keep him occupied until Brit
could subduo Hick. ... If she
,:?could only do that, even if it cost'
her her lifel
The plane was doing a number
of crazy things now. The Jap no
..longer was speaking English, he
-was talking excitedly in his na-
"Jtlvo tongue.
Brit and Rick were rolling
''.'around again. Rick was snarling
in a language Beth did not recog
nize. Now Brit was up. He held
""Rick's arms firmly. Rick kicked
Viciously. Brit swung him around
-'toward the end of the cabin, away
wfrom Beth and the Jap.
rr." ' As Rick and Brit neared the
- 'end of the cabin they gained mo
" mentum. Brit pulled Rick's body
r 'around so that when they hit
- Rick took the full impact of both
of them on the top of his head.
dHe crumpled to the floor, stunned.
r.Brit yanked off his tie and made
-jRick's arms secure.
Then Brit turned to the battle
?for the seaplane's controls.
.T -
jrpHE Jap fired again, and yet
. again. Then he was over-
whelmed not only by the two
Americans but also by the weight
of Rick's body, which had come
4 pitching down onto them.
Brit grabbed the pistol from
" the Jap's hand and brought it
"'"down on his head. He wasted no
--extra strokes. The pistol blow did
what was necessary it was as
quick and much safer than at
tempting to shcot in that mass of
b-. four tangled people.
Then Brit shoved the Jap from
4. the pilot's seat and grasped the
t. controls. At first it seemed they
were jammed. Finally they, re
sponded. Just when it appeared
that the seaplane was about to
plunge to its destruction Brit got
it out of its dive and under con
trol. ;"Tie up the Jap," he ordered.
. TJETH pulled herself from the
place where she had been
! wedged between the two insensate
bodies of their enemies. She
yanked Rick Moth away from the
Jap, then tied the Jap's hands in
the same way that Brit had tied
Rick's. . ' .
; "He's tied, Brit," she reported.
' "Cheek the back compartment
door, Bethr" Brit then said.
She didL.Lita was cursing and
screaming. . ' .
"Miss Danton doesn't like it
back there," Beth said.
"It's more comfortable than the
cell I'm going to take her to or
the firing squad all three of these
spies ought to get," Brit said
grimly. "Rick Moth is really
Ulrich von. Mothe, who disap
peared in Mandalay about a year
ego while doing a job for you
know who. I don't know how
Lita got tangled up with him, but
ril bet it wasn't because she
wasn't willing."
"What do we do now?" Beth
asked.
.: "We're going back. That's sim-
ple enough, isn't it?"
"That part is. Do you suppose
lour secret is safe?"
I "That's puzzling me," he said.
"I haven't the slightest idea
where this plane was headed. It's
only by dead reckoning that I can
figure out where we came from.
We should get back in a couple
of hours. But whether we're go
ing to be able to land, or
whether we're going to be merely
"'the harbingers of a swarm of Jap
planes after we do land, I can't
say now."
f - He pulled a switch, and the in-
terior of the plane was dark. Beth
had forgotten completely that
61 they had been traveling at night
T Her eyes adjusted themselves, and
..she looked out onto the Pacific,
as bright as it ever could be un
der the full moon.
.. "Can we spot the island in this

light?" she asked. ----- - -
"Wo can spot It all right,
but maybe spotting it will just
get us blown to bits by one
of our own antiaircraft guns. You
know, there ore two sides to this
spotting business ... the airplane
pilot's, and the ground gunner's.
A plane this slow would be a
clay-pigeon target"
Brit left the lights off, except
for the instrument panel. They
cruised for some time Beth's
watch said it was long after mid
night In another couple of hours
it would be dawn.
Her eyes wandered over the
panel. She saw something and
realized that Brit must have been
looking at the panel and must
have seen it, too; for he pointed
to the gasoline indicator expres
sively. "We've only got gas for three
more hours," he said. "My navi
gation had better be correct and
we'd better be awfully lucky."
