Grahame is conducting a one-man scarch for Bill Langton, aviator, who crashed months ago on the Yucatan coast. Franmk has pro- posed to Janice and been refused. Ortega just has explained why he dodged @ Mezican gunboat. Chapter 18 QUARREL RTEGA glanced toward the firm- ly battened hatch. The young man laughed again. *I knew the gunboat was in these waters. I have a friend in the customs.” Grahame watched the vessel head toward the distant horizon. It oc- curred to him that Ortega’'s explana- tion was rather weak; also that he did not seem anxious whether Gra- hame believed it or not. The atti- tude of the big Mexican and his crew had been one of reserve the previous day; today it seemed that they felt toward him a new familiar- ity. Perhaps Grahame’s Indifference toward Ortega's inference that there was good reason for his want- ing to evade civilization had some- thing to do with their affability. It did not perturb him at all. If Or- tega's operations were illegal, they did not eoncern him, and it was none of his business. At dusk they continued their jour- ney. Once in the night Grahame was awakened by the stopping of the engine. For a half hour they rocked motionlessly on the sea as the lights of a steamer passed a mile or two distant, in the opposite direction. Grahame shrewdly sus- pected it was the gunboat patrolling back the way it had come. The next day they rounded Cape Catoche and sailed south, They] passed some low-lying islands, and once several miles to their left a fruit liner overtook them and steamed on. It looked like a white gull hovering at horizon-level. The day was uneventful. The crew took turns at the wheel, and Grahame and Ortega sat on the| deck house and smoked. Grahame asked the big man when they would be at the island and was answered that it would be tomoriow, in the afternoon perhaps. Ortega seemed to be pondering. “I was thinking,” he said, “that your island would not be the place you want to go. It would be safer on the mainland.” Grahame smiled. “You told me it was unsafe on the mainland.” “But 1 have been thinking. I could use you at my hacienda. It would be hard work, often. And you could make some money.” “I have plenty of money." He caught Ortega looking at him ap- praisingly. “Still a man can aiways 4 e more money.” Why not ge with Ortega, he thought. After all, his iCea was not to remain at the island, but tc use it as a base at which he could make inquiries as to the mainland back of the eoast. Those that sailed along these bar- ren beaches must be acquainted with many queer types that wanted aothing better than to go unrecog- nized and unquestioned. “What .s the interior like behind your place?” he asked. Ortega shrugged nis shoulders, “Nobody knows. No orve has ever been there. Very dangerous.” RAHAME made his decision. “I'll go with you to your hacl: enda,” he sald. '“I won’t promise to work for you, until I look it over. It I decide not to stay, 1 will pay you for my lodging and leave. All right?” Ortega nodded and smiled a little as he looked at Grahame. “All right,” he said. Ahead of the launch 1 pateh about a hundred yards in circumference showed yellow against the biue of the surrounding sea. Grahame thought it was a reef until the jaunch headed into it and stopped. The crew threw capnvas buckets overboard and hauled them in brim- ming with clear water. Juen, -the goed-humered young- ster, dipped a tin eup full and held it out to Grabhame. ‘“Fresca,” he said. “It is fresh, drink.” Grahame drank. It was cool and fresh, decidedly below the tempera- ture of the sea’s surface. It had a slight taste of vegetation; Grahame thought it was very curious, Ortega witnessed his amazement and offered an explanaticn. “There are many such along the coast bere. It is the moutb of a stream that | empties out from the land under the sea. It is like a wel] in the bottom of the sea. The men iike to drink {t because it is cooler than the water in the casks.” That night Grahame thought of Janice. the distance that sepsarated her from him would also tend to keep his thoughts of her equally far away. But it was not so. Her eyes, swept by their long lashes, looked directly at him. He would have liked to have reached out and touched her shining hair. It was senseless to think about it. Here he was down along the coast of Quintana Roo, trying to forget her, Excitement, adventure, were the causties to apply to the wound she had dealt him. There was some- thing in that country beyond the dull shore line that outsiders were not supposed to see. He was going in to look. Langton’s plane, buffeted by the southern hurricane, might have crashed in there. It was not beyond reasonable theory. Quintana Roo contained thousands of square miles that had not been inhabited since the dim centuries when pagan priests caused tall pyramids to be erected to their bloody gods. The wreckage of Langton’s plane might well be hidden in there. There might be other things hid- den. He was going in soon to see. 'HE launch slid between the roots of mangroves that gripped the shores of a lagoon which was like a narrow river except that the water was salt. They chugged along un- til they were two or three miles in- land from the coast, when the pas- sage widened into a lake several hundred yards in circumference. They edged inward toward a small wharf extending at water level several yards into the lake. The water's edge back of the whart had been cleared and in the clearing were 'several flimsy buildings of palm-thatch. The launch was tied up at the whart and the hatch unbat- tened. Grahame helped with the unload- ing. As the first case slid from the deck to the pier he uttered an ex- clamation. The size and weight of the case was unmistakable. Ortege and his two helpers paused to watch him. “Someone is going hunting, I see,” he remarked dryly. Ortega’s reply was equally ironic. “In this country,” he said, “there is always hunting.” The unloading was accomplished without further comment. Grahame estimated thai in the cargo there were cases containing at least two hundred rifles and a substantial amount of ammunition. Sufficient, certainly, to equip quite a little army, as numbers went in these countries. He was puzeled, however, to know what a band .f men bent on making troubie could do in this iso- lated part of Mexico. In the first place, the territory hereabouts was uninhabited aecording to all reports. Even if the man-power were avail- able, it wowld be impractical for them to strike through the jungles to the nearest civilized state, which was Yucatan. Furthermore, it would not be stra- getic to deminate Yucatan, since that state was isolated, m.ore orless, from Mexico proper. Grahame knew enough of revolutions and their technigué, tc appreciate that ele- ment. Why, then, this warlike eguipment landed at this point? Ortega brought up the subject that eveming. “There are Indians in the interior here that wish equip- ment with which to defend them- selves I'know what you are think- ing. You think because you have heard rumors of revolution in Mexico, that these guns are for the revolutionists. X “It is pot so. True, there is a revolution brewing just now,—that is why I avoided the gunboat the other day. They are on the watch for smuggled arms and it would be embarassing for me to b. searched. But this cargo is tc be used solely for defense. I have brcught many such. 1 have been well paid.” “How do they pay you?" “With gold"” replied Ortega shortly, “and other goeds. In the morning we will leave and go far ther south. T wish to pick up an other cargo, and return to Progreso. When I returnthere, thess cases will be gone and the payment will be in a place 1'know of." “I would like to talk to these peo- ple who come for your shipment.” ‘Ortega’s voice was harsh when he answered. “You canmot do that. Even I never see them-wonly one man, whom 1 meet south of here at Puerto Morelos; It is there I pick up my other cargo that I take to Progreso.” (Copyright, 1934, by Herbert Jensen) — & .Tmmma.
