HADIA LEAVES AGAIN 10 AID_ NAYY SWEEPER | BREMERTON, Wash., Dec. 16— It was revealed here today that the Navy minesweeper Oriole, tow- ing the old steamer City of Victoria to Sitka for use as a floating hotel for Navy base construction workers, is in difficulty again today, south' of Juneau and the Coast Guard | cutter Haida was sailing fo convoy the Oriole to Sitka. The Oriole had run into heavy | weather early in the week and the City of Victoria in tow had given considerable trouble. HAIDA LEAVES The Haida left Juneau this after- noon at 3 o'clock on a secret mis- sion, expecting to be back Tuesday, | which lapse of time would give the cutter just about time enough to sail to a southerly Chatham Strait point. where the Oriole had first asked aid this week, and proceed with the Oriole and its tow to the vicinity of Sitka.

Hornum, well known Juneau prospector and mining man, return- 1 on the Princess Norah last night 3aranof Hotel and is a guest at the - Today's News Toaay—Empire, 4 THE STORY SO FAR: Eric and Elsa and the white fox have started from Toyland on a search for the doll, Leezen, that was specially made by the fairies so she could talk to her owner after midnight. Chapter 12 Through The Mountain THROUGH the might, hour after hour, the white fox ran smoothly over the snowy hills with Eric, the son of Lightning, and Elsa on his back. They had reached a | chain of high mountains when day broke. Suddenly the white fox stopped. He was tired. “Poor fellow,” said E ‘Now we can go no further,” said the fox. “These are the moun- tains that only get higher as you go up. No one has ever climbed them.” “What!” said Eric. “Why, I can do anything. I shall climb them.” “Wait, wait,” said the fox. “Many people have died on those aks.” “Don’t leave nfe, Eric,” said Elsa quietly. “I forgot, Elsa,” said Erie, “Well, let’s see what this does.” He blew on his flute. He rollicked through dances. He played fierce marches. His flute screamed and then whispered. And as he played, queer little woods folk began to peak out from behind trees and rocks. Soon they were surround- ed by a silent group of little old men and women, Then Eric put down his flute and said to them, “We must be over those mountains by noon. Is there anyone here can help?” ‘A Real Friend’ “I don’t think so,” said the oldest man. “There is only one er- rand that can take a traveler through them. There is a gate that opens behind those rocks, and a straight tunnel runs through the mountain for him who has a real friend on_the other side.” “But do,” shouted Eric rleased. “How can we know that before ve open the gate?” asked the old- st man. “By us,” said Eric. his eyes By BILLY DeBECK WARAL 1185 NGHT T TOSSED & FLL ENE MWNWTES QFORE MANBGED TO DREP OFF -+ Charles Courtney, noted locksmith, told (G-Men that two men, one of them a former fellow-student in Germany, brought a strongbox into his New York City shop for open- Ing. ;Later, Courtney says, he found on the floor an envelope containing plans for Germany’s mysterious magnetic mine. The men returned several times to demand the plans, the Jocksmith asserts. Finally they beat, him with blackjacks and fled with the plans. This sketch, drawn fron§ Courtney’s notes, shows how the mine works. The use of snuff increases.

Then the oldest man said to Erie, “Leezen sounds like a real friend to have you pledged to find her through any difficulty. So we will open the gate.” “Abh, little father,” said Eric and he bent over and kissed the little man on his white hair. The little man chuckled and led Eric and Elsa and the white fox to a rock on which he rapped three times. It swung back slowly and there, ahead, lay a long straight tunnel. Prisoners In a twinkling Eric and Elsa were on the fox’s back again, and the fox was running swiftly through the long tunnel. After a long time the fox sniffed and said, “I smell fresh air ahead.” Eric looked and said, “I see a faint light.” || were standing in a 1 ed in the aint of | Sainte Genevieve, who 1 fifth century, is the patrc | Paris. ‘ - | John Adams, who dic | the longest lived of the Pr 1 at €0, was de;.te SIGRID ARNE rwang back SoWY @d there, ghad, fay 19,51 1ght funnel Elsa cupgcd her ears and said, “I hear a bird singing. We must be coming to the other side.” And sure enough they were. Soon they covered with white, nodding daisies. A hill fell away below them and a white road led down it to a town in the center of which stood a turreted castle. “That may be the home of the King of Westphalia,” said Eric. | “Hurry.” So the fox leaped off again with | a long, easy stride down the hill. But just as they got to the castle gates twenty guardsmen lowered their spears before them. And twenty more guardsmen closed in | behind them, ‘L They were taken prisoners be- fore Eric could say a thing. His hands were tied behind him, and he couldn’t play his flute. He said nothing, but as the guardsmen led them off to a tower room in the castle Eric whispered to Elsa, “Have patience,” | MONDAY: Eric goes to the Itrolls’ cave.
