Chapter Seven FAINT TRAIL T the first of their talk Curt tried” to find out what lay behind Bald- win’s attempt to shield Helen that ‘afternoon. He discovered that Bald- win took her out frequeutly to din- mer or a show, in fact kept rather steady company with her. That was all he learned, but he was satisfied there was something more, some thing which he could uncover eas- ily enough when he wanted to, Dettly leading the topic from Baldwin to Baldwin’s work, he cas- ually mentioned the Karakhan case and got her started talking about it. Almost immediately he discov- ered that she had loved the Russian passionately and still loved him.

The following morning he walked in on Baldwin and Sergeant Holden. “Here in Vancouver,” he informed them, “there is, or was, a young fiy- er called Jim Gunnar. He had an am- phibian of his own, and he kept it at the airport. He and Karakhan went up together two or three times @ week, and Karakhan used his ship exclusively. While I'm working on another lead, I wish you'd investi- gate him, Holden, and get all the information you can.” Holden left on the assignment. Late that afternoon he returned, bringing disma! news. Young Gun- nar, he reported, had bought a new six-place plane last October and started freelancing up the Alaskan coast. : Just a month ago he had smacked up in a pea-soup fog at Baranoff Island. A whaling boat had taken him to a hospital at Novonesky, a ttle town dating from the Russian occupation of the Pacific North- west; but he had died without re gaining consciousness.

If Karakhan really had escaped by plane, young Gunnar was the logica! Derson to have taken him. Now Gun- nar was dead, and the information he might have given was forever lost, “What was he doing on the six- teenth and seventeenth of last Sep tember, Holden?” “Oa the sixteenth his ship was he ‘atthe airport.
