The two met in midfield. They Daused a mom2ni. Grahame saw his swung south. For twenty minutes by the illuminated dial of Frank's wrist watch they followed the coast. The plane seemed to shake more excessively than it had on the pre- vious flight. Something hot stung Frank's cheek. He put up his hand; his face felt hot and greasy. Strain- ing about in his seat he called. “Engine loosening up, Spin. Let’s get back to Caliente.” “I know it!” yelled Winslow. “I haven’t been able to raise her in the last ten minutes!” Frank pursed his lips in an in- audible whistle. That meant they were losing altitude. They could not lift over the coast range that Blocked them from Caliente field. The vibration would get steadily worse. : Already the whirling crankshaft was putting an impossible strain on the connectingrods.. Within min- utes one of them would give; then, if the big motor did not fly apart, it would stall. The plane was nose- heavy.

There's a kind of a arbor, and south of It a thousand miles of the world’s lousiest road.” “When did they leave?” “About an hour ago. Two men, ad the girl from the plane, and the guy who was waiting with the car.” “How did Miss Kent look?” Their informant swayed his shoul- ders and Minkec his eyes; it was\a poor Imitation of an intoxicated per | hae - “Can the act,” warned Winslow gruifly. ‘HE man shrugged his shoulders; and said, “It ain't illegal in this country, They looked kind of biotto fyi abk me.

Ready, Frank?” The field man valked with them to their ship. “Ye commented that the propellor was off balance, which Winslow ackaowledged. He then suggested that the beach at £ncin- ada could be landed on if the tide were out. “Thanks, old man,” said Grahame, “We'll get along.” They lifted ont of the Seld and roared acros: the low range that lay between them an? the cnast.

The plane lurched, leveled, and Frank was conscious of a shock and the sounds of cracking and of rend- ing about him. Sea water, in a never-ending cascade, poured over his head. He struggled with his safety belt and stood erect. Through the hiss of breaking seas, Winslow called to him in a voice charged with anxiety. Frank replied hoarsely, How about you, Spin?” “Same heve. Was that a wet smack! Meet the world’s best crack- up man, Gn the stunt-man's day off he crashes—” A black-throated comber reared its crest above them.

Swiftly it began to move toward them topped with Dhosphorescent spindrift. “Come on, Spin, a big one’s com- ing.” Spin did not answer. Frank strained his eyes toward him, a sud- den fear gripping his heart. He made out his companion’s face, white against the black sea. “Get going, frank.” Winslow's voice was weak. “My arm's on the « besides, { can’t swim any- “Okay, lack bulk of the oncoming comber arose; it blotted out the stars.
