C.j GAME TO LEAD; YANK: oe seh Saeee interesting from start to liners kept up the river. When he returns to the skiff after explor- ing the decks, Janet tells of see- ing a man watching her. Chapter 11 Into The Black Ship yes suspected that this was a hallucination. Janet had been renaey wildly ever since he had found her. If anybody had become suspicious of their movements, he would naturally raise an alarm. Just to hover around them watch- ing wasn’t good sense. .. , But there might be something in it! However, the die was cast now. It was too late to look for another hiding ee He intended to sink the skiff, and he hoped that they couldn’t be traced aboard the ship anyhow. “It’s all right, Jen,” he said with assumed cheerfulness. “Just an idental meeting in the ‘dark. fably/a fi- .erman visiting his nets... . He went right away so he means.us no harm.” He cast off the line and rowed back towarcs the ship. Before ap- roaching the ladder, he lay on fis oars listening. There was no sound. Satisfied that nobody ‘was watching them, he rowed on and, tying the skiff to the Jacob’s ladder, started up, telling Janet to follow him. On deck he had already picked out a coil of steel cable as heavy as he could lift and a light rope. Tying the rope to the coil, he low- ered it overboard, and hitching the rope to a stanchion, set Janet to watch at the corner of the deck- house, and went down the ladder again. He tied the steel cable to a seat of the skiff, and thrust the oars under so that they could not float free. Then tying the box of food and the rug to the end of the rope, he stood on the gunwale of the skiff until she took water, filled and sank. Returning to the deck, he pulled up their supplies and drew in the ladder. As he was rolling up the ladder, Janet came to whisper: “There’s a man coming across the decks. He has a light.” “Take off your shoes,” said Neill. He stood the rolled-up ladder alongside the others and, snatch- ing .) their belongings, ran aft with Janet at his heels. As they reached the after ladder and went up, the light was visible up for- ‘ard, but they were beyond reach of its rays. They ran forward on the boat deck. With his pocket- knife, Neill cut one of the ropes that fastened the canvas cover of a life boat. Helping Janet under it, he followed her into the boat. zeenin’ out under the cover, he saw the oe mounting the ladder astern and coming towards them. He ducked. Soon they could hear the leisurely footste of the watchman. He stop alongside where they lay, and Neill held his breath. Janet's hand convulsively gripped his. There was a moment of horrible suspense; then they heard a match struck. The man puffed at his pipe and moved on. Neill quivered with inward laughter. “He might as well catch us as scare us to death,” he said. Looking out under the cover, he saw the man going down the for- ward ladder. era eared him a morgen he Sey out of the at and, creeping forward, peep- ed Seek the edge of the deck. He saw the watchman returning over the gangplank with his lantern, and let out a long breath of relief. Down The Iron Stairs“! WHEN Neill had changed to dry garments, they set about find- tog ome way into the ship. All the cabin doors were locked, but alongside the engine room sky- light above the boat deck they found a booby hatch with a door which had no lock. Neill opened it, and cast his light down into the bowels of the ship. A spidery iron stairway descended into the pit. Far at the bottom gleamed the cylinder heads of the engine. “Come vn!” he said. “Not down there!” murmured Janet, hanging back. It was as forbidding as the en- trance to hell and Neill could not blame her. You had the feeling that there was something at the bottom of that blackness waiting for you. But he laughed it off. “The whole ship is ours,” he said. “We can go where we like.” “There's no place to sleep in the engine room.” “There mu here of rea quarters, and of the ship.” He started down the ri stairs with Janet follo be some way down the engineer's | ‘om there the rest | SOCIAL LEAGUE | CONTEST TODAY “If this is their mess, there must be some way of reaching the gal- ley from here,” said Neill: “And from the galley we can get into the dining saloon.” The cabins had been stripped of movables, but there were still quaint reminders of the officers who had once occupied them; pic- tures tacked to the walls, rusty pens on the desks, a stained pen- wiper. Behind one of the doors Neill found a good oilskin coat. The air of the corridors was close and dusty. Though the vessel had long been out of use, the characteristic ship’s smell still clung to her, a smell compounded of paint, oakum and grease with a faint admixture of bilge-water. As they pushed through doors and turned corners, Janet murmured fearfully: “Will we ever be able to find our way back again?” Neill laughed. “Our motto is ‘Forward,’ Honey!” They found the galley, an im- mense room with aicopking range extending almost the Whole width of the ship. ' Beyond lay bakery, butcher shop, refrigerating rooms and pantries. They pushed open a swinging door and found them- selves in a saloon big enough to seat six or seven hundred people. Their flashlight was not strong enough to reach into the corners. The chairs had been removed but the tables remained fixed to the floor. Neill’s light picked up a piano against the wall. Putting down his burdens, he turned back the cover and struck a few cords. “The Ocean Blues!” he said, grinning. Janet laid her hands on his, “Don’t! Don’t!” “Nobody can hear us.” “It isn’t that. The music fills the ship with ghosts!” Finding The Royal Suite pao among the litter of things stored in the big saloon, Neill picked a coil of thin strong rope and a ball of tarred twine that he said would come in handy. Adding these things to his burdens, he led the way up the grand stairway. He figured that the saloon was on E deck, starting with the boat deck as A. On D deck they found sleep- ing cabins, but they were narrow and cramped. “The most expensive accommo- dations are above,” he said. “We might as well take the best.” mn C deck the rooms were big- ger and arranged en suite, each with its bathroom. od confined themselves to the portside of the vessel, that is to say the side with windows looking away from the shore. Neill would not be satisfied until he had opened each door and looked in. Amidships they found a suite larger and more luxurious than any other. It consisted of a parlor with a bedroom on either side. The parlor had two pairs of French windows opening out on a little private veranda or deck, with a row of heavy plate glass windows overlooking the water. “This is certainly the royal suite,” he said. “Just our style.” Janet who had borne herself with good courage since coming aboard, began to shake when the strain relaxed. “Oh, Neill!” she faltered. He took her in his arms and, dropping on a sofa, held her close until she quieted. What she had been through was too terrible to be talked about yet. Whatever had happened, she was dearer to him than his life. Afterwards he opened the win- dows to sweeten the air. The whole suite was paneled in gare woods. The movable arti¢les' had been carried away, but the thick car- ts still covered the floor, the | jto left. | Carthy uxurious overstuffed couches were in place, also the built-in furniture which matched the pan- elling—wardrobes, cabinets, dress- ing tables, desks. He called Janet's attention to the stout bolts on the inside of every door. “You will feel safe behind those when I have to leave you.” “Leave me?” she said appre- hensively. “We can’t stay here indefinitely. We only have food enough for two days and two bottles of water. I have to find out what is going on, and get you clothes and make ar- Tangements for a complete get aw: if I must.” * said Neill, eep all the d proves that they never trouble the cabins of the ships. The decks and the engines keep them busy.” (Copyright, 1937, by Bulbert Pootner) Janet tells Neill what happened on the yacht, tomorrow, ; three. \ended {mer outfit. | The runs came in the st inning.
