Mark will tell us how to do everything right.” When the clerk returned, he was sent back to call up Mark Bonniger and also the justice of the peace. “Tell Mr, Button Billings to come straight to the yacht. He lives across the harbor.” Virgil ran out of the store, ac- companied by the crew. At the door they met the doctor coming in and carried him with them. All five of them piled into the yacht’s dinghy, loading her almost to the gunwale. “No more room,” they cried, when Neill started to follow them, and rowed away. Neill was left on the wharf. He looked around for another skiff, but there were too many watching them now. Pawing For ‘Evidence’ IKE a wireless flash, word of the murder had spread from one end of the village to the other.

Where can we the police?” All three were young men without experience, and they had completely lost their heads. The saloon below was packed to suffocation. The men had pulled off their hats out of respect to the dead, and were pushing and shov- ing to get a glimpse through the door of the after cabin. Neill worked his way through them.

Virgil, being the leading citizen, felt that it was up to him to take command of the situation but it was a bit too much for him.

Nothing "tt tall enough to look over a good many heads and he saw Virgil and the doctor, helped by the two sail- ors, examining the body, searching his pockets and so on. The young steward sat on the starboard lock- er holding his head between his hands. Everything in the room—includ- ing the gun—was being well pawed over in the search for “evi- dence,” and Neill smiled grimly ta himself. Lucky he had only these hicks to deal with! He saw Virgil pick up the bullet on the floor be- side the port seat locker, and hold it up for all to see. Virgil was continually issuing orders without taking any steps to see if they were carried out. “Quit your shoving, men! Ain’t you got no sense of what is fitting? ... The girl must have swum ashore. She couldn't have got far. You, Tom Bolling, organize a posse among the men and search the woods across the harbor. Send a car up the road, somebody, to stop at every house and ask if she ap- peared for shelter!” A voice from the crowd said: “Somebody stole my skiff last night.” “Well then, maybe she tried to escape in that,” said Virgil. “A wo- man could row far.
