FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1987. : THE KEY WEST CITIZEN PAGE THREE SYNOPSIS: Neill, a young Fed- ercl agent, finds his beloved Janet locked in a cabin on Prescott Fanning’s yacht at Absalom’s Harbor. With her are a gun and Fanning’s freshly shot body. Neill hides her nearby in a disused liner, then joins Mark Bonniger, keen local investigator, to keep tab on developments. He thinks Janet shot the flashy swindler until he learns a man was hiding on the yacht. Then he suspects queer little Eyster, who hated Fanning. Also in the picture are Kettering, a Baltimore lawyer down to fish, and Ira Buckless, a tough who trails Neill. Bonniger decides to search the dark ships, asking Neill to help. Neill offers an excuse to break away. Chapter 29 ‘We Are Trapped!’ “\7OU don’t mind rowing your- 4 self ashore, do you?” Bon- niger asked. “I don’t want to take another man off the job.” “Sure, that’s all right,” Neill as- sented. “Take one of the cars and get back as quick as you can.” Meanwhile Captain Bickel had @ ked a cabin door and the ‘ party passed into the Mont- morenci. Neill turned the other way. The constabl> guarding the first gangway spoke to him as he came over. “Are you leaving us?” SGot to go to the village,” said Neill casually. “Back in an hour.” This man’s beat was back and forth across the forward deck of the Montpelier so that he could watch the faneway, on one side and the ladder on the other. He leaned over the rail watching while Neill ran down the ladder and cast off a skiff. Neill headed for the shore. There was a fresh southerly breeze to- night which capped the whole sur- face of the water with a gentle Ppephocmmetace. This: helped eill in one way, hindered him in another. Amidst the general phos- Phorescence the dip of his oars could not-be distinguished; but on the other hand he realized that the skiff itself must be silhouetted against the faintly luminous water. He went all the way to the land- ing. Satisfied then that he was out of sight, he rowed up river keep- ing close to the beach for a hun- dred yards or so, and headed back for the stern of the Montpelier. If the man on the after bridge caught sight of him it was all up, He gained the shadow of the overhanging stern without any alerm being raised.

Amidshi ly in and pushed himself along with his hands, At intervals heavy square cribs of timber had been lowered between the vessels to keep them from chafing. Neill tied his skiff to one of these, and climbed upon it. By the aid of one of the ropes sus- ding it from above, he hauled imself up to the proceso deck, and crouched under the rail, lis- tening. The Alarm Goes Up A was still Alongside ran the smooth steel hull of the Co- lumbia_ with a row of dark port- holes. Her promenade was some 10 feet higher. There were 11 men stationed about the decks of the yessels but Neill had the advan- tage of knowing where each was placed. At the moment he was safe under cover of the promenade, but he would have to expose himself when he leaped over to the Co- lumbia, and again from the Co- lumbia to the Abraham Lincoln. Aft of where he crouched, he could see a faint radiance issuing from the windows cpening on deck. It came and went. This would be the searching party in- side the ship. He crept to a ladder and ascended to the upper P enade. He was now on a level with the Columbia's promenade, Be- tween four and five feet separated rail from rail. He took off his boots and hung them around his neck. He made the first leap in safety and ran noiselessly aft along the promenade of the Columbia and around her stern. A roof overhead shielded him from the observa- tion of the watcher on the after bridge. The promenade deck of the Abraham Lincoln alongside was @n the same level. As Neili made his second leap 8 surprised voice from above ran: out: “Hey! What's that? Halt!” an: e light of a flash struck down tween the vessel: The flash didn’t @n forward on the p Riasabcnessesen Today’s Birthdays Seesceceseracuesesceseoose James L, Fieser, vice chairman of Cross, born at Ravenna, Ohio, 54 years ayo.

To get around the bow, he had to expose himself to the watcher above, but this man had been drawn aft by the cry of alarm and Neill was not seen. The men on the different ships were shouting back and forth to each other, and Neill could hear | running feet converging on the Lincoln. He worked with feverish haste. First to count windows on the promenade; 12 from the bow. There was plenty of rope. He un- rolled a coil and tied it in a slip knot to a stanchion opposite the twelfth window, letting both ends hang overboard. He _ lowered himself over the rail. His calculations were right; he came down opposite the open window of the veranda outside Janet's suite. Swinging his legs in- side, he caught hold of the top of the frame and drop} to the deck. The suite was dark, but he was aware of Janet’s presence. He heard her catch her breath in mor- tal fear, and snatch up the gun. “Jen!” he whispered. “It’s me, Neill!” 55 : A shuddering breath escaped her and the iropped to the floor.

After @ moment she murmured, speak- ing with difficulty: “No! ...

Let's see if we can’t — out what they're up to.” le drew her out on the veranda and they stood listening af the open window. In the intense still- ness, voices came drifting down from the boat deck. They distin- sy Bonniger’s voice. ody say you saw some! aboard this vessel?” “I saw something, Mr. Bonniger. A shadow, like, flitting across from rail to rail. When I turned my light that way, it was gone.” — ly else said: “I heard a 8p! % “We'll search this vessel,”. said Boi ger. “If he was on deck he couldn’t get down below,” put in Bickel. “There is always a way, captain. Ihave already found one unlocked door, yonder. It leads into the en- gine room.” There was a silence while Bickel gga examined the door. ‘ell, I'll be darned!” he said. “T'll rope this up right now. If he went down here he can't get out again.” “Forsythe,” said nniger, “go back to the Montmorenci and bring over ths rest of the search party. You men who are posted on deck, go back to oon stations keep a sharp lookout.” i239 1@ voices moved away out of hearing. “We are trapped!” murmured Janet. “As Bonniger says, “there isilr, ways a Way,” said Neill with more fd » th: te Lat use ade the tpe taddie “Let us Ww and swim for it.” f “Useless, Honey.

We must leave it looking exactly as we found it.” He snapped on the flashlight and laid it on the floor, He closed the windows on the veranda and the French windows, and they set about gathering up everything they had brought into the suite: ropes, bucket, spare clothes. The remains of the food and water were put in the bread box. It made a considerable load to divide be- tween them. When they were ready, Neill unbolted all the doors giving on the corridor as they Er toon when they came. They stole out, carrying their belongings.

'F there was ever a snapshooter’s paradise, it’s school for those who attend it. It may be a one-room school or it may be a great uni- versity. Wherever, whatever it may de, it’s crammed with unbeatable picture possibilities. Yet we might as well face the-fact, of the matter—few snapshooters make the most of school's’ siidp- ehooting opportunities..; ,,{; }{ Perhaps they are dazzled by the very wealth of the’ materiat ahand: More likely, they assume that some- body else is going to take the pité' tures. And that’s a fatal mistake. For nobody else can see things as you see them. And it’s what you see that means most to you—and to the folks at home, now or years from now. The question, then, is how to make the most of school’s picture possi- bilities. A little planning will do the trick. First, about the right camera for school. Any camera will do, provid- ing it is clean and in good order and uses a size of film that is easily available anywhere. If yours has a fast lens and a fast shutter, you'll have an advantage in taking shots at sporting events, but such a cam- era is not at all essential. With a little care you can make even the | simplest box camera turn out en- tirely satisfactory pictures. Then, how can snapshooting be planned? All of it, of course, cannot be planned, but many of the most important shots can be. Why not jwork out a scenario, Hollywood fash- ion? “UPW6t Of'all, whether-sehool’s just Around the, ¢arner”or-a thousand miles away, you'll want a few. shote of homp.jThen a vie taken on the thosé TeWa's¢: Dut-wait.a few years. two At school, of course, there are the | obvious shots of the buildings, the | grounds, few classinates, teachers, | old friends, sports, picnics, class ceremonies, and so! on. It’s a good idea to take them so as to form & kind of continued story. Then, when they are mounted in your album, the pictorial story will flow along evenly. A really good collection of school pictures is hard to find, as any school year-book editor will tell you. Yet there's; nothing much easier to take; and few snapshots increase in value, year after year, | as surely as those taken at school.
