MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1987. SYNOPSIS: Neill, a young fed- eral agent, finds his beloved Janet, a gun and Prescott Fan- ning’s freshly shot body locked in a cabin on Fanning’s yacht at Absalom’s Harbor. Neill hides her nearby in a disused liner, then joins Mark Bonniger, local in- vestigator. When Neill learns Janet didn’t shoot the flashy swindler, he suspects queer little Eyster, who hated Fanning. Also on hand are Kettering, a Balti- more lawyer, and Ira Buckless, @ tough who trails Neill. While Bonniger leads a search of the dark ships, Neill breaks away, gets Janet and they dodge the searchers. Neill rejoins Bonniger, Chapter 31 Trouble On The Yacht ‘HE search of the four ships was completed about midnight, and Bonniger grimly conceded defeat. That he was not satisfied became | clear when he left six deputies be- hind him to co-operate with Bick- el’s men in watching the decks until morning. The rest of the party started for the skiffs. Kettering as usual was at hand to put in his oar. “There's always some darn fool who raises an alarm,” he said. “That guy was see- ing things at nightl”: z Ronnies ggsarted Bis, how long?-Neill couldn’t-afford to relax,at all Bee fenly, nealized he was pretty nearly dead sag ane as mony nm he ani avarice. stooc einer on’ the Platipr at pos f f der nto het DP tering Spee Wet “Congratulations, Wheatley!

Bonniger had one of the better rooms on the second floor of the hotel. He threw off his coat and vest and went to the window with » a “Woof!” of satisfaction. Bonni- ger’s stern air, Neill had learned, ‘was only to warn off fools and bbdres. When you were alone with him, if he liked you, he could be- tome very human. “Grand air down on this point,” he seid. “Grand for sleeping!” “You don’t let anything get under your skin,” said Neill en- viously. “Life is too short for that,” said Bonniger. “I was drafted for this work. I'm doing my best with what poor wits the Lord gave ine, and when I meet with a trifling setback I'm not going to let it cast me down. This case is a fascinating problem. I have all the lines in hand.

Oh, I don’t know! thought. He said nothing, Bonniger looked at him full, “You seem pretty well tuckered out,” he said. “You shouldn't take all this so hard.” Neill wished that he wouldn’t sound the friendly note. He was tting to like the man too much, h, it isn’t the case,” he said light- ly. “That's a welcome distraction. .. . I've got private troubles.” Neill offhanded| “Woman trouble, I reckon, Al- | ways is at your age.” “Well... yes,” said Neill with a wry smile. “Lord! { have known what that y simadting.

As they went out on the wharf, Virgil Longcope came running down the hill behind the store, slipping his suspenders over his shoulders. He called to them to wait for him. Virgil’s clerk, young Trueman, was-on the wharf. “Gosh! I hope there ain’t nothing wrong out there,” he said. “If there is; reckon it’s my fault.” “What do you mean?” asked Bonniger. “Come along with us.”. Trueman explained while Wil- son plied the oars. “About nine o’clock fellow called up and asked for Sergeant Wilson. I said he wouldn’t be back until late. So the fellow he said he was Constable Pennorth stationed at King’s Green, 20 miles up the road.” “Was it Pennorth’s voice?” “I don’t know the man.” “Go ahead.” “Well, this fellow said he was Pennorth, he said a man drivin up the county from Cove Point ha stopped by to say that as he come Hh 1 ae i i “I’m not going to give you away,” said Ket- tering. around a turn in the Cove Point road he scen a couple jum the roed into the bushes.
