Something nearby crackled, No, it was only his imagination. ‘No, it wasn’t either. Something—some- one—was moving in the shadow of those tal] pines at the foot of the landing. Casually, Asey turned his head and stared. “but his eyes couldn't penetrate these deep shadows. Probably the fellow was crawling thick quiet layers of ;pine needles, screened by the beachplum bushes that fringed the shore, It was a physical effort to check his impulse to start out in pursuit. Tf only, Asey thought, he were alone! Somehow he'd get the fel- low. But there was the girl to eon- sider, and other little items, too. This fellow could see ‘them, but they couldn’t see him. He was probably armed. Asey had nothing | more vicious at hand than a clam hoe and a pair of oars. [7 the fellow wanted to take a pot shot at Pa- | mela Frye, there was nothing to stop him.
