922 poe MONDAY JUNF 13, ‘The Story Se Far: Unscrupulous Marina Lorne, whose husband's post office mural has aroused Quanomet, is murdered bya left handed blow from her sister’s knife. Pam Frye appeals to Asey Mayo, Cape Cod de- tective, telling him she found $50,000 worth of ambergris which Marina tried to claim, and hid it after dis- covering the murder. Pam leaves Asey’s house because an unknown Person, who smokes Turkish cobacco, is ‘trailing ker to learn the where- abouts of the ambergris. Asey dis- covers that agreeable Tim Carr, a boarder at the Frye’s Octagon House, is left handed, smokes Turkish to- bacco, and hated Marina in New York; wealthy Roddy Strutt smashed anew plane in the square; and gabby Nettie Hobbs swears Pam is the murderer.

An excellent suggestion has been made by Mr. Boyko in his thought that all avail- able material on the colorful Pirates and wreckers he col- lected and exhibited in a “Shipwreck House“ or “Pi- rate’s Ship” museums. The material would include vol- umes on the history of the islands or the individual his- tories of the buccanneers who navigated the waters near here, name plates from ves- sels wrecked, lace, or water soaked dyes recovered from wrecked ships. pirate cut- lasses. old ship lights and figureheads.
