Tt was that kind of sympathetic si lence which is only possible where harmony exists, and, indeed, of all the things strange and bazarre which characterized the Inquiry, this sud- den amity between Kerry and Seton Pasha was not the least remarkable, It represented the fruit of a mutual reapect. “Bin Sin Wa fs cunning,” said Seton suddenly. “I have a premon. ition, chief inapector, that whoever else may fall into the net, Bin Sin Wa will alip out. We have one big chance.” “What's that.” rapped Kerry. “The dope syndicate can only have get control of ‘the traffic’ In one way —by paying big prices and buying out competitors. If they cease to carry on for even a week they lose their control. The people who bring the stuff over from Japan, South America, India, Holland and so forth will sell somewhere else if they can't sell to Kazmah and company. There- fore, we want to watch the ships from likely porte, or, better still, get among the men who do the smuggling. There must be resorts along the riverside used by people jot that class.

Closer inshore drew the boat, passing a series of wharves, and be- yond these a tract of waste, desolate bank very gloomy in the half light and apparently boasting no habita- tion of man. A light sprang into view some little distance inland, notable because it shone lonely in an expanse of utter blackness, Kerry broke the long silence, “Dougal's,” he said, “Put us ashore here.” ‘The police boat was pulled in un- |der a rickety wooden structure, and Kerry and Seton disembarked, |mounting @ short flight of slimy | wooden steps, “Dougal's is being watched,” said Kerry. “I think I told you?

As they proceeded across the muddy wilderness towards the light which marked the site of Dougal’s, they presented a picture of a sufficiently villainous pair. “What is Dougal’s exactly?” Seton ed; “a public house?” No,” rapped Kerry. “It's a cat fee shop used by the dockers.” He crossed and pushed open the swing door.
