So much was known. If it had been
an ordinary dlSaSter--an act OF PrOvl-
dence-no blame could attach to any,
one, and Wander could only hope for bet
ter luck next time. But if it was put-up
job, a case of dynamite, or an internal
machine, as the Chief declared. then the
Roberts agency, in the words of the same
authority, was up against tough propo-
sition.
And the specter of foul play would not
down; for it was common knowledge
that Adolphe Wander represented as
much outside speculative insurance as
crowned monarch in Lloyd's, of common
knowledge the one insurance corporation
that will bet with anyone on anything,
from the antiquity of the Rock of Ages to
the next shipwreck on the Reef of Nor
mans Woe. And, as intimated by the
Chief of Police. Superintendent Roberts
was under contract with Lloyds to pro-
tect the company's big insurance risks
from preventable accidents.
'Preventable-tha just it," That
was the uncertainty that bothered Rob-
erts, that and the possibility that among
the spectators insuring the million
aire against accident was included some
colossal criminal with designs on Vander's
life. "Ill have to crawfsh to the Chief on
the chance that he's happened on some

incentives put forth his best efforts toward solving
mystery that so far had baed the combined forces of
police, press. and the Government itself.

had sent Millionaire VanderS palatlal steam yacht to
