so " elSh has me sized up He
knows why cut the flights short, he
said drearily as he crossed the sand
dunes to the squat shed overlooking
the station, where the a6roplane was
housed
He was not surprised that they had
found out, and he knew that the final
break was bound to come soon. And
ther-the debacle! Ford realized the
impossibility of explaining psyche
logical facts to these grim men of the
beach, who took no count of self in
tcrest or the first law of nature. The
thought of what it meant for his young
wife, sick in the little village across the
bay, if he lost his scanty Government
pay, was additional torture to the
tortured nerves that had gone to pieces
after that terrible mile-high tumble
from the clouds at Frisco
you're only shook up bit: you'll
come back, old chap" That's what
the other birdmen, who envied his dar-
ing, had said; but Ford knew better.
That miraculous escape had left him
with an abiding horror of high places,
a fear of flying. Only the girls imme-
date necessity had forced him into
temporary employment with the
Government.
For relief Ford turned mechanically
to the aeroplane, preparing it for the
daily search of the sea. AS he busted
himself with the familiar bolts and
screws, an envelop dropped on the
ground. 1t was letter he had received
that morning in Barnegat village and
thrust unread into his pocket. He
opened it and glanced at the heading:
THE DEEP SEA WRECKING
COMPANY,
WILLIAM G. HANDY, PRES
Billy Handy! He hadn't heard from
Billy in years: not since the days of
his hard luck, anyway. The note was
suggestively abrupt.
DEAR JIM-No doubt you know the
latest Philippines disaster. The company
is prepared to whack up for first publica
ton and exploitation of specific Eastern
material that may reach you by sea. To
prevent official piracy we should be adj
vised at once on receipt of news. that we
may have our correspondent on the
ground Let me know how this strikes
you.
Yours for wealth, health, and happi
