Still meekly, she obeyed.
Del Mar seized her, and before she

Knowing that the submarine would
cruise about and wait for him. Del
Mar decided to leave Elaine In the
hut while he went out and searched
for boat in which to look for the sub

Coming out of the hut, he gaxed
about and moved on cautiously.
Stealthily he went down to the shore

Del Mar aimed and fired. One OF

cry and fallen back into the water
Invaders seemed to swarm up now
in every direction from the water.
On the semicircular ledge about one
side of the harbor, Del Mars men were
now ranged in close order near q sub

a large number managed to gain q

were more equal now. Several of Del

In the ONCE Elaine listened keenly
to the shots. What did It all mean
Clearly it could be nothing less than
assistance coming.
The man on guard heard also and
his uncomfortable curiosity took him
to the door. As he gazed out Elaine
saw her chance. She made q rush At
him and seized him. Wrestling the rifle
from his hands before he knew It.
She sprang back Just a. he drew his
revolver and fired at her. The shot just

Hastily they began to pile into the

George II. Angus started the discus
sion, asking Mr.. Hollinger the cause Of
the delay in repairing KaIakaua avenue
near the beach. Mr.. Hollinger replied
he could not answer. He had made sew.
eral attempts 10 learn the cause, he
said, but no satisfactory explanation
was forthcoming from the city engineer
81 m Disguised with the whole stu

gineer who is supposed to know his
business, and yet things are carried out
in haphazard manner and we never
get anywhere. There Is not day that

situation is frightful.' -
Then the supervisor was told that
a perilous situation prevails at MOana,
lua Park. Autoists are constantly
breaking the speed ordinance, mount
ing the steep hin Eva Of Fort Shafter
and coming around the curves Mt
reckless speed.
The supervisor replied that the speed
limits were not only fractured at Mo
analua, but in the downtown district
He said it was not a question OF insult
ficient officers to detect the violations
for some officers countenanced speeding
at crossings downtown.
"There' 8 nothing that can be done,
Mr.. Hollinger declared. "We can 7
get anything ont Of Sheriff Rose"
Members Of the committee made II
plain they were not speaking officially
and did not want to be understood al

All were agreed, however, that the roaC
situation is deplorable and something
should be done, especially in the inter
