In smoke wreathed rooms slackened
when Capper lurched in, found a seat
and ordered a drink; dock rats drew
aside and consulted in whispers. When
Capper retreated from an evil dive on
the very edge of the Quai, Woodhouse,
waiting by the doors, saw that he
was not the only shadower. Close
against the dead walls fianking the
narrow pavement a Sinking figure
twisted and writhed after the drunk
ard, now spread eagling all yer the
street.
Woodhouse quickened his pace on
the opposite sidewalk. The street was
one lined with warehouses, their close
ly shattered windows the only eyes.
Capper dropped his stick, laboriously
halted and started to go back for it.
That instant the shadow against the
walls detached itself and darted for
the victim. Woodhouse leaped to the
cobbles and gained Capper's side just
as he dropped like a sack of rags I'M

and faced Woodhouse. Quicker than
light the captains right arm shot out;
a thud as of a maui OF an empty wine
butt and the Apache turned a half
somersault, striking the cobbles with
the back of his head. Woodhouse
stopped, lifted the limp Capper from
the street stones and staggered with
him to the lighted avenue of the Can
nebiere, a block away. He hailed a
late cruising fiacre, propped Capper In
the seat and took his place beside him.

to make a quick examination Of the
unconscious man by his side. He fear

but q nasty cut on the head, made by
brass knuckles. With the wine help

Capper out, he reflected.
Woodhouse turned his back on the
bundle of clothes and reached for the
malacca stick. Even in his coma its
owner grasped it tenaciously at mid
length. Without trying to disengage

he murmured, with a wry smile of dis

The conveyance trundled down a long

of a black hull spotted with round

tip, helped Woodhouse lift Capper to
the ground and prop him against a
bulkhead. A bos'n, summoned from
