distant. If doubt existed in her mind as to the identity of it's pilot. were he friend or enemy, 1t was soon erased by his hail.
 'Patria. Quick-swim of to me. :" The pilots pistol rattled again.
 DOnald's voice, Patria was no more afraid; and water was as her native clement. Without hesitation she dived md struck off toward the plane.
 Little more than minute later Parr was helping her to climb up on one of the pontOOns, then to a seat beside sing richochetted over the waters and tear through the covering of the planes.
 She was no more than settled in her place when Parr began to manipulate he controls and the seaplane skinned the surface of the harbor in q long. graceful curve, then began to rise. |.
 Back on the island, standing beside the biplane, Captain Hakuseki wit messed the successful evasion in a rage that rufiled even his racial placidity. In his understanding the affair Was .ntolerable; though he perished en- dcavoring to prevent it. this escape must not be permitted.
 Summoning assistants. he turned to- ward the biplane-and paused as his foot struck what one swift down glance identified as the tin of nitroglycerin. Inspired by this accident. he picked up the tin. crammed it into a side pocket of his khaki coat. and clambered to the pilots seat. Provided he might maneuver his aircraft above the other he would need only to drop this dead ly bomb; and there would he nothing left of the fugitives.
 roar the propellers began to revoIve. Hakuseki grasped the controls. The machine shot of down the beach aud took the air at the waters edge.
 The seaplane, seeking a high level. was rising in a wide spiral. AS yet it was not high. and the Japanese plane was the better at climbing. Within u space of time incredibly brief the two were lowering on an approXi- mate level, high above the island.
 One shot might serve his end. The temptation was too strong to be resist ed. Hakuseki drew his pistol. and opened fire.
 In Parr'S machine. Patria Charming took the weapon proffered by her res ruer and. leaving him free to attend fs fss q back at length upon the plane and re- turned the fire of the Japanese.
 Hakuseki was conscious of some thing like the impact of fist between his eyes. Blindness followed. with agonizing pain. He crumpled in his seat, lurching forward against the con trols. His last conscious thought was one of terror; the biplane was falling: the tin of explosive remained iD his pocket; when he came to earth ,he would be utterly annihilated. Uncon- sciousness mercifully ensued.
 Nose down. the blplane dived like a plummet; but the body of 1Haku- sei. thrown from it's place. distanced the machine. The summit of the great dune that housed the store cfsexplo- sives received the full impact of it's fall. An instantaneous explosion sig naled the extermination of Hakuseki. Barely breath later the dune opened up like the crater of volcano. belch- ing smoke and flame to the skies. De tonation followed detonation more swiftly than reeling seuscs could reck- on. The little island. rocked. disin- Iegrating. The sea. rose shouting and it. Clouds of steam ob- scured the debacle. f.sf
