The petty officer was dismissed with
orders to keep his tender oversize. On
nearly quarter speed the destroyer crept
around the light, and then, guided by
occasional guarded flashes from a small
pocket lamp from Davidson's tender,
crept to a berth within 500 feet of the
launch. Instructions were sent to pa-
wilson in regard to the signals to be EN-,
ployed when the u-53 appeared, and
then began a period of waiting.
Grant, Dixie and the commander were
Crouching in the bow of the destroyer
attempting to pierce the darkness which
concealed the launch from them when
suddenly they were all three blinded
by the glare of a powerful light a
clumsy sailor on board the launch had
tripped over the feed wire of the i'm
provised searchlight and had turned the
destroyer into bold relief. The light

were unintelligible but evidently COM

rushed off. He had OWNED the intent

and was speeding across the waters
toward the launch. Before he reached
it, however, a bright glare showed ex-
posing a man on the deck throwing a
piece of oiled waste into the hold. Then
the glare of the searchlights from the
destroyer caught him and he dived over
board.
Grant sprang from the tender and
grasped the railing of the launch. He
drew himself up on deck and then run

glance was enough to show him that
there was no hope of putting out the
fire and thus preserving the evidence
against the captain and the crew. Then

national law in taking on supplies from

The earnestness of the commander ap-
pealed to Grant. The president of the
Criminology Club had been won to the
side of caution by the miscarriage of the
original plans. and had been in favor OF
capturing the launch as soon as 1t was
sighted The virtual impossibility or
the launch being able to escape after

consent to the commanders plan.

But only for a minute did he lay

to smile wanly at the sight of the girl

over his face. for Dixie Mason had a
very resolute manner about her. More
than that, in her tightly clenChed hand,

laden with miscellaneous supplies were

Heinrich Won Lertz. who had started
toward the boat. Dixie and Grant were
surprised when their glasses showed that
the occupant of the motorboat was a
woman-Baroness Nerbecht.
The Baroness talked emphatically and
with many gestures, making a sweeping
movement with her arms which took in
the hills upon which his party of raiders
was scCreted. For a moment Grant was
puzzled. Then he realized that by some

the Baroness Nerbecht had been on the
way to the village TO send message to
Won Bernstorff that the U-53 had ar
rived at the base safely when she had
observed the big launch, had recognized
Grant and had then Pped back to the
hut to spread the alarm.
Heinric Won Lertz dashed back to the
hut as soon as he comprehended the

she sped to the dock and repeated her
message to the trio standing on the deck
of the submarine. Their expressions OF

had been crafty in her escape Instead
of making for East Machis, where she
would surely have been held, she con-
