The men in the American patrol
who made a sudden dash for the
American lines fro ma shell hole near
the German trenches where they had
been hiding have explained why they
started out in broad daylight on
their backward sprint. They had lost
their way in the dark in No Mans
Land and got into the shell hole aft

Finally the men got hungry and all
of them decided they would rather
take a chance with German bullets

CHAPTER xiv.
The unheeded Warninu.

On the evening of the same day
London was stirred by sensation
which eclipsed even the interest in the
progress of the war. The evening
newspapers contained, in full, Donalds
narration Of the approaching ruin Of
the world.
The second sea lord, receiving Don.
AIDS name, came to the conclusion that
matters of the most pressing moment
must have brought the unknown young
American naval officer. He rose from
his desk and shook hands with him
cordially. "Sit down, Mr.. Paget," he
said warmly. Then he noticed that
Donald was dressed in nondescript
diving suit and that his looks were de-
cldediy Wild. '~ss.ssusss.- .,4sss,.-
Donald sat down and plunged in
stantly into the story Of the world
danger: It did not lose its dramatic
interest in the manner Of its telling.
"You must stop the war at once"
Donald ended. "Unite all nations Of
the earth, for that is the only way to
save the human race. 1t is a matter
OF hours, perhaps. Even now these
monsters may be speeding southwark"
The second sea lord had been unable
to interpose word by reason of the
torrent Of impassioned speech that
poured from Donald's lips AT first he
listened in Amusement Mt what he con-
sidered an impudeut hoax; then in
anger; then. after a brief glance ut
Donald's face. with absolute passivity.

up his hands and raved. Coward as he
was, he could not let his last hope slip
from him like that.
He was the loneliest man in the
world, as he had always been. But he
had not known it or cared. He had
rebelled against the human race. He
was the modern Cain; he had plotted
the ruin Of the world, over which he
was to rule, godlike. But that was be.
fore he had set eyes upon Ida Ken.
nedy.
The thought of her renewed his cour.
age. He found his motorboat upon
the shore, uniajured by the inundation
since the point of rock had acted as q
breakwater and protected it. Within
O few minutes he had filled his great
gasoline reservoir with supply sufti.
cient for several days, and set out in
pursuit Of the herd. He knew that he
could easily outdistance the subma.
rine.
Presently he came upon the mon.
sters. Their first wild dash had taken
them in all directions, so that little
vapor had formed, but now they were
beginning to congregate, and wall Of
black cloud, rising in the distance, In
dicated their direction.
The monsters made no effort to mo-
lest him, but they would not, ut first,
heed his tuning fork. Later, however,
he managed to assemble q small
bodyguard about him.
MacBeard pursued them down the
east coast Of England. His boat, hid
den in the cloud, remained undetected
by the patrol vessels.
1t was not until the second morning
that he guessed where the herd would
make its main rendezvous.
1t was simple deductive process,
though nobody else had thought Of 1t.
II was the Dogger bank, swarming
with FISH, which would provide the
monsters with food.
He believed that, once the first dash
of the monsters was over they would
obey his chill again. And his first sum-
mons proved successful beyond his ex-
pectations. Exhausted by their dash

gregated about the motorboat to tho
