though every muscle and tendon APP
peared to be strained and lacerated.
Clinching my teeth to keep back a
groan, succeeded in sitting upright,
my head touching the upper deck, as
I undertook to survey my surround

be occupied, the figures Of the sleeping
men barely discernible.

Monmouth rebellion in England.
Among the passengers on board
the ship on which he is sent
across are Roger Fairfax,
wealthy Maryland planter; his
niece, Dorothy Fairfax, and Lieu

became acquainted with the Fair

Sanchez shows himself an enemy
of Carlyle. The Fairfax party,
now on it's own sloop in the
Chesapeake bay, encounters a
mysterious bark, the Namur of

that Sanchez is s'Black Sanchez"
planning to steal the Fairfax

Spray Painting corruaated steel.

The corrugated steel used for air
plane hangers in this country and over
seas was painted before shipment.
Owing to the large quantity of steel,
it was out of the question to do this
work by hand and machines could not
be used on account of the corrugations.
For this reason. a spray system Of
painting was employed. First, the
sheets were coated with red lead be-
fore being corrugated. and after that
they received coating of green on

toward Estada, who had already COM

"Go" the latter growled. "Why

dim. spectral shadow, scarcely to be

revealed in all its details-a boat of
size, flying toward us under a lug sail,
keeling well over, and topping the sea
gwells like a bird on wing. LeVere
