pot and another Chinese. older,
who steered the craft and at.

They paid no attention 20 him. SO
far as Clark could see they were not
even armed. The ring upon this
white mans finger was security for
his safety. Clark knew that as we'll
rs did they and the very knowledge
that he was helpless in their hands
and completely az their mercy
plunged him deeper and deeper into
despair.

blurred eyes the swif, passing shad.

trains and was responsible for a ear
end collision of elevated trains, result
ing in the death of one man and in

ways a part of it, came up from the
gulf states and storm signals were dis
played from Cape Hatteras to East
