these four was found a suitcase of
new clothes with their mOn0grams on
them. The bodies of the victims dis
appear. Chaplin and Hampton are
locked up on suspicion. Through error
the crew puts Chaplin in Arches
room where he finds Harris will and
a letter to Archie from Grace read
ing: 81 am afraid something drastic
will have to be done before your

Montgomery, aboard his yacht Car
men," while on a world cruise with his
son, Archie, and the burial in mid
Pacific. The clipping also states that
Montgomery was divorced from his
wife and that all his estate was left
to his son. Chaplin suspects Archie
of the crimes and believes Grace is
his accOmplice. Ryder slips into
Chapin's cabin and tells him that
Hampton has escaped. Archie enters
and demands his papers. Suddenly
the door opens and Hampton takes
Archie unawares and ties him up.
Hampton overheard the mate and en-.
gineer threatening mutiny. They
claim Archie is double crossing his
mother and that it was he who in
structed the crew to pretend they
could not speak English. The ships
sextant is missing so they cannot
find their way to New York. The
mate and engineer also hold Archie
responsible for this. Ryder guards
the imprisoned Archie while Hamp-
ton goes to interview the two men.
Chaplin decides to speak with Mrs.
Glass who is on the bridge.

Archie thinks it may be a large de-

"You think there may have been

Chaplin questioned.

CHAPTER TX

Haven't you any idea about who
might have put you on board? Were
you unconscious all the time?" she
asked.
"Yes-I was. The last thing that
I recall is a man in the act of hurl-
ing a chair when the Romaine Plaza
was raided. thought when I first
woke up on board here that some
body had mistaken me for someone
else. Then found the suitcase with
clothes that seemed to have been
made for me. Later, when I came
upon Mr.. Hart, I knew that there
was some mysterious purpose be-
hind my being here. May I ask what
time you came aboard yesterday"
eft was some time early in the
evening. Archie said that we would
not sail before midnight. So daddy
and I came on a little while after
dinner"
"Did you retire before the yacht
sailed?"
81 did. I was dog tired. stayed
up as long as I could. left daddy
reading in the lounge. He said he

We're in the lounge. They said they

"What kind of a drink were they
having? Did they have anything to
eat with it? And where was Dupont

should have an opportunity to in

personal regard for Mr.. Hart, and no
one is more anxious than I to find
the real murderer. can see no
reason why I should not ask you a
few questions" His voice held a
quality of determination to acknow-
ledge, however reluctant.
"Well!" her tone was flat.
"What were they drinking?" he
asked tersely.
"Whiskey sour, I think. If they
had anything to eat with it, I didn't
see anything" she answered sullenly.
"And Mr.. Dupont

the question, precipitantly.

"Then you had met her before"
he ventured cautiously.

Of MISSING SCOUT.
SearcherS Believe Youth
May Have Fallen Into
Tuiunga Dam.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, August 15.-Grave
fear for the life of Vincent Slocum
was expressed today by searchers as
the second day passed without a def
mite trace of the 14-year-old Boy
Scout. who disappeared in the noun
tains above Big Tujunga Dam while
on a camping trip with eight other
Scouts.
Searchers, who tramped through
every section of the mountain area
In the past 48 hours, said the reSer-
voir would be dragged today on the
theory that the boy might have fallen
into it.

Describes Night of Terror.
A night of terror in the wilds of
upper White Oak Canyon was de-
scribed by one of the Boy Scouts, two
of whom were seriously hurt in falls
from cliffs.
The injured boys, who became sep
arated before they fell, are: Lippert, in
the Torrance Hospital with a broken
leg, numerous cuts and bruises, and
Edward Ketton, in the Glendale Hos
pital in a delirious condition after he
was found wedged between two huge
rocks, where he had lain throughout
the night.
Young Lippert was saved from
night of exposure and horror through
the loyalty of his chum, John Gilmer,
who hiked through the underbrush
several miles for aid when he saw
Lippert slip and topple down 125-
foot cliff.
Rescued by Chance.
Chance caused the rescue of the Ket-
ton boy. Deputy Sheriffs w. L. Killian
and G. l. Epperson and Forest Ranger
Frank Begie were rowing across the lake
formed by the big Tujunga Dam and
were nearing the mouth of White Oak
Canyon when they heard scream.
That's a wildcat" said one of the
men. NO." he shouted, 'it's one of
the boys"
They hurriedly rowed to shore.
Guided by the cries, they elambered
over rocks until they reached the
youth wedged between two huge
boulders. He had fallen more than
400 feet down the side of the canyon.
He cried and mumbled incoherently
es rescuers carefully lifted him from
the rocks and carried him to the shore
of the lake.

today, and unless one can be

hopeful something will develop

GARDENERS CALLED
TO WAR ON PESTS
Removal Of Bag Worm Cocoons
Destroys Next Years Crop,
Entomologists Say.
'Pick the little bag worms now"
w. - @l.A nar,o ~ ant nf

''Pick the little bag worms now"
Entomologists at the Department OF
Agriculture released that warning to-
day to gardeners in Washington and
vicinity whose shrubs have been strip
ped this Summer by the destructive
little worm that conceals itself in an
attractive cocoon and eats glutton-
ously of the tender foliage.
The bag worms attacked shrubbery
in Washington and nearby Maryland
and Virginia more savagely this Sum-
mer than in many years, and the
entolomogists declare very little can
be done now to control the pest.
The worms, it was said, have stop
ped feeding, and are about to go to
sleep for the long Winter months, 50
that the shrubs will not be further
damaged. Removal of the cocoons is
suggested, however, as a means of de-
stroying next years crop.
The best time to attack the bag
worm, the entomologists say, is about
June Is, when the eggs in the cocoon
of the female start to hatch. A solu-
tion of arsenate of lead and water,
mixed in the proportion of six tea
spoonfuls of powder to a gallon of
water is guaranteed to be effective.
The little bag worm attacks partic-
ularly such shrubs as arbor vitae,
juniper and spruce, and sometimes
they have been found on cedars,
maple trees and even rose bushes.
The cocoons. covered with the green
foliage of the shrub hang in pro-
tected spots and are difficult to find.

Novice Driver Hurt
 In Triple Accident
Joseph Rabbit, l9, Suffers Painful Laceratons;
 Louis vetele Narrowly Escapes Bleeding to Death

The fourth weekend of Safety Month brought this section no fatal accidents, but a number of crashes in which serious injury was nar- rowly averted.
 A three-car smash-u that com pletely demolished one machine and badly damaged the other two took place on East Main street, just beyond Hamilton park, late last night. A passenger in one of the cars, Louis Vetele, Al, of 36 School street, lost a large amount of blood when flying glass severed an artery. At St Mary's hospital, where it was said he would have bled to death had his admission 10 the hospital been delayed, Vetele's condition was reported as good this morning. The laceration, on the side of his head, required IF stitches to close it.
 Car Recently Registered
 Vetele was a passenger in a ma chine operated by John Sebastiano of 52 Canal street. The auto was struck after a collision between cars driven by Joseph Rabbit. 19. of 15S Woodbine street, and Ignatz Dervis of 136 Woodbine street. Rabbit told Motor Patrolmen Pat rick Griffin and Joseph Garvey that he was operating under the in- struction of his brother, Michael. The Rabbit car, which had been registered only few days ago, was literally destroyed. The front end was crushed in, the rear wheels smashed into splinters, and the body hopelessly dented.
 Vetele's injuries were the only ones resulting from the crash.
