owned by his daughterin-law, Mrs.
Montgomery Glass. The captain is
also killed. Aboard at the time are
Mrs. Glass; her son, Archie Mont
gomery; Paul Dupont, her. lawyer;
and four of Harris employees who
were shanghaied-TaylOr Chaplin, Dick
Hampton, Grace Devin and Phil Ry-
der. In the staterOOms of each OF
these four was found a suitcase of
new clothes with their mOnOgrams 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
grandfather approves of our engage
ment." Archie orders Chaplin to his
own cabin and locks him in. Chaplin
reads the will and learns that Hart
left a million dollars each to Mrs.
Glass, Hampton, Ryder, Grace and
In with the will is a newspaper ac-
count of the sudden death of Anthony
Montgomery, aboard his yacht Gar
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. Mrs.
Glass tells Chaplin that she left Hart.

CHAPTER X

"You had no right to move the body
without telling Dupont" she buster
ed. "He's my lawyer. I put him in
charge. Go find him and bring him
up here at once. Wait a minute"
Hampton had started to descend
the stairway. He turned back and
faced her.
"You lied" she clipped bruskly.
"That engineer can't speak word Of
English"
"In a pigs neck-he can't speak
English. So could Nichols the mate,
and so could Captain Ogly." He
slammed back and motioned Chaplin
to follow him.
Archie has escaped" he said, as
they reached the deck. II went di-
rectly to your room, and there was
no one there. Guess he was too
much for Ryder"
II wonder if Ryder was to be trust
ed?" Chaplin unused.
AS Hampton and Chaplin reached
the door of the latter's room, they
heard the dumping of heavy feet
moving about within the room.
Hampton pulled open the door.
ooh, it's you" There was note Of
relief in his voice.
Chaplin, over Hampton's shoulder
saw q rough looking man in a blue
denim work-suit.
"This is Mike, the engineer"
Hampton explained to Chaplin, and
queried: "What are you doing in
here?"

in all the rooms" He held up tube
found in Chapin's bathroom. "There
must be something to that idea of
yourn. There amt no gritty stuff
in this. Bullock at these" He

tubes. Tiny flecks glittered through
the cream, as from the tube Hampton
had exhibited.
"Where did you pick those up?"
Hampton cried.

"All Of 'em 'cept Mr.. Duponts. He

round. I got the bunch Of keys from

Chaplin asked: "Did you say that

Hampton nodded. "Want to look

coat and stumbled out Of the room.
He was careful, however, to wait un-
til Hampton and Chaplin emerged, SO
that he could lock the door.
AS he rushed ahead Hampton said:
maybe we'll find Archie in Room j."
Chaplin knocked on the door Of
Room J. There was no sound from
within. Hampton looked into the
lounge and came back to Chaplin.
"Looks as though we'd lost the girl
as we'll as Archie. Where do you
suppose Ryder went to-"
They walked around the deck to
Room E. The door was locked but
the window was wide open, curtains
fluttering in the wind. Chaplin stuck
his head in the window and called

"What about the girl?"
dumped in to save Archie"
"May as well try the bridge. They
may be up there" Chaplin said, and
had one foot on the stairway when a
feeble cry that seemed to come from
the direction of the bow caught their
ears.
Hampton raced down to the fore
deck. Several of the running-lights
were out, and those that remained cast
faint rays, and left part Of the fore
deck in shadow.
"Over here" whimpered voice.
"He threw me over the rail-"
Chaplin walked few PAGES. and then
saw the little jockey crumpled up
against one of the ventilators
"What happened?" he asked as he
started to lift him.

They carried him to Room E and
laid him on the bed. Hampton ex-
amined the leg. Saw that it was
badly bruised and bleeding, but not
broken. Chaplin helped him tear up
sheet and bandage it.
Ryder said between groans. "He

Hampton told him and added:

"T'm gonna take the Carmen into

"Mrs. Glass seems to have gone
astray because she lost the sextant,"
Chaplin began.
"Lost-me eye! There's some
scheme afoot to lose all of US. May

Gold Dust Twins Dig
Up Gold Data for

THE phantom gold dust twins

secretly completed their sill
L yer report for the President
more than a week ago.
They dug up all the data on two
possible courses of action: (A) pur-
chase of all silver stocks and lB)
devaluation of the silver dollar.
For the past few days silver agi-
tators have been passing out, sub
rosa the tip that Mr.. Roosevelt will
devalue the silver dollar equally with
gold That would boost the price Of
silver to sl.O9. 1t is now 641a cents.
They have handed out so many bad
tips, however. that no one will believe
them any more.
