 Armed with whisky bottle, he searched the cabin quickly and without success. He closed the door after 8 quick look outside. He re- turned to where Al knelt beside the stirring, moaning Sue.
 She hurt much2"
 Lots of blood, Chief"
 Sue opened her eyes at the sound of Mundy's gruff voice.
 I'm all right" she murmured hoarsely. "All right, Please, now you know I'm on the level. Rex I'd give my life for you. Honest, I would. Please, Rex, hold me"
 Steegcr returned with the hand kerchief. He also brought a tumbler about a third full of whisky, which he handed to Mundy. He wiped carefully at where the blood seemed to be flowing from. Mundy tried to pour some of the liquor in the girls mouth.
 For Peters sake" Steeger inter- rupted. she ain't even got a scratch"
 What"
 Not, even a scratch. Look for yourself, Chief. That Chink must have cut his hand with his own knife, and the blood must have spattered over her. Amt that just like skirtw
 Sue started to moan afresh.
 "Aw, shut up," Mundy grunted with disgust. He showed back her head, then let her drop. Come on, Al. If the guy cut himself, he's marked. We're going to find out whats behind this"
 The moon was partly obscured be- hind 8 cloud. They hurried along the deck. They did not have to look far. A guard was jabbering at the sinking figure of a man who was holding one hand wrapped in some rags. He jerked away from the guard and ran, as Mundy and Stee- ger approached.
 Over the Rail
 They cornered him near the stern and closed in dterminately. He other, trembling with terror, climb cd on the rail. He screamed and leaped. There was splash of a body.
 Whats going on here2" a voice cracked out of the half darkness. T sent Steeger down to tell you to come to the bridge, Mundy."
 It was Jean Strebor. One of the giant Russians was at her side. The yellow faces of Chinese with rifles pushed toward the spot.
 Some one was hiding in my cab in and tried to stab me-" Mundy told her. He looked as if he might have been one of the Chinese stewards on this ship when you captured it. He jumped overheard when we had him cornered here. I guess he's done for. None of those fellows can swim much"
 You're not hurt?"
 No, mo-" Mundy suddenly re- membered his role of invalid. He showed his right arm back in it's sling. That is," he grinned, I'm not hurt any more than before"
 She did not appear to notice his action.

CHAPTER v


 The ship lounge was deserted cx- cept for two women who sat on q hard sofa in one corner, talking in bated tones. The tang of the sea borne on stiffening breeze that fiuttered the curtains by two oper portholes, mixed with stale tobacco smoke and an odor of cooking in which bizarre Chinese vegetables predominated. A setting sun lent color to the rather dingy scene.
 You was right, Mabe," drawled one of the women.
 "Mundy is tough" the first woman admitted. Her voice hard ened. But ain't lost yet"
 "You'd better hurry, Sue" the other said, colorlessly. We're pretty near our destination, from all l hear. We should make what ever river we're heading for in Q a couple of hours. It won't be easy then"
 If only I could get break!"
 You aren't falling for Mundy are you?" the other asked curiously
 More Plotting
 "Falling2 That would be a screaml Why, ain't even seen him alone yet. That runt of a Steeger f. always dogging his heels whenever he is around. I've even swallowed my rcputed pride enough to go to his cabin. He ain't never in"
 Going to give up, Sue?"
 T ain't giving up, Mabe." She smpothed back her reddish cu.ls, taling the opportunity to glance g1ardedly about her without ap- bearing to do 50. T don't like that Strebor dame, for one reason. It would be pleasure to hand her over to Marshall Fang, ransom or no ransom"
 AsThere'd be 6 big ransom, though" Mcbe said tenscly. Fang or her father would pay plenty. There'd be enough in my split to let Pete and me leave the East for good before before 1t gets us so we never can leave the others I've seen"
 Sue looked at her queerly. She shrugged.
 "T don't see why Mundy won't go for the idea of getting Jean Strebor overheard in small boat. She ain't used him 50 hot, not from the first" Her voice became shriller. And that Gregory is another rat who gives me pain right ."
 elan Strebor appeared at one end of the lounge. She was accom- panied by Royce Gregory. A Chinese, with a rife almost as long as himself, stationed himself at guard nearby. Jean was noticeably tired. It mellowed her poised air of competence and gave 6 more fragile tone to her beauty.
 "Everything is going almost too we'll" Jean sighed as they sat down. Its going 50 well I'm afraid"
 We ought to be there pretty soon, hadn't wc?' Gregory inquired solicitously.
 His voice was well modulated. Yet 1t had q way, at times of seem ing harder than Mundys clipped Byllables.
 If nothing happens we should. We must. I've got to get this am- intuition to my father in time" Her eyes had distant stare. T only pray the river is deep enough to float this ship"
 "Mundy isn't going to pilot up- stream, is her?"
 I've just talked to him again" she said. He will"

CLASS WARNED
OF DESP0TS

Inaugurating a commencement
week, members of the graduating
class at Catholic University yeSter-
day attended a baccalaureate
mass at which they were warned
of dictatorship "clamped on
universities in countries where
despotism reigns."
The warning came in the
sermon, delivered by the Rev.
Patrick j. Healy, professor OF
church history at the institution,
during services held in the Ma
tional Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception. Father Healy de-
clared:
Conditions in Russia point to
what will inevitably be the lot
of all universities where govern
ment falls under the control Of
a political party or dictator.
"It seems incredible that
despOtism should go SO far as to
declare that the principles of a
political party rest ON absolute
truth, and that learning, in
order to be acceptable, must fit
into the program of political
system"
The mass was celebrated by the
Rt. Rev. Joseph M. Corrigan,
rector of the university. The Rev.
Lambert C. Gattman was deacon;
the Rev. Paul F.. Speckbough, sub
deacon, and the Rev. Edward
Rocker, master of ceremonies.
