He turned to me. How about you, Twner?"
nodded.
We took one of the small amphibians the
company uses for charter trips. Bill Bancroft
went with us instead of radioman. That gave
us three pilots. We carried few bags of mall
for they were an excuse to wear our revolvers -
loaded
Our trip over was uneventful Don had the
controls and pounded the key 1t seemed no
time at all before we were circling for landing
and taxing precariously through the clutter of
small boats toward the barge alongside the (
dock which we used for loading platform.
There was milling mass of people on all the
streets that approached our landing place, but
the ramp itself was clear. The arrangement
had been for Andrade to get Calliquez and his
party down to the float the same time we ar
rived. But. there was no sign of them
Il hope to heaven" prayed Don, that
Carlos doesn't muff it!'
I've never seen him so jittery.
We TAXED close so that our port wing-tip
pontoon was over the low barge which was
nearly awash. This placed the hull alongside
the ramp. Then, Don handed the wheel to Bill,
with the admonition, Keep the engines turn
ing over!'
He wasn't taking any chances on get away
with cold engines from that crowded bay.
We unloaded the mail sacks casually enough,
trying to act like it was regular run on any
normal day. We stalled for time but finally had
to turn the mail over to the postal truck which
had kept going during all the rumpus.
Don couldn't stand STILL He kept fidgeting
and searching the crowd with his eyes. Finally,
company car drew up to the edge of the gang
way which led down to the ramp. Carlos, him
self, was driving and he lost no time getting his
passengers out.
Conchita came down to the plane first, but
outside of her nose being little laughter than
usual and her dark eyes having stormy light
in them, there was nothing about her to suggest
a refugee. She gave Don a long glance as he
helped her up into the ship.
We almost got away with it. think we would
have, if it hadn't been for the suitcases Cali.-
quez followed his daughter and behind him
came youngish man, nephew, believe, who
was so scared he had pale green tinge. The
two men had leather bag in each hand which
they were dragging rather than carrying
= The thought occurred to me that it would
take lot of shirts and collars to be that heavy.
The bags didn't have the word Loot" painted
on them, but it was hardly necessary. The
crowd, which thus far had been silent during
the embarkation, set up low murmur, not
loud, but ominous. There was an element of
power in that sound - human power - which
made its force felt. Shivers went up and down
my spine. The onlookers realized that they
we're witnessing the final grab and it enraged
them. 1t reminded them of all Calliquez had
chiseled from them.
The hum became an uproar as the mob sent
up cry of "Malet0! MaLet0!'
The young insurrectos who were in charge
of seeing that Calliquez left the country, were
undecided. They were mostly students with

came back. Their faces were strained and white,
and-1 knew everything was still all wrong
"Will you take me home? I'm afraid I'm
tired" said Beth.
So there, after few polite farewells, ended
my pilots rescue mission. On the starlit high
way, going home, Beth said to me, Il ruined
your scheme, didn't l, Joe? You're an old dear,
but it isn't any CO."
After awhile, she began to cry softly. I'm
sorry. 1t isn't all just wounded pride It's what
know in my heart. Conchita will be bad for
him, and I'd be good. All on earth want is to
be Don's wife, but she wants a great deal
more.'
She said this with such quiet conviction that
it didn't sound conceited Id felt all along ex-
actly what she said. I'd shot my wad 1t was all
up to Don, now.
A few days later we landed Senorta CALI

didn't see much of him the next few days out
side of flying hours. Then, suddenly, the lid
blew off in Havana. For five hectic days and
nights we were engaged In the familiar pastime
of removing American tourists from the center
of a foreign rumpus.
At first, the excitement was enjoyable. But
on the fifth day they started firing on the Grand
National Hotel, and there was an ominous mob
patrolling the waterfront. We found the flying
boats surrounded by small craft, their crews in
specting our passengers with speculative eyes,
Taking off was no cinch, can tell you.
Don was anxious about Conchita. On the
second day he managed to get through to her
on the telephone. She didn't seem much per-
trbed about the revolution. She was quite up
set because her father had refused to sign the
contract Apparently, Bill Bancroft had been
right. Calliquez had not known about his daugh-
ter's career. Conchita stubbornly refused to
leave until he had signed for her. According to
Don, she was nonchalant about the volcano
rumbling beneath their feet, Anytime, now,"
she declared, my father will have the leaders
lined up against wall -"
But the next day it was impossible to raise
the Calliquez residence. Don was wild with
anxiety, and as for me- was sorry for Beth.
Excitement and worry and the whole blooming
business would decide for Don. 1t would be
Conchita, felt - that is, if she got out of the
city alive.
The situation became rapidly worse. On
Tuesday, Danny Mars picked up machine
gun bullet in his rudder. Practically all Ameri-
cans but the diplomatic crowd and few busi-
ness men were out of the city, so Oceanic sus-
pended its regular run pending developments.
All our outfit was out of Havana except the
agent, nice Cuban youngster by the name of
Carlos Andrade
We spent two restless days doing nothing,
until Friday morning when the Division Super
called Don and me into his Office.
"The provisional government is willing to
let Calliquez leave the country. We've just had
a radio from Andrade asking for charter job
with you to fly it. Getting the old man and his
family out is going to be ticklish. Do you want
the job, Meade?"
Small wonder whether Don wanted it or not!
