and mountains seemed in massed attack on
the Smith. Nonsense! There was nothing to

the twin motors drove the Jedediah Smith

The cruiser waved like a skidding auto

leaped from one to another of her passengers.
Had any of them correctly interpreted that
sudden swerve? Had they noticed the les
sened roar of the exhausts as the port motor
quit without warning. The floor tilted as Pete
dove the ship sharply in an effort to restart
the dead motor. Kay failed to hear the sput-
tering roar announcing the pickup. That engine
was out, cold, and Pete wouldn't repeat his
dive. He'd save what altitude he had and

She dropped her fingers in the swiftest of

behind her. Farson and Dr. Gillen looked up
anxiously.

Ill help you with Mrs. Farson, Doctor. She'll
feel any jar in landing much less in the rear

They would, she told herself grimly. The
air-speed meter dropped to fifty. then to forty
miles an hour. She'd never ridden 50 slowly
in C-BAr ship. Pete Coane liked to land hot
but he was sure mushing her in this time. That
fellow began where most pilots left off, Through
the window she saw vague something flash
past the trailing edge of the wing. She braced
her feet as the one propeller whined and the
Smiths silver nose lifted sluggishly. Then a
gnarled juniper tripped wing and the liner
slowed crafty, struck, bounced, struck again,
and rolled over and over with deafening crash

Kay's belt broke and she was tossed the

"I1l help just tell me what to do. Wait a

She inspected the wreckage closely. Beneath
the broken wings the ground was black with
