"No | remember quite we'll.
I'm sure you won't mind getting
wet again. You swim so beauti-
fully" He made an outward ges-
ture with the revolver. "You go
first. I'll be following"
There was nothing else to do.
Kay poised at the rail, cut the
water in deep dive. As she
reached the surface she fully ex-
pected the swift pain of bullet.
But the man was letting himself
into the water feet first. holding
the revolver carefully above his
head.
Kay struck out easily, her heart
pounding much faster than her
arms and legs. She knew that she
could far outdistance her enemy.
Over her shoulder she saw he was
surprisingly powerful in the
water, hampered though he was
by clothes and his regard for the
weapon. Gradually, with the craft
mess of desperation, she began to
increase her speed. Soon she was
far ahead, knew that in a moment
she would be able to touch bottom
with her sneakers.
Even when she reached the
shelf of shore she kept low in the
water. Then, more certain of her
footing, she appraised swiftly and
splashed up the beach as fast as
her legs would carry her. In her
anxiety to reach the wood she
scarcely heard his angry yell.
Just as Kay reached the cover
of trees and brush she heard
shot. Then another. The second
brought sickening whine quite
close-but she was not hit. Madly
she ran, needless of the briars,
unmindful of the sharp boughs
which cut into her arms and
clutched at her face. Not until
she was forced to slow down from
sheer exhaustion did she look
around.
There was no sound and no mo-
ton from the stretch of wood be-
hind her. Heartened, Kay ran on,
anxious to put as much distance
as humanity possible between her
self and her curious enemy. When
she was certain she had momen-
tarily eluded him, she slowed to
steady walk. It was only then
that she realized how blindly
she'd fought through the thick
tangle. A cheek was bleeding;
her arms and hands were a pat
tern of deep cuts and bruises.
Her denim Stacks had protected
her legs somewhat, but her light
sneakers were shreds of cloth and
rubber.
She encountered the other
shoreline, almost completely eX-
hausted. There she began search
ING for sight of the damaged
dinghy, hoping Melita and Priscil-
Ia would be somewhere near 1t.
She could not be sure in which
direction it law, and she knew
she must find it before she was
recaptured. A mile-long weary
trek in one direction proved
fruitless and Kay decided that
the dinghy and the fateful cabin
must be behind her. YEARLY re-
doubling on her trail, she kept up
her search.
But night was fast descending
now, and Kay faced the double
horror of a strange darkness and
the temperance of the islands
menacing inhabitant.
ITO be continued)
