Harlan coughed a few times and
opened his eyes.
There was a bad bump where
his forehead had struck the in

as soon as he was able to breathe
a bit easier. THAT sure was a
close call! If you hadn't been

to salvage part of the emergency

from under them with a swirl that
left their rubber boat spinning on

squared away on his course. Pete
glanced at the air-speed indicator
in his cockpit and noticed that
they were flying nearly 20 knots
faster than the normal cruising
speed of the plane.
The engine roared monotonously
until Pete became drowSy. He
settled back into his cockpit and
soon dropped off to sleep.
ENGINE TROUBLE, NOW
For while Pete slept soundly,
then he stirred uneasily and
finally opened his eyes. The en-

smoothly, and Lieutenant Harlan
had throttled down considerably
from his former cruising speed. 1t
was this change in the sound of

more roughly, shaking the entire

that a curtain of haze cut down

blackness turned gray in the east
and they floated again in a sea
of white mist.
AS the morning wore on, the
fog gradually disSipated and the
sun began to show through occa-

Their spirits rose as the weather
improved. eff this keeps up," said
Harlan, they'll be able to get

But the day dragged on, and still
no planes appeared. Once or twice
they saw the smoke Of a steamer,

they were helpless without the

AS the sun sank towards the
west their hopes ebbed, when off
in the distance they heard the
faint but unmistakable hum of an
airplane engine.

But they may not pass within
10 miles of us. If we only had
some way to signal them, we might
have a chance"
THE WIFE'S PRESENT
"I think I've got something that
may turn the trick, Sir!" said Pete,
reaching into the pocket of his

bringing out his package.
"Qluck, what is 1t? They're

held their breath, waiting to see

"They see us!" cried Pete.

Leveling out a few feet above the
surface, Harlan stalled the plane
into a three-point attitude, cut the
switch, and squashed into the

Pete's head struck the edge Of
the cockpit with a jolt that dazeo
him for a second, but he shook
his head to clear it and looked
up to see the plane floating nose
down, with the water up over the

Tearing off his safety belt, Pete
