CLIPPER HERE AFTER NORMAL
 FLIGHT NORTH
Survey Trips to Continue Until Adequate Equip
 ment Is Available

Completing the sixth trial flight with the Alaska Clipper over the Pan American Airways Seattle to Juneau route, the ten-ton amphi- bian was landed yesterday evening at the Mendenhall Airport after six hours and fifteen minutes of flight
 The trip was marked by favor able weather and an uneventful flight, the trip being made to Ket- chikan in 4la hours, and then after a 20-minute stop, a flight of one hour and 45 minutes to Juneau.
 The plane brought in air express for Juneau, for Fairbanks and for Nome. The Nome and Fairbanks express will go out on today's Electra leaving for Fairbanks.
 The Clipper will return to Seattle Monday morning.
 Capt. James Mattis, First Officer Capt. Jerry Jones, Navigating Off, ficer H. H. Gordon, Engineering Officer J. D. Donnelly and Radio Engineer J. c. Smyser made the trip
 If weather permits, a survey flight over the Juneau district will be made today to further acquaint the planes crew with the flight area and perhaps reveal possible emergency landing areas where shelter could be found in water landings.
 When Mail?
 In answer to the frequent ques- ton, How long before airmail, and how many trial flights?," it was learned today that the trial flights will not be made in any designated number before mail or passengers are carried, but only until adequate equipment is found available
 The present Alaska Clipper, a two-engined plane, has a small payload and it is inferred that such a plane would not be profit able to operate for mail and pas sengers.
 Bigger Ship
 Belief among pilots is that the present ship will continue in trial flight service until the new 72- passenger Boeings are completed for the Pacific and Atlantic runs, releasing larger ships than the Alaska Clipper for service on the Seattle to Juneau route.
 During the interim, pilots and crew to be employed on this run will become thoroughly acquainted with the route with reference to its physical geography. landin g areas, weather conditions and nayi- gation aids. In addition, Alaskan pilots and creWmen, who have here tcfore not fallen under certain re- quirements of pilots in the States, will pass the required tests.
 sBoiled down. the supposition is that mail and passenger flights will begin about the first of the year from Seattle to Juneau with a strong chance that landing facil- ities along the route, specifically at Ketchikan and Juneau. will be improved to take care of the large four -motored flying boats with pas senger and mail payloads that will make the run economically sound.

"Why, of course" Sinclair gripped
the old priests hand. 'I'm grateful to
you, Father Michel. I'll think over
what you've said. Goodnight"
There was the dip of oars, and
Father Michel drew away into the
darkness. Sinclair went up to Captain
Velsar's stateroom. That was Father
Michel, the priest I was telling you
about. He came to pass me a quiet
hint. He thinks there's going to be
trouble tonight"
"Vot kind of trouble. Mr.. Paul?"
Lord knows. But I reckon he
hasn't warned us for a joke. He ad-
vises US to move out safe distance
from the island, and Ill take his tip"
Sinclair went down to his own quar-
tiers. where he found Madeleine Nelson
studying a book. He saw it was open
at list of lights and buoys on the
French coast, and with smile he
dropped into a swivel chair.
Thinking of going on a little
voyage, Miss Nelson? As matter of
fact, that's what is happening -"
The girl was startled. "We're going

Sinclair leaned forward and gripped
her wrist. He could feel his heart beat

take her in his arms and crush her to

Sinclair nodded. He wondered if this
was meant as quiet hint to himself,
and Father Michel began to speak of
other things. He turned out to be a
companionable old fellow Finally Sim
clair finished his wine and got up.
Thank you, Father Michel; we've
had a good talk - we must meet
again. There's someone coming up to
see you." he added.
1T is only a woman from the cot
tages. She is coming to prepare my
meal. Will you not join me. Msienr?"
Thanks. Id better not today ="
1T is not often l have the honor of
entertaining guest" pleaded Father
Michel. "and l would like to hear more
about your New York - the great
buildings like towers in the sky -.
In the end, Sinclair tossed down his
cap and accepted another glass of
wine: sweet white wine from the
Dordogne Valley. Perhaps after lunch.
he thought, one might be able to in
duce the old priest to talk little more
freely about Monsieur Jerome; and
after lunch they returned to the bench
in the sunlight. There had been some
thing almost wistful in Father Michels
anxiety about the needs of his guest.
and Sinclair could feel he had been
accepted as friend.
Il think you can help me. Father
Michel" he said as he filled his pipe.
The caretaker at the chateau told me
something rather interesting yester-
day evening. 1t all happened before
your time. l gather that the Nor
wegian salvage people actually located
the wreck. although no record OF its
position ever reached London"
Father Michel expressed polite in
terest, and Sinclair went on to explain
that some papers belonging to the
dead Norwegian Captain were still
lying in the chateau.

you. these papers?" repeated Michel.

"Afraid l am. And wish knew the

Father Michel gave a shrug What
can l say? 1t is true, he does not like

affairs do not concern me- 1t is better
to remain on good terms with him."
''Yes, follow that" Sinclair saw it
would be indiscreet to press the point.
but you can help me without doing
an unfriendly act to Monsieur Jerome.
These salvage papers in the attic at
the chateau don't belong to him. They
should have been sent to Lloyds in
London. wonder if you would have a
few quiet words with the caretaker."
"Oh, yes, l could talk to Antoine -

him this afternoon. He could bring the
papers here to my cottage" Father
Michel nodded. "Since they are not
the property of Monsieur Jerome,
there is no harm in that"
You'll be doing me a big favor"
Sinclair took the old priests hand
gratefully as he said goodby. "I'll be
ashore in the morning; if you've got
the papers I'll look through them"
Back on board, Sinclair drew Cap

about Father Michel's promise. "Our
friend Jerome has gone across to the
mainland today. SO it's all clear up at
the chateau"
Velsar's eyes danced with excite
ment. This Father Michel will get the
papers for you, good very good"
Sinclair bit hard on the stem of his
pipe. 1t was more than good: it might
make all the difference between sue
cess and failure. He thanked Heaven
he had run across Father Michel: he
had the feeling that next morning the
old priest might be inclined to open
out a little further, and he might be
able to CLEAN something that would

throw light upon that mysterious at
tack in his cabin. Sinclair was glad
now he had not alarmed the Dutch
man by telling him about this. He
would fight it out alone. at any rate
until he knew the truth about
Madeleine Nelson. And he must find
some excuse for setting double watch
tonight, for the unknown enemy's
next step might be attempted sabot-
age among the salvage gear. His
thoughts were interrupted by the
splash of oars near the accommodation
ladder, and he hurried down with an
electric torch in his hand.
''Is that you, Monsieur Sinclair?"
The beam of the fashlamp illumined
the anxious face of Father Michel.
'ls anything wrong" asked Sinclair.
Il have something to tell you.

ing heavily with exertion. He ex-
planned that he had pulled out in the
small rowboat which he used for fish
