Ringer tapped out the query and
waited. There we're none. The Empress
was far to the south. "Sure of that
message?" Ringer could feel the regard
of those sailors eyes again.
I'm sure" he said.
Right. I'm backing you" Manley's
tone was crisp. Tell all stations the
IS Arcon is proceeding north"
Ringers throat frightened a little
and somehow he did not feel so alone
in his responsibility now. His Captain
was backing him! He had faith in
him. regardless of what the Others
thought! He sent out the message and
a few minutes later he could feel the
changed movement of the ship. The
gale was behind them now and they
pitched heavily fore and aft as the
bows swung round and surged through
the night into the north.
Good luck. Arcon," came from the
Empress.
"Arcon proceeding north" was
flashed among the ships.
All through the night the Arcon
ploughed her way northwards. Before
darkness faded and the range of the
ether was cut down by more than half
there came fash from the Empress.

Dawn came and Ringer lost touch
with the Empress. The liner was
speeding on towards Europe and had
passed beyond his range.
He called time after time:
'Leafane Leaflane. can you hear

his face with an oily rag. Juice all

Answer TO Problem

Jimmy Travelled the thirty miles out
into the country in exactly an hour.
Returning at speed of ten miles an
hour, he traversed the same distance
in three hours. This means that Jimmy
spent four hours doing a total of sixty
miles. His average speed for the round
trip would thus be fifteen miles an
hour.
And you will get the same result no
matter what distance Jimmy travelled.

the enamel levels itself out. I do, how
ever, keep at hand a rag moistened in
turpentine; in case drop falls upon
the hardware or spatters on the wall,
can wipe it off before it hardens.
Having completed the edges of the
door l start upon the two faces. and
these should be painted or enameled
section by section. That is. each of
the panels should be done in one con-
tinuous operation. and the raised por-
tions surrounding the panels - called
stiles and rails - should also be
painted continuously.
The same principle is applied to the
woodwork on each side of the door
opening, called the side and head
castings. So I start at the upper left
hand corner and paint across the head
of the doorway. starting and stopping
at the joints in the woodwork, then I
go down the sides to the floor. one side
at time.
In all of this work I am careful to
have my brush carry enough enamel
to cover the old surface completely.
If there is any tendency to run" I
realize that am putting on too much
and that it must be brushed out more
thinly. But am very careful not to 60

dried. since this may make it rough.

surface is not completely covered by
the new work. l wait until the follow

all types of painting or enameling the
surface must be thoroughly dry when
the first coat is applied.
Having purchased the enamel and

VEN a comparatively new house
needs periodic attention to keep
IL it at its best, and my wife and
take pleasure in doing most of these
things ourselves. My teaching is con-
cerned with the practical side of build
ing construction, and my hobby is
to do as much of our upkeep and
alteration work as possible with my
own hands. Besides, this gives me an
excellent opportunity to try out many
of the splendid new materials.
There is the interior woodwork.
mostly cream-colored enamel, kitchen
cupboards. window sash, and the walls
and ceiling of our rather small kitchen.
all of which needs attention every few
years. Then my wife and often
decide that we want to change the
color of something to give a new
atmosphere. BY doing the work our
selves, the expense is almost negligible.
Furthermore, it is actually fun: the
units are so small that each part is
finished before it becomes tiresome.
Many things such as the woodwork
in the children's room and the kitchen
shelves we repaint regularly every
year. This season we expect to start on
the kitchen, giving new coat of a
slightly different shade to the enam-
eled woodwork. I begin by thoroughly
cleaning the old enameled surfaces to
remove the scum which results from
cooking. This can be done with a
fiber scrubbing brush and old rags,
using moderately hot water containing
any ordinary washing powder. The
final step, before starting the actual

grinned awkwardly. Were driving

But I'll see that the old dynamo turns

Thanks. Chief" Ringer smiled.
They must be sweating down below.
All that day they labored onwards.
Ringer kept to his post, not daring
even to remove the headphones in
case he should miss some faint signal.
But none came. There was only
silence silence.
Towards evening there came call
from the Samarang. British cargo
ship.
"Any news, Arcon?"
'None."
'Sure distress signal. old mani"
Sure"
Some minutes later, radio:
Master, SIS Arcon Position

only ship proceeding north. If sure dis
tress, offer assistance"
The second mate brought the reply
and Ringers haggard face frightened
into a wan smile as he tapped it out.
Master, SIS Samarang My
oDerator heard it. Please yourself.
Master. Arcon."
Half-an-hour later Manley came in.
red-eyed and tired from his ceaseless
vigil on the bridge.
Steward bringing your grub all

''Yes, sir"
"Whisky?''
Thank you, sir"
I'll send some up." He went out
and Ringer looking after him saw how
he limped. Those legs of his must be
giving him hell.
The whisky put much-needed glow
into him, for his eyes were heavy and
it was all he could do to keep awake.
The headphones pressed heavily ON
his ears and his head throbbed and
ached with the strain of the long hours
of listening. The mate looked in on his
way to the bridge. His body was
twisted awkwardly under the black
oilskins and he groaned involuntarily
as lurch of the ship threw him
against the door. ANY news?"

Still no reply. He became conscious
that Captain Manley was standing at
his elbow. He scribbled the message on

Manley went out and came back.

Ringer flashed again: "All stations

The Empress thundered forth. but
again there was no response to the
query.

must be within three to four hundred
miles. She used battery set, I'm sure.
Normal range of battery set is about

He became conscious that the Cap
tain was regarding him curiously. He
knew what he was thinking. Only he
had received the message. A mistake?
Its the longitude we want!
An hour passed; still no news. The
Empress called: ''Sure you got signals
right?"
Sure"
Not much chance without lon
gitude"
Sometime later from the Empress:

He handed the message to the Cap
tain, and the latter went out. Alone in
the cabin, doubt tugged at his heart.
Was he creating this disturbance be-
cause of foolish ''hunch"? Yet it was
more than "hunch" now. There were
definite signals. He'd heard them.
But had he? Had he only imagined
them?
