Chapter Is
Dark Of The Moon

THE dark figure broke away
4 from the hedge, slowly, eau.
tiously, and crept on all tours fol
the trees. With a bound, Michael
reached it and threw himself upon
1t, hardly knowing what he ex.
pected to find beneath his hands as
he peered down in the darkness.
Eyer chokin' me-" he heard, and
gasped in surprise.
"Higgins!"
ITS me-" the little man said sui.
1enly, clambering to his feet as Mi
chael released him.
What the devil were you doing,
sneaking around in the dark?"
Il wasn't doin' nothink."
"Oh, you weren't? Well, it's a
damn poor place to do it in. What
are you up to?"
I'm not up to nothink." Higgins
was truculent.
Michael was suddenly angry. He
reached out, took Higgins collar
and shook him as if he had been the
rabbit Bunny had called him. "You
tell me what you were doing
sneaking around my yard in the
middle of the night, or I'll shake
the daylights out of you." he said
wrathfully.
But Higgins, mentally at least,
was firm. 81 said / wasn't dom
nothink and I wasn't"
Michael dragged him over to the
place beside the hedge from which
he had crawled. Still holding Hig-
gins collar he bent over and ran
his hand over the ground. There
was nothing. Higgins held one arm
slightly behind himself. Michael
noticed it, grabbed it, and took a
trowel from resisting fingers.
For the love of Pete" he said in
evaporation. "a trowell What are
you doing, transplanting in the
dark of the moon?"
Higgins maintained a suller ST.

Michael thought carefully. He
looked over the hedge. Just there,

WHAT cRIpEs the Key West.

WHAT GRTPES the Key West
er is that Key West is left with
only one sailing a week when it
was just building itself up as
one of the big jumping off points
for Cuba along with Miami. Its
new Overseas Highway was be-
ing touted as an extra attraction
to GO to Cuba via the Keys.
Many think that the P. & o.
should at least have furnished
some sort of better service, even
with a smaller boat, between this
city and Havana. y 80 "

along. Well take this one, and then

Higgins growled.
"Of course not. You couldn't
reach the stones if you did. You'll
bend over nicely and pick them up
one by one. Ready?"
Higgins was not ready.
Michael Strengthened up and
spoke softly. you get to work and

ONE OTHER QUESTION has

been raised. Are freight rates
cheaper via boat and truckline
than by boat direct to seaports?
The answer is that many inland
points must be serviced. Gili's
plan is to load those big truck
trailers you see in the middle
west on the ferry boats, have
motor hitchups at the Cuban and
Key West ends to bring them to
the boats and throughout the
country. Think what the new
low prices will mean. There are
seatrains to New Orleans and
New York now bringing bananas
and other fruit from Cuba but
the boats must be unloaded, car
goes transferred to truck and
freight cars, all of which is ex-
tremely expensive both from
handling costs and running of
part of the cargo. AS well as
speed of delivery. Another item
to be considered is handling of
private cars to Cuba.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-12-18

NOW AS TO the feasibility of
the line. Did you know that
100000 passengers make the Mi
ami Havana and Key West-Ha-
vana trips each year. Freight
transportation is also high. Gill
says if he. gets but 20%o of this
travel he and the company will
be more than satisfied. I'm
doubtedly with the lower pas
senger and freight rates he will
get more than his share.

Famous Tug
Comes North

A famous old steam tug, the In
trepid, which for many years was in
the pineapple trade in the Ha-
waiian Islands, will leave Seattle
within a few days for Petersburg,
Alaska, under charter to the Puget
Sound Bridge and Dredging Com
pany from Delta Smythe. tugboat
operate of Olympia, says a recent
issue of the Seattle Times
The Intrepid will proceed to Pet
ersburg, to tow the Puget Sound
Bridge and Dredging Company's big
dredge, now at Petersburg, and other
dredging equipment across the Gulf
of Alaska to Valdez, where the COM
pany has $4,000 contract to dredge
the harbor for the United States
Engineer Corps.
The tug yesterday was at the
Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging
Company's dock at Harbor Island,
being put in commission for the
voyage. The crews headquarters
were being enlarged.
Built in Ballard in 1900. the In
trepid has been virtually rebuilt sey-
eral times. She first was named the
Charles Counselman, and bore that
name for many years running out OF
San Francisco and towing barges
of pineapple in the islands. She was
purchased by Smythe in Olympia
two years ago from Gilkey Brothers,
of Anacortes, when that concern
was consolidated with the Puget
Sound Tug and Barge Company.
The Intrepid is steam tug of
1913 gross tons and is ninety feet
long.
Much of the dredging equipment
the tug will tow to Valdez is at Cor
dova, where the Puget Sound Bridge
and Dredging Company last year
had $25O,00O contract to dredge
the harbor, and build breakwaters
and small boat haven. After tow
ing the dredge from Petersburg, the
Intrepid will return to Cordoya and
convey the other equipment to Val
DEE.

Stranded Boat Party
Returned This Morning

Tom Brennan, owner of the
Cruiser V18653, Bill Swope, Nor
ris Gammons and several friends,
had the unpleasant experience
of being stranded for about IL
hours yesterday on Pelican
Shoal, awaiting succor from Key
West.
They went on the shoal about
2 o'clock in the afternoon and
remained stranded until at an
early Hour this morning when
rescue parties arrived on the
Coast Guard Cutter 1875, Captain
August Bradley, and Bar Pilot
vessel under command of Pilot
Clarence Thompson.
On the 1875 besides the captain
and crew were John Carbonell,
Jr., and Raymond Delgado, and
on the Bar Pilot were Pubic
Carbonell, Bonnie Sawyer, Myron
Russell, Theodore Albury and
the captain.
Mr.. Swope said word of their
trouble had been given a small
boat which was passing the shoal
and could readily see the pre-
dicament of those on board the
V18653, and no time was lost
when the word was brought to
Key West.
The returning salvagors and
the wrecked cruiser arrived in
port this morning some time
after 3 o'clock. The cruiser is
practically filled with water and
is lying at the ways near the foot
of Simonton street.
Damage to the hull, said Mr..
SMope, was caused by the YES
sci pounding on the shoal when
a stiff breeze began blowing late
in the evening.

COMES HERE IN INTEREST
OF REPORTED MISSING
OF HIS BROTHER

Arriving in Key West today
was J. Strickland, brother of j,
Rubin Strickland, who was re-
ported to the office of the sheriff
yesterday as being missing from
the Florida Keys. Arriving with
Mr.. Strickland was a friend, Ron

w. A. Parrish.
Mr.. Parrish seemed to be con-
WINGED that there was some error
made in the burial of the decom-
posed body whcih was found on
Molasses Key last week and was
buried as that of Henderson But
Ter, colored, who had been miss
ing for several weeks.
He said he had investigated
and found that the boat found
near the body of Butler contained
articles which had been identi-
fled as the property of Strick-
land, and other things had been
discovered which led him to con-
lecture that there may have been
a mistake made.
The group was visiting with
County Judge Raymond Lord this
noon and endeavoring to arrive
at some definite conclusion re-
garding the missing man.

county roadway, from road "A
