He had a reply ready but it died on his

in the lee of the island he caught sight of the

The man looked astonished, but he saluted
and hurried off. Besserley turned his glass on
the small island they we're approaching and
gave a grunt of satisfaction. On one of the
scattered rocks upon the beach woman was
standing watching their approach.
How near can you get to that rock??" he
asked pointing it out to the pilot.
Right up to her, Sir"
Gould we take the lady on without land

The pilot looked at him suspiciously
''If she is willing to come," he replied.
Take her in as near as you can, then.

either temperature. This is an i'm
portant factor when the tempera-
ture of the coolant, such as city
water or cooling tower water, may
vary or cannot be obtained at less
than 80 to 80 degrees. In the case
of expensive water its use can be
conserved by operating in the high

than in the lower. The result is
essentially the same amount of de-
humidification.
Capable of treating 1900 cubic

tached to the top of the machine
at the left end, is drawn through
the water cooling compartment and
enters the chambers containing the
calcium chloride compound, where
the excess moisture is removed.
From here it is circulated through
