CHAPTER TX

The Pacific wasn't SO gentle the
next day Is they headed northward.
| There was a more pronounced roll
under the Northern Belle" and
every once in awhile she dipped
deep into a heavy sea that sent
spray kissing over her forward deck.
Val picked her way along the
after deck and tied a knot in a rope
holding together some life presery-
ers. It had slipped a little.
When she looked up Eddie Cava-
lier was watching her. He reached
down, tugged at the rope expert
mentally and grunted with satisfac-
ton.
Since when are you checking up
on me?" she flared.
"All in the interests Of public vel
fare" he murmured. "Someone's life
may depend on just such a little
thing as a knot. Anyway, I was a
Boy Scout once and I know all about
knots"
"Y'know," she said slowly. 1--WE
often wondered why you ever became
a fighter"
He gave her a long look. "Why?'
ooh 80. never mind. Just a sud
den thought" Then more brusquely,
by the way, what's on the pro-
gram for today?"
"A little rope-skipping go. little
jogging little shadow boxing.
Pop says nothing heavy"
Zine story that'll make for me-"
she commented.
He showed her q can Of metal
polish he had in his hand. First
I'm going to work out on some of
these deck-fittings. You might get
something out Of that"
For almost an hour she watched
him polish brass until the metal
