Chapter l


 The boat lay with list to star board at 10 fathoms. Jim Mall lory walked cumbersomely around it, careful not to foul his lines in the casts, and peered through the glass of his diving helmet at the hole in the bow. It didn't look like much of a job to raise. It looked like a little easy money for the Ajax Salvage Company.
 Frsm above, Curly Bates voice came over the telephone in an incoherent mutter. Jim Mallory re- piled, Yeah, found her"
 Curly's voice, distinct now, said Shut up, you!"
 Men didn't talk like that to Jim Mallory; certainly not one of his chew. Astonished, he demanded What?" And Curly's voice was instantly apologetic.
 Not you, Spike. I was talking to-"
 Jim Mallory had a quick hunch, 8 gripping suspicion. Listen" he said, ''haul me up." He was a man who always played lunches.
 He heard Curly shout an order; he felt his lines pull taut, and slowly he began to rise through water that was green and crys- talling. He saw the tugs black bottom, the reached the Jacobs ladder. He climbed into the bright Florida sunlight.
 Blacksheep unbolted and re- moved the iron helmet. Blacksheep was grinning, his teeth shining ivory in the ebony of his face.
 Boss, we done got comp'ny. sure 'noughl"
 "So I feared" Jim Mallory said, and came aboard. His eyes ran along deck to where the girl sat amidship, and halted there on her for a moment, narrowing. He was surprised that it was girl. He hadn't expected them to put girl onto him. But it was clever. Where bribes and threats won't work, use a woman.
 Curly Bates came and put cig- aret between Jim Mallory's lips and held 6 match. Curly was stopped little man of 55, much battered by life. He was very bald. His eyes were worried.
 They've put a dame onto you, Spike"
 "Yeah."
 T don't like it little bit. She's smooth as silk"
 ''I'll watch my step," Jim Mall lory said.
 He came out of the diving suit, and he was big and brown and solid. He moved with smooth ease. Beneath tight sweater his shoul- hers and chest rippled with corded muscles. He ignored the girl.
 She's down there" he said to Curly. "Well get some grapnels on her tomorrow, and some pontoons. She'll come up like a cork"
 Shall I drop buoy over be- lore we ship anchor?"
 You may as well"
 The girl rose from the bulwark, srawing Jim Mallory's eyes. She was in green swim suit, and her skin was smooth brown. Her rub Der cap was in her hand and, Jim Mallory thought, that was the place for it. You wanted to see her hair. It was thick and tousled, and the sunlight ade it look like bright copper. Her eyes were wide md brown, with golden flecks With her face and figure, Jim de- cided, you had the right sort to bait a man.
 He spoke with the cigaret be- tween his lips, saying, Hello, hello," in a cautious, offhand fash lon.
 Hello" The girls voice was nicely husky. Who is she?"
 "A sport cruiser named Hannah that some landlubber let founder"
 Quite a beauty, I suppose. With

To be Italians is not to be free and
the people know it. But though
they recognize the fact with a grim
and mirthless jest, which no one
of them would dare to utter in broad
daylight. they are not prepared to
do anything about it. There are
several reasons, / think, why the
arrival of the Germans Is accepted
with as much resignation as the
eruption of Vesuvius or any other
natural disaster over and beyond
the control of mortal man, several
reasons why the Italian is ready
for separate peace but not for revo-
luton.
The first reason is the fact that
most Italians are overaWed by the
military might of modern Germany
and fairly confident that Hitler will
win the war, even if America comes
In before the invasion of Britain
The rule that nothing succeeds like
success operates in Italy as nowhere
else in the world and the Italians
are tremendously impressed with
Hitler's successive victories. In ad-
dition, even those who doubt Ger
man victory feel with typical Ital-
ian cynicism that nothing ought to
be done unless and until Germany
shows signs of cracking.
