 Put down boat" Jim said to Curly. I'm going aboard her"
 Tt may be trap, Spike. You've led him to the Sonora's position, and we know somebody wanted badly to know where she went down.
 This is no trap. Hammond wouldn't work that way"
 Jim went to his cabin and changed into fresh linen and a white suit. When he came on deck again, the yacht was standing by quarter of a mile of. Curly had launched small boatt with one of the crew at the oars. Jim went over the side and stepped into the boat. He gave the yacht no look on the way, but sat in the prov with his back to the craft.
 Hammond hailed him as his boat came alongside, then shook his hand as he stepped aboard. The man said, Any luck, Mallory" No luck at all," Jim said. Neither good nor bad" Over Hammond's shoulder he saw Lois, darkly lovely, with ex- citement in her eyes. And beyond Lois he saw Mary Larsen. And that gave him jolt. Mary met his gaze steadily, with laughter in her eyes.

 IN STAMPS
Agriculture Is ChiIe's Most Important Industry

A GRICULTURE is Chile's larg- est industry. The country is practically self-supporting in re- spect to food, although large quantities of rice, sugar and beef are still imported.
 Production is primitive and not intensive. There are approxi- mately 95 million acres of arabic land, of which only 2,300,00c are sown.
 The government of Chile recog- nized its agricultural workers with the 1899 stamp above.
 The fruit industry has devel. oped, especially in the region around Valparaiso. Fresh, dried, canned and preserved fruits are exported. Peaches, pears, pluns, apricots and melons are grown. Apples, the most important crop in the south, strawberries, rasp- berries, loganberries and entrants flourish.
 Vegetables of all sorts, tobacco and cotton are cultivated. Chilean livestock is extensive. The cattle are killed for home consumption. and the hides exported.

CHAPTER TX

The Aurora rode out gale dur Ing the next three days. Jirr made his second descent to the eunken ship when the sea calmed ana found eilat task had become more eis1cult. The ship rested or . Sandbar, and the bar in shifting had thrown it hard over onto its starboard side. It meant that the salvage work could not be car ried out by merely widening the hatches. The manganese must now De brought out through the side.
 Curly came down with him the following day. They began cutting huge holes in the hull. They wore metal suits, with lines fastened to the Aurora's wincheS bya boom The crew above worked the winches when the divers wanted to be moved.
 It was slow work, cutting through steel plates with torches and they couldn't stay down long at a time. Finally curly suggested they use dynamite to hasten the work. They planted the charge late that afternoon. They phoned the crew to haul them to the sur- face then, and when they got out of their grotesque metal suits Jim set of the charge
 The water boiled as the blast went of, and the Aurora's hull gave Q shudder. Bits of wreckage fOated up.
 Curly observed, Nov all we need is a bottom to put the ore in" And as though in answer, one Of the crew shouted, Ship to starboardl"
 Jim saw a ship crawling like an insect across the horizon. He went to the chartroom and got binocu- lars. His face clouded as he ex- axnined the craft through the glasses.
 He said, "1t's that Cuban schooner, Curly. The one we met . couple of months ago, before we found the Sonora"
 And that means trouble, eh?' Curly asked.
 "Its probably my carefui-voiced friend" Jim kept watching the schooner. It was Diesel-engined, and 1t travelled fast. "It's keeping to it's course, and it'll pass us by miles,"
 "It7l be back tonight, Spike. It'll be back. I'd suggest that you radio Coast Guard headquarters and let them know our position just in case"
 NO, not that. Hammond wanted this kept secret. Wen keep a double watch tonight. Whatever the play, it won't catch us nap ping"
 He went to his cabin and took revolver from the desk. He knew that Curly also had gun, but the Aurora had no other arms. This wasn't a pleasant spot Jim's face was darkly intent as he considered what might happen. He grew a little sore, thinking that he was about to be hijacked when his hands were all but tied. He should contact the Coast Guard and tell them what was brewing. but Ham, mond had asked for secrecy. Ham,

even though Hammond naQnC aQ- mitted the cause of the sinking. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He grew suspicious of Hammond. The man might have pulled fast one on him. Hammond himself might have that schooner out, and Ham, mond might be back of the man with the careful voice and the care less money.
 Jim thought 8 lot about that during the night while he stood watch on the Aurora's bridge, but gradually Hammond,s actions seemed less suspicious. The key was the girl Mary Larsen.
 She wasn't working with Ham mond. Jim was sure she was in with the moneyed man. Jim's anger increased as he thought of Mary Larsen. She had tried to play him for a sucker; she was stringing along with that careful. talker; she had fallen for Eric Forbes. was probably in New York now as his secretary. She wasn't worth being sore about, Jim tried to tell himself, but the trouble was he was in love with her. Which" he said aloud, lis one big laugh on mel"
 The night passed without any visitors, and when the red sun came up over the horizon there was no sign of the schooner
 Curly went down to the Sonora at about eight o'clock. He reported over the phone that the dynamite charge had been efficient. They could easily salvage the manga nese. He was going into the hold.
 He was down an hour, then asked to be brought up. He was in a Tritian suit so the winch brought him up without the pauses required by rubber suit. The boom swung his huge, grotesque form onto the deck. Jim helped him out of the suit, and Curly's face wore strained tight expres- sion. He said nothing before the crew but jerked his head for Jim to follow hinD to the captains cabin.
 There, he said, Spike, that fore ward hold is empty"
 Enough had happened because of the Sonora that nothing more could be surprising. Jim Mallory's expression showed nothing.
 If the ore is there it's slim pickings. The Sonora is small tub, and even a full cargo of man. ganese wouldn't have made you rich. Are you going to cut into the aft?"
 "Ill tear the Sonora apart" Jim replied, "and if I don't get my money out of her I'll have & chat with MT Jeffery Hammond"
 You have written agreement with him?"
 "Yes. But if there's no salvage I can't collect a cent"
 Blacksheep opened the door and stuck his ebony head in. Spike suh, bot am comin'." Jim picked up the revolver at the Fdesk and went to deck. The craft was far of across the blue water, but he was sure 1t was not the schooner they had seen the night before. He went up to the chart room for glasses, then from the bridge studied the approaching boat Curly came up, asking. What do you make of it, Spike?"
 Its 8 yacht. Hammond's, l think. And hope so. want to talk with that man."

Macdonald Praises
Canada for War Aid
Sent Great Britain
Declares Dominion
Has Not Demanded
Cash for Supplies
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Malcolm Macdonald, British High
Commissioner to Canada, said yes
terday that Canada was devotins
more than 40 per cent Of her ma
tional income to active prosecution
OF the war and that about Is per
cent Of this amount was being used
to pay for supplies sent to Great
Britain.
At = press conference, which he
said was designed to clear up some
misconceptions" Of the Canadian
war effort prevalent in the United
States, the High Commissioner also
declared that:
l. One hundred thousand Cana
dian troops are now in Britain at
strategic points Of possible invasion.
Draft for Home Defense.
2. All young men between the
ages of 81 and "a are being con-
scripted for home defense for the
duration Of the war. After four
months Of intensive training they
are sent to military posts to relieve
regular army forces for overseas
duty.
3. Canada is getting all the men
she requires for overseas service
through voluntary recruiting. The
last call netted one and on. half
times the number requested.
4. Thousands of youthful pilots
Canadians, Australians, New Zea-
landers, Americans and British-are
in dozens of air training schools
throughout the Dominion. Twice as
many pilots, observers and air gun
ners are being sent overseas as was
contemplated q year ago.
Supplies Given Britain.
5. In addition to 200 900 men in
the home defense service, Canada
has 100000 on active duty with the
army, navy and air force. Based on
comparative populations, he said,
this latter figure was equivalent to
an armed force of 5000, 900 In the
United States.
6. French Canadian sentiment TO-
ward the war Is much better from
the standpoint of the British Com
monwealth than during the World
War.
II have seen 1t said in the United
States" he told reporters, that
Canada is asking Britain to pay
cash on the barrel head for war
supplies. This is not true. The
taxpayers of Canada will pay ST.
$50. .000. 900 during the current fiscal
year for supplies that are being
given and lent to Britain. The idea
that Canada is asking cash il q
myth"
