They would continue in this

CRUISING SUBCHASER
A cruising subchaser, a swift
gray boat which once had been the
yacht of Il metals millionaire, came
straight toward the swordSman
and his new bride.
For a little time. until the V
of the bow was almost upon them,
they paid no attention. .\
But then, gracefully and at the
same moment, they both dived at
a diverging angle.
The boat passed, with the depth

And then as soon as the tur-
bulence of the screws had dubbed

swordfish curved upward, con-
verged in beautiful arcs, and
resumed their positions side by

STAYS A DOZEN

Then when y or Is of the big
food fish lay with white bellies
up. fins still feebly moving on
their mutilated carcasseS. the
swordsman gave over his business
of destruction.
He nosed around. pushed the
fat. succulent bodies into a small
circle. and there Toasted upon the
shambles he had created.
Right below this gargantuan
feast, lurking for some purpose
of its own between two coral
grown boulders, lay 16-foot gray
nurse shark.
Ravenous though he probably
was. this man-killer of the salt
depths made no move to acquire
the tidbits of bonito.
He saw the shadow of the sword
fish above him like the wings of
AZrael, and he stayed right there
on the bottom, immobile.
DESERTS SCENE
Full fed but never lazy-save
when mating-the great killer left
the scene of slaughter after an
hour and headed out for bluer
water where waves, unbroken all
the way from Dakar, carried
white horses upon their backs.
Once out there a few miles, the
surface-cutting fin turned north

In season the swordfish comes
as far up as Cape Cod. and even
sometimes 10 the Grand Banks.

for this sort of work. Anyhow
both survived.
Then our Swordsman, backing,
ducking, lunging upward, was
lucky or Skillful enough to catch
the interloper missing a horizontal
thrust.
Zip! The great sword angled up
and through the whitish belly
Blood spurted.
Ten inches of the rapier point
of the weapon came out into the

before il was withdrawn by-a

FIRST STAB ENOUGH
That first stab would have told
the tale. had the swordsman just
gone away and waited.
But such was not his nature.
While the rival tried 10 gather
his forces for dying attack, the
swordsman ran him through time
and time again, until no move
ment at all was left in the late
conner; no life at all.
Slowly he started TO sink. turn

The two erect backfins sailed
on again, unconcerned, up the
coast line, side by side.

BREAK FOR SURFACE

Senselessly the bonito broke
again for the surface, instead of
hiding among the streamers where
al least many of them might have
been overlooked by the killer.
Swish! went the sickle tail of
the swordfish, and he pursued
them toward the sun.
For a second his knifeblade of
a back-fin sizzled through the
surface.
Then the hungry killer sub
merged three feet, and drew a
straight line at the budding,
foolish bonito 60 yards distant.

he was up again and among them,

But for most OF the year he pre-
fers the warmer oceans.
In short order real trouble ap-
peared.
Ordinarily the swordsman found
less than he really enjoyed, but
this was another matter.
FISHING BOATS
There were fishing boats out
the men keeping almost as close
watch over shadows which might
be U-boats, as over the Suffering
areas of water where food fish
played.
And tangled in one of the nets
unwanted, but there just the same
was baby grampus.
Ma grampus, having missed her
sucking baby for a full hour, was
on the rampage.
The grampus is a killer and
cannibal of purest ray serene,
even when untroubled by maternal
instincts.
CHEWS UP SEA
With her lone hopeful missing
and undoubtedly dead, this out
ragged female was chewing up the
ocean and splitting out slime in her
fearful desire for vengeance upon
some one or something.
She spotted the swordfish, coolly
cutting along and unaware of the.
crime he undoubtedly would have
committed if given a chance.
But when ma grampus saw him,
she wasted no time.
She went after him with blood
and murder in her heart. And the
swordsman, not at all unwilling,
met her rush with a dodge and
thrust.
DUEL SUPREME
The two vanished there on the
surface, in a rolling spume of
watery spouts. No doubt il was a
duel supreme-but details were
lost TO any possible spectator.
Travelling over the water almost
as fast as either could swim. the
blinded combatants threShed past
