CHAPTER III

Lying full length on deck chair,
Karen drank pre-lunch Martini,
and watched the stunning blue and
white of the sea stream past the
low foredeck Of Richard Wayne's
schooner. Here, out upon the slowly
breathing Pacific, John Colt HIM
self seemed as far away as San
Francisco had seemed from the la
mai of the Royal Hawaiian.
At first, steering away from Bar
ber's Point, Karen had experienced
sharp sinking of spirits.
But during the morning hours on
the sea a new vitality had come
into her, as if from the long swens
Of the open sea itself; and after
lunch she sought a way to push
ahead with her self-elected task Of
studying Tonga Dick. The Holokai
was a two-masted schooner of ITO
feet; Dick Wayne called her trad
ing schooner, with auxiliary power,
but very definitely she was some
thing else. Her racing-schooner hull,
astonishingly loaded by her great
Diesel, had hardly any cargo space
at all, other than that needed for
her own stores. Karen put out
tentative feeler.
81 was wondering how your
schooner came by her name"
''Holokai means 'sea-rider,'" he
told her.
''That's peculiarly poetic"
"Oh, I didn't name her myself.
She was named by the man from
whom she came to me-"
"Who?" Karen asked innocently.
Tonga Dick shrugged. ''There are
all manner of boats knocking about
the Pacific. You can always get
hold of a boat"
She studied Tonga Dick Wayne,
covertly. In the bright reflected
light of the cloudless sea he still
seemed young, even younger than
she had believed the night before.
She thought now that she detected
something family ironic in his gaze.
It was as if the darkness that was
under the blue Of the sea had come
nearer behind his eyes.
Karen turned uneasy. She said,
'Dick-what is it?"
you're very lovely" he said.
''It's only fair to tell you this: in
every way that can imagine, you're
the loveliest thing I've ever seen on
the earth or the face of the sea-"
"Well, really, are you making love
to me now?" 1t was a fiimsy de-
tense; in contradiction to his words,
she knew that he was not making
love.
mo man of any sense pretends
to know anything about women"
Tonga Dick was saying. "The old
Island people drew headlines past
which no woman could come, and
those lines were drawn by darkness,
and fear. They knew the truth
that it is not possible for man to
know what things govern wom-
an. Yet I'll tell you this: it would
be easy for anyone to believe in
you, even without understanding you
at ALL"
He was speaking as If from behind
wall. Suddenly Karen Waterson
knew what he had meant, and it ac-
counted for the fiat sound Of words
that should have been love-making.
A sharp and immediate panic swept
her as she understood, all at once
and completely, that Richard Wayne
knew who she was.
She jerked her eyes from his face
and stood up, bracing herself against
the reel of the little schooner. A
glance across the face Of the sea
told her startling thing, before UNI
considered. All that day, since ear
ly morning, they had been striking
straight out from Honolulu into the
open Pacific. -

load capacities established by
states. counties, and even munich
palities. An effective trucking pro-
gram cannot be carried out, says
Eastman, II, for example, a truck
carrying airplane parts from New
York to Baltimore. Md, cannot go
through Pennsylvania because its
full capacity load exceeds the
weight established by Pennsylvania
state law. Recruiting wastes gaso-
line and rubber. So. does dividing
the load among several trucks.
Transferring the load from trucks
to railroad cars wastes valuable
time.
To ease the red tape of conflicting
state laws transportation officials
are aiming at program setting up
Limitations according to the carrying
capacity OF the tires. A scale has
been compiled OF types Of tires and
their carrying abilities, which is
flexible enough TO assure safety.
Poor highway systems are said to
be responsible for the settling up OF
state barriers. ODT officials he e
praise Michigans highways, which
make it possible for the state to be
lenient in trucking regulations.
If Eastmans appeal does not
bring immediate results. he threat
ems to ask for an executive order
from the President establishing uni

*" is the blood-clotting vitamin,
discovered only few years ago,
with alfalfa its first good natural
source, The synthetic forms have
proved more effective in prevent
ing bleeding than the natural varie-
ties OF this vitamin
But in prevention of dental de-
cay the vitamin has no connec-
ton with bleeding. 1t inhibits high
acidity in the mouth. This acidity
in recent years has come more
and more TO be. accepted as the fore
most cause of tooth decay.
The Northwestern University
dentists made their first expert
ments with X as an acid proven
tive in test tubes There, mixed
with amounts of glucose that cause
high acidity, the synthetic vitamin
prevented acid formation for long
periods
Next they made clinical expert
ments. that is. on human beings
they found that the yitamin effec
lively stopped mouth acidity. They
used mixtures OF sweets which.
when no vitamin was added. caused
a rapid increase Of acid in as little
as three minutes.
They said the vitamin had no eff
feet on the bacteria in the mouth.
Its acidprevention appears to be
due TO its action on one of the
phosphates in the mouth.

substances removed from sugar
