made him sure he would be good
enough.
The first boat was nearly at the
shore. Mr.. Wrinkle sighted the gun
for the spot he figured the men
would be when they stepped out.
That was what he had been taught.
He still had a moment. He en-
ployed it by coolly taking off his
glasses and wiping them dry with
his handkerchief. He wiped his face
and neck, both of which streamed
with sweat.
He glanced about.
This was where he would die.
He had often wondered in what
circumstances and in what locality
it would occur. Now he knew. It
wasn't such bad place. He saw
it almost for the first time, the wav-
ing palm trees, the Towering hibis-
Gus.
He liked it.
1t was romantic.
Amy, he thought, would be glad
to know it was such an attractive
place.
It occurred to him that for the
first time in his life he wasn't afraid
to die. He even exulted in it. He
heard his voice. He was laughing.
He felt released from hard, painful
bonds. He knew that, at last, Will
bert George Wrinkle, in the flesh and
not in a newspaper headline, was
proud to fight.
He turned back to the gun. It
was nearly time.
The assault boat beached in shall
low water. Men started jumping
out and splashing through the wa
ter. He could see their faces, brown,
slant-eyed, expressionless. Mr.. VIM
kle let them all get out. Then, care
fully sighting, he squeezed the trig-
ger.
There was snap and jerk.
The gun damned without firing.
J Frantically, he worked at the gun.
One finger caught in the mocha
nism. He tore it away. Blood
spurted, but he paid no attention.
He kept picking at the jammed
cartridge. Finally he got it out, and
new one in the firing chamber, the
gun prepared properly.
Five men had run ahead, off to
one side. Mr.. Wrinkle swung his
i gun around, concentrating on them
first. This time the gun fired. He
! was astonished to see the men fall.
He wasn't sure If one of them got
away.
He swung the gun back, splitting
vengeance at the larger group. AS
the bullets spat out from under his
hands, still new and greater world
opened before him.
This was what he had lived for.
Life had a meaning and a purpose
of which he had never dreamed.

CHAPTER XII

Mr.. Wrinkle pulled his steel helmet
more securely on his head and
pressed on the accelerator OF the
car.
The jeep shot off the road and
along the sand trail leading to the
beach. The command car stood
where it had been left, in partially
cleared space enclosed by low
palms. Mr.. Wrinkle stopped along
side it.
AS they got out, he glanced at the
tent, set at one side among the trees.
Ordinarily, the off-duty members OF
the machine-gun crew would be loll-
ing or sleeping there. It was empty.
Up on the low ridge, fifty feet
away, a helmeted head appeared
above the sand. 1t was the Alpha
bet. Recognizing them, he waved
briefly and then disappeared.
"It amt like him." Mr.. Tinker
observed, mot to be hospitable to
his friends"
Mr.. Wrinkle took their tools from
the back seat of the jeep. His
hands shook little. He pulled his
helmet still more securely over his
head and said, "We'd better get to
work"
1--WE can take a minute" Mr..
Tinker said, ''to see what's going
on up there"
Reluctantly, Mr.. Wrinkle followed
him to the ridge.
They didn't receive a very warm
welcome. eff you got to come here, p"
Sergeant Czeideskrowski snapped,
''get down in"
They scrambled below ground lev
ell, launching themselves into the fox
