sive as tar barrels. The electric
lantern clicked on, making a pool
of yellow brilliance in the night.
Harcourt fislsed in his knapsack
for the metal plate which Baron
had discovered in Redhead's tool
bag. 1t matched. 1t was a cover
plate belonging to depth charge.
With any luck he would find a
canister with it's plate missing.
He prayed for the luck.
The symptoms of excitement
were familiar to Peter Harcourt.
They were physical and material;
adrenaline pumping into the blood,
nervous tension expressing itself
in cold perspiration in the small
of the back.
Not so material was familiar
feeling in the air which he now
recognized and cursed bitterly.
Feeling? 1t was more of a presence;
something like the mystery that
will make a dogs hackles rise with
out tangible cause; or like the
terror that waits outside a child's
door at night.
He knew it. 1t was an old
acquaintance. 1t was death. stand
ing at attention, waiting for a
mechanism to operate; waiting for
an impudent fellow called Peter
Harcourt who persisted in walking
in its shadow.
None of the depth charges in the
first car was short of its cover
plate, nor was there any sign of
their having been tampered with.
Harcourt used the black box, care
full as doctor chasing a uemor in
the beating of a human heart. He
heard no clockwork ticking. He
moved to the next car and tore
away the tarpaulin. He worked in
a methodical frenzy; looking first
listening. heaving his equipment
from one place to another, climb
ing into car after car after car. .

watching the train from a vantage

house. Bates tried the back door

make even a prudent publican
forget to lock his back door. Bates

slipped inside and switched on the
light. He put a kettle on the fire
burning in the range; then took
some coats from peg and draped
them over the window. They
would stop the light from attract
ing Benbow's attention; and what
the eye didn't see Bates knew that
the heart wouldn't grieve about.
When the clock on the wall of
the inn-keeper's kitchen said five
fifteen, Bates was bending over
the white scrubbed oak table
stirring a brew of tea with a tin
spoon. He shifted the brew and
noted it's color with satisfaction.
Strong = proper five O'Clock in
the-morning tea, it was. Infantry
mans tea. Life-saving tea.
There was a bottle on the dresser
at one end of the room. Bates un-
corked it and poured a scrupulous
measure of rum; then he filled
mug with tea and laced it with the
rum. When he had repeated the
performance he put the teapot
back on the hob to draw and went
out through the back door.
"Cuppa tea, sir?" Benbow
turned and smiled a grave smile.
Thank you, Bates. What's the
sentence for breaking and enter
ing?" Bates coughed and stared at
the sky. Dunno, sir." His superior
chuckled. Il was on the point of
doing the same thing myself.
What's the time?"
"Just after a quarter past five,
sir"
BENBow nursed the hot mug of
tea with his cold hands. A quarter
past five - that meant Harcourt
had been at it for three and a
quarter hours. 1t was a long time
to work in that special and par
ticular loneliness which went with
the danger of extinction. He felt
his stomach cringe at the thought.
The thought of responsibility
nagged at him and a loathing for
his inactive part in the business
welled in his throat. Give me the
mug" he said. "I'll take them
both and drink mine with Major
Harcourt." -.
Benbow stood looking up at
the train. 1--WE brought you a
mug of tea, Harcourt."
Peter Harcourt's head appeared
above the side of the car, and his
deep voice, burdened with strain

Bringing you a mug of tea"
The big man stared down at the
fine face illuminated in the glare
of his lantern. Snug blighter! He
was in a rage, hating the criminal
mechanism in the train, hating the
thought of death, hating himself,
hating Benbow, hating everybody.
He cleaned down, saying Thanks"
in surly voice.

For Gods sake! Would / be-
here otherwise?"
"Of course not" James Ben

What are you doing now?"
Harcourt laughed; a bitter noise
in the darkness. Taking the cover
plates off the detonator pockets
one by one. 1t wasn't a clock after
all. Furthermore the swine screwed
the plate back on again after
planting the mechanism. It's my
guess he had a delay and some
printing all prepared and screwed
to a spare cover plate; that would
account for the one we found in
his tool bag"
BENBow absorbed the informa-
ton. 1t brought a worried frown
to his face. How many have you
done so far?"
about twenty-five, l think -.
which leaves a few hundred to 60.
What's the time?"
Five thirty-two."
Harcourt drained his mug,
drinking with huge gulps, then
leaned over holding it in his hand.
Catch" he said, land get to hell
away from this train. I've got to
get a move on"
Benbow put the two empty
mugs side by side on the track at
his feet. He lifted foot and put
it on the stuffing box protruding
from the wheel nearest to him.
He heaved himself upwards and
over the side of the car. Give me
a screwdriver. With two. of us
there's chance. You'll never find
it alone"
"It's not worth it, you fool.
One mans life, perhaps, not two"
Benbow took off his hat and
started to unbutton his greatcoat.

into Harcourt's k1apsack and
found a screwdriver.

ATA Queries CAB Limitations On Overseas Flights
By FRANK w. VAILLE ZAP Special Washington Service)

WASHINGTON, (P) - A non- scheduled airlines questioned Sat urday whether the Civil Aero nautics Board should place any limitations upon overseas trans portation by irregular air car rierS.
 Air Transport Associates, Inc, an irregular carrier operating from Seattle to Alaska, asked that the question be included in the investigation which the board re- gently ordered into the services of large irregular passenger and cargo carriers.
 ATA was ordered by the board recently to halt its operations because of alleged violations of CAB rules.
 In filing it's latest request with the board, ATA stressed the "spe- cial need for low cost cargo and passenger air transportation ser vice. That need, it said, requires unrestricted service" between the United States and Alaska.
 The carrier said in a brief that Alaskans use Is times the amount of passenger air transportation per capita as does the United States and 114 times more air cargo transportation per capita proving that air cargo transpor- tation is the crying need .''
 The territory's lack of alter native forms of transportation forces reliance upon the air car rier to supply "the necessities of everyday life," it said, adding:
 "La ack of these commodities would seriously affect the stand ard of living of Alaskans where as lack of air cargo in the United States would, at most, be severe inconvenience"

 WASHINGTON, R Because of scientific studies, Secretary of the Interior Chapman said Satur- day, mankind may some day be better able to live and conduct normal business operations in Alaska and other parts of the far north"
 Chapman commented in a state ment on the result of several years of studies of perennially frozen ground. The work has been done by the Geological Sur yey at laboratories here and in Alaska.
 He said research on the action of frost and cold is designed to overcome some of the difficulties of World War II in getting water supplies and building runways, roads, housing, factories, piplines and sanitary facilities for the armed forces in Alaska.
 "At that time we had to de- pend almost entirely upon what factual information we were able to gain from foreign, mostly Russian publications" he said.
 Russia has been wrestling for decades with similar difficulties that impeded colonization and development of her northern areas"
