OAK ISLAND was an armed
~ camp. They were halted twice
by outposts before it came in sight,
and at its entrance three hard
eyed guards took charge of them
and escorted them suspiciously up
the curving driveway. There were
armed men everywhere, camped
in little groups along the wide
curve of the beach for more than
a quarter of mile, lounging on
the vast, tree-shaded lawn that
occupied a good two hundred
yards between the beach and the
house itself. gambling on the wide,
white-pillared gallery, talking in
low voices in the covered breeze
way, rigidly on guard before the
closed double doors where Clay
and his escort finally called a halt.
The guard was surly, irritable
with the enforced and inescapable
duty that had fallen to his lot,
resentfully determined to unload
his own stifled anger upon anyone
who came his way.
''Morgan?" he sneered. "Great
God Almighty! There CANT no
body git in to see Morgan now.
He's got work to do and he shore
amt fixin' to be disturbed. Wait
over there, if you're a mind to.
He might be out toward noon, if
he don't have his dinner sent in
to him, which he's likely to do"
The guards grunted in disgust,
but Clay could see that there was
no intention on their part to dis
pute their surly companions re-
pulse. If Morgan wanted to be left
in peace, it was no concern of
theirs. But it was no part of Clay's
plan to be left to cool his heels
outside the door of some guerrilla
politician. The regiment was wait
ing less than fifteen miles away,
subject to the constant threat of
discovery, and every hour that
passed increased that risk tenfold.
Before. they realized his inten-
ton, he had stepped forward and
his knuckles set up a rumbling
tattoo on the carved oak panels of
the door.
"Morgan!" His voice carried
like a rifle bullet. "Pve got busi-
ness with you and it can't wait. /
want to see you and / want to
see you now!"
Like a pack of wolves, the
gua4ds converged upon him from
all directions, shocked into vio-
lence at this sacrilege, determined

dence of their good intentions.
BIT even as the first hand fell
upon his shoulder. a voice that
roared like an angry bull came
rumbling through the door and
held them motionlesS.
"Who is raising all that row out
there? Goddamn it, / told you"
Clay cut in, his own voice beat
ing down the others roar by sheer
force and power.
Morgan, I've come from Vera
Cruz to lay a proposition before
you, and you're going to take 1t
or leave it now. If you're not in
terested, say so, and I'll take it on
to someone else IN Houston"
You could feel the silence de-
scend like blanket. holding the
guards rigid in their tracks, en-
veloping them all as they waited
for Morgan's answer. Then it
came-no roar now, but a rum
bling like the faraway sound of a
great waterfall tumbling over a
wide-hpped precipice.
Guard, bring that man in
here"
THE guards look at Clay would
L 1ave melted cold steel at twen-
ty PAGES, but there was no help
for il now. Angrily he jerked the
door open and tried to shove Clay
in before him. But, strangely
enough, Clay's shoulder was not
there when he reached for it. In
stead. he found his arm arched
above Clay's shoulder in rigid,
back-elbowed strain. He felt Clay's
hand on his wrist, felt his own
feet leave the floor, and found the
world abruptly turned upside
down, as he was flung in a somer-
sault that left him fiat on his back
before Morgan's desk. Cursing, he
rolled over and clawed for his
gun, but as his hand closed on it,
Clay's boot swung forward in a
vicious arc that caught him just
above the wrist and sent the gun
flying in a gray parabola across
the room.
Stay down." There was no
mercy in Clay's voice now, moth
ing but a hint of steel that was
more frightening than a drawn
blade. "Stay down, if you want to
stay alive" The guard lay still,
his breath rasping in and out
through his open lips, and CLAY
looked up to meet his host.
His first impression was a
shocked awareness of the sheer,
gross bulkiness of the man who
faced him across the desk. He was

SEA
SECRETS

@. What is the most dangerous
of all singing fishes?
A. Apparently this is the stone
fish of the tropical Pacific, Synan-
jeca verrucoSa. The sting of this
fish has been likened to the bite
of a cobra, and intense suffering
and possible death will result from
accidental contact with its poison
bearing dorsal spines. Because of
its protective coloring and its ha-
bit of laying motionlesS on the
bottom in shallow water, the stone
fish is easily stepped upon by a
careless wader. Belonging to the
Family of scorpionfishes, the
Scorpeanidae, this fish has a num-
ber of poisonous but less danger
Gus relatives in Caribbean waters.
@. Why is the goose barnacle So
named?
A. This barnacle (Lepas) receives
its name from the appearance of
its flattened shell, which somewhat
resembles the outline of a goose's
body with folded wings, while a
dark neckline stalk attacks this
shell to floating wood, rocks, etc.
In fact, the resemblance of Lepas
to a tiny goose gave rise among
the ancients to the belief that this
barnacle would eventually turn in
to a goose. Ridiculous as this idea
may seem to us, it was widely
accepted as scientific fact at the
time.
@. Does the size of a fish's
mouth indicate the size of the food
it eats?
A. Only to limited extent. The
teeth are a much better indicator,
since they show by their form the
type of food eaten. Long, sharp
teeth denote fish with predatory
habits, while flattened or bristly
teeth indicate a diet of mollusks
or seaweeds, respectively. Occa-
Sionally fish with very large
mouths will feed on the smallest
of sea life, as in the basking and
whale sharks and the manta ray.
In these fish the teeth are very
small or altogether absent and the
food is trained from the water by
brush-like gill rakers.
@. Do crabs grow at the moment
they moult?
A. No, the growth takes place
a short time afterwards while the
shell is still soft and flexible.
Since crabs are normally encased
in a hard, jointed shell, this must
be shed periodically in order that
growth can occur. This is accom-
plished by the crabs slowly back
ing out through a split a the juno
ton of the upper and lower parts
of the shell. The new shell is soft
and rubbery at first, and during
the next "a hours water is gradual
ly absorbed by the body tissues,
increasing in size of the crab be-
fore the shell completely hardens.
A crab eaten at this recently hard |
ened stage viii be found to have
soft and watery meat as well as
an inferior flavor.
Q. Why doesn't the sea eventual |
ly become polluted by dead fish? |
A. This does not occur because
of the constant action of bacteria, |
which quickly reduces all dead |
matter to water -soluable nitrates, |
phosphrateS. and other breakdown |
products which are soon dispersed |
by the missing action of wind,
waves, and ocean currents. These !
minerals returned to solution by |
bacterial action are in turn absorb |
ed by marine plants, many of |
which are microscopic in size and |
form the basis of the flood chain"
in the sea, being in turn eaten by |
small sea animals which are then
preyed upon by fish.

.Bathtub Secret
Is Finally Out

WASHINGTON R-Herman PERL
mans secret, which won him a $500
U. S. bond when he disclosed it on
a television network, is engraved
in the White House-and on a bath
tub.
But it may be that even Presi-
dent Truman, whose tub it is,
didn't know about it until Perlman
told the story Thursday on the
CBS-TV program, 1--WE got a
secret"
Perlman, who owns a local glass
carving business, was hired to
carve designs on the glass panels
of five bath tubs when the White
House was renovated.
He worked out appropriate de-
signs: a bald eagle and an olive
branch for the President, a striped
shield and stars for Mrs. Truman,
stars and arrows for the tub Mar
garet Truman uses.
Then, on the back side of panel
of the Presidents tub, where it
can't be seen because the panel
is sealed against a wall, he carved
the special message which Perl
man says he lust thought up" II
reads:
In this tub bathes the man
whose heart is always clean and
serves his people truthfully."
