Crouching, he made his way to the engine. : Water sizzled gently as his wet fingers touched hot metal. The job took him only a minute, but it was barely enough. He had not reached the shore again, swimming swimming silently, when he heard the men on the houseboat pull in the launch-and start to pile aboard. It was getting rapidly lighter, and as Ronnie hastily wrung out his underwear, underwear, rubbed himself down with it, and donned his dry things, he could see that the houseboat had slewed around, now that' it had been loosed from all its moorings save one hawser. Three men were in the launch, adjusting tow-ropes, while Cramer stood on the houseboat, prepared prepared to cast loose from the pier when all was ready. Ronnie tucked the rotor he had removed from the engine's distributor distributor head into his pocket, and waited for the storm. It came. After a dozen futile efforts efforts to start- the motor, sulphur- out language arose from the river. The men argued ' and suggested and cursed. Cramer climbed into the boat and tried his hand. Ronnie smiled grimly. Five minutes went by, and then, suddenly, there was a shout. Someone Someone had discovered the wet tracks that Ronnie had left in the boat ! "I knew something was queer ! Somebody's around here! Somebody got Franks, and somebody's just scotched the engine!" Ronnie reached for his gun. And then--pandemonium ripped the quiet riverside as everything abruptly happened at once.

A revolver barked from the houseboat, and a bullet whistled by Ronnie's head. Cramer, the quiekest-witted of the gang, made a sudden dash for the * one hawser that held the houseboat to the pier, whereupon Ronnie's gun spoke, and the man's hat jumped from his head into the water. Cramer cursed and followed by his three confederates, dove into the interior of the houseboat, and slammed the door. Just then there came a thump and a crash from inside the shed, and a torrent of blows shook the latched door. The aviator, trussed up in more of a hurry that his fellow prisoner, had managed finally to wriggle free. The car had mine to a stop, and Ronnie's friend Castle, accompanied by two uniformed men, sprang out and dashed toward Ronnie. Swiftly, he explained the stiuation. Meanwhile, Meanwhile, the thumps on the shed door continued, until Ronnie shou id, "Quiet, you! Or I'll put a bullet through the shed!" The uproar ceased ceased tor a few moments, then, there was tense quiet, while two councils of war went on, one on shore, behind the boatshed, the ether on the houseboat. houseboat. Then, Castle stepped from cover and shouted toward the houseboat. "Come out of it, Cramer !" he called called sternly. "The game's up! You -can't get away!"

"Okay--the only, thing to do is besiege the n, but we've got to watch out that they don't escape 1 by the river. They may drop off the other side of the. boat and try to get downstream under water. Now look here . . ." Iris and Arkwright, having first wasted considerable time by taking a wrong- turning, had at last found the road leading down to the pier. As they humped along the narrow road, two shots suddenly rang out ahead of them, followed some three or four minutes later by a third. Arkwright suddenly slowed the car. "Oh, don't slow down!" cried Iris, in a frenzy of fear for Ronnie's Ronnie's safety. "We're almost there!" "Now just a minute, just a minute," minute," he calmed her. "You know we may be a lot more help if we sneak up on this party and size up the situation first." They nosed around a curve, and there before them, some three hun- dred yards away, was the river, with the houseboat sitting sideways to the pier and the launch drifting at the end of its painter. Four men stood grouped near the end of the pier, with the shed between them and the houseboat. With a sigh of thankfulness, Iris recognized Ronnie Ronnie among them. Arkwright backed his car out of sight again and switched off the engine. engine. "Was one of those men Manning?" he asked. Iris nodded.
