The suit paused to close the door, then advanced toward tha couch on which Don Diego was extended, and inside the suit came a tall, slender gentleman of about Don Diego's own height and shape. Don Dicgo struggled up into a mit- ting position on the red velvet couch. “Who the devil are you?" he asked. "And what the devil are you doing in my clothes and aboard my ship'." "Your ship?" quoth the other, aghast. and still more aghast he add- (d: "Your clothes? But . . . Then . . ." Wildly his eyes looked about him.

To indulge 'him Captain Blood consented that-he {should take the air on deck, and so, ly the last of daylight was fading from the sky, Jeremy Pitt came forth 'upon the Captain's arm. With the (seanen's instinct his eyes wandered 'to the darkling vault of heaven, ‘spangled already with a myriad gol- tden points of light.

Captaifx Blood easily mentioned it to Don Diego: G thiihere. "lf so, G, will release you and your mrrvivimt men upon arrival For three days the wind held, in- deed it freshened a little on the sec- ond, and yet when the third night descended upon them they had still ned it idly, vacamly; and then, hie attention became sharply fixed. He looked round and up at Captain Blood, who stood beside him. "If this wind hplds,'rhe told them, "we should reach Curacao inside three "ri will be for to-morrow morning," he was answered with calm convic- tion. "D'ye know anything of astron- omy, Peter?" quot!) pe._ _ _ "irisironomy,"is it? Faith, now, I couldn't tell the Belt of Orion from the Girdle of Venus." Or, the instant Mr. Blood shed his laziness. He stiffened with apple-- hension, and was about to speak when a shaft of light clove the gloom above their heads, coming from the door of the poop cabin which had just been opened. Don Diego was approaching. Captain Blcod's fingers pressed Jerry's shoulder with siirnifkanee. "Will ye settle a slight dispute for us, Don Diego?" said he lightly. "We are arguing, Mr. Pitt and I, as to which is the North Star." "For lack of a better," laughed the Captain, good-humoredly eontemptu- ous. "Now I am ready to wager him a hundred pieces of eight that that is the North Star." And he flung out an arm toward a point of light in the heavens straight abcam. He after- ward told Pitt that had Don Diego confirmed him, he would have run him through upon that instant. Far from that, however, the Spaniard freely expressed his scorn. "Soy' The Spaniard's tone was easy. "But you tell me Mr. Pitt he is your navigtmt?" -- - - - "You have the assurance that is of ignorance, Don Pedro; and you lose. The North Star is this one." And he indicated it. "He isn't an idler. dear. He's writ. ten a novel that has several wonder. ful situations in it." “He ought to take one of them then and go to work."

NURSES (To be continued.) will navigate When Bert Acosta climbed into the cockpit of the America on the morm " of June 29 a few minutes before the big plane was to roar down the improvised runway on its Beientittc exploit, T. Harold Kinkade, known to the men who " as "Doe," was sitting at the controls, his sensitive ears tuned to the hum of the three engines upon which was to depend the mace“ or failure of the flight. The Motor Expert Who Was Largely Responsible for Success of Polar and Altantic Flights Upon him rested the responsibility of giving the anal check on the mot- ors which he had nursed from the day they had come trom the Wright Aero- nautical Corporation factory at Pater. son, NJ., to be installed in the Fokker plane. To know as much as any one else in the world about the operation ot the motors selected for such an enter- prise. and to be assigned to the task ot seeing that those motors are tune. tioning as perfectly as it was human- ly possible to make them, carries with it a responsibility which cannot be taken lightly. The utmost patience, painstaking exactness, skill, eonit. dence and bravery to say "0. K." when the lives ot others depend upon your efforts are. some of the qualities which are esaential to the profession of the aeronoutical service engineer. in Kinkade's own words: "When working on the final inspections I- as do all others-always put myself in the seat ot the pilot who is malt- ing the flight and ask myself if I have done my best. It takes days and even months to accomplish the satisfactory results before we can say 'O. K.' It means lire or death to the man or men who are going up, it means thousands of dollars to the sponsors of the flight and, of course, closest to all concerned, it means success or failure." HIS "O.K." MEANS "O.K." This is the creed in the profession of those who stay on the field while others are soaring to fame and ac- complisrhmtsat. When Kinkade had adjusted the throttle on the last ot the three big motors to undergo his scrutiny, when ho had told Commander Byrd that they were as perfect as it was human- ly possible to make them, it was evi. dent that he'wanted to go along to see how those motors would sound out in the middle of the Atlantic. Doubtiess Commander Byrd would have risked allowing him to stow away in plain sight. but Kinkade was too much of an aeronaut to allow per- sonal ambitions to interfere with his duties. Bo after arranging equipment in the fuselage of the plane, he slip- ped out of the cabin and waved good bye to his comrades. Then he hurried to a steamer to be on hand in Europe should Commander Byrd want him, Perhaps his part in the aerial un- dertakings which have made history during thh last two months has not been a dramatic one, but pilots every- where know that behind the quiet countenance ot the stubby little man "who knows motors" are the qualities which have been largely responsible tor the success ot the undertakings. Kinkade's knowledge of the Wright Whirlwind engine has taken him to many countries and the conscience with which he applies his knowledge has brought him much discomfort. In 1925 he went to Holland to install the engine in the first three-motor plane ever built. Then when the same plane was bought by Commander Byrd for the North Pole tiight he vent to Spitzbergen to care for the motors there. The following summer he went to northern Canada to take charge of the motors of an air line operating between mining camps. When Byrd prepared for his Parts tiight he joined him again to work on the motors in the America. The re- sponsibility of giving the final check tor Chamberlain and Acosta in their record fifty-one-hour flight was his. When the Bellanca was ready to hop oft it was he who had to give the word. And then came the flight of the America, with three motors to groom tor their task ot lifting seven tons from Roosevelt Field and carry- ing the weight across the ocean. There were hardships to all ot the tasks. They meant sleepless days and nights. They meant hours with- out food., tor Kinknde never stops working till his job is done. But the most strenuous task ot all was the preparation of the Josephine Ford for its dash to the pole. . With the thermometer hovering be- low zero Kinkade'a technical task was complicated. He was in an unknown Bemi, for no one could guess just how the motors would behave th the tem- peratures. And with the complies tions of tho, an were the higher stakes, for it one of the motors had failed our the polar sea Byrd and Bennett pould never have gotten back. in the Atlantic, with all its perils. there were steamship linen. radio' Advice. tiolhursible boats and mild temperatures.

ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO At Klng'n Bay, where the hie-oi! m to be made, there were problems to be met before the question ot motor performance wan to be considered. The planes had to be taken ashore through shitting iee times on tour life- boat: as a raft, a. runway had to be trampled down tn the snow and a camp had to be set up on the ice. The planes had to be assembled without derricka or tackle. To all at these problems Kinkade devoted his twenty working hours a day. Then his task came. It was impossible to instal and tul. Just the motors with Moves on. He worked barehandcd. dipping them in stinging gasoline to wash oft spark plugs. setting up tapeur, measuring clearances. He paused every few minutes to warm his hands in his pockets or to dip them in warm kero. sene, but he worked on two Arctic days and nights without sleep, until the motors were purring to his satis- iaction and he give Commander Byrd his "O.K." His hands were frostbit- ten when he now the big Josephine Ford rise from the last drop in the runway, but under the spell of the ro- mance ot his Job he was not aware of it. Yet even the life of a service engin- eer is sometimes tinted with the spec- tacular. Durng his long career as an engine expert Kinkade has spent much time at army and navy posts as a. technical expert. It was in that ca. assigned to Langley Field, Virginia, in February, 1922, when the dirigible Roma was to undergo her tests with new Liberty motors, replacing the Italian engines. Kinknde was to go along "to see how they sounded." He was on board as she was about to take oft, but an army olicer sent him back to the hangar to get a parachute. He hurried back, only to and that the ship had risen without him. A" few minutes later he saw her come down in flames when she dropped on a high- tension wire. Thirtyviour ot the iurty.tive aboard her were dead.

A Clergyman'tt Reply. , A friend ot the Rev. Mr. Dittrhtleld wrote a. guide to Bilchester, the an- cient Roman city, and persuaded the bishop to write a preface to the vol- ume. Staying at a squive's house, he was talkin gm the daughter of his host. and expressed a wish to see Siichcster. “Have your never seen it?" asked the indy. "Why, you wrote about it!" . Two oillcials were dismissing the failings of their ministerial heads in answering questions in Parliament. "Pertsohauy," said the one, "I don't see any necessity tor ministers at all. The departments would run better without them." "No." replied the, other, "they have their urea. You see, the permanent omcial needs someone to tell him how much the public will stand." "Well," said the bishop. "i thought ot refusing to write that preface at first, as I had not visited the place; but then I reflected that many of my cloth have never been to heaven and may never be there yet they say a lot about it, so I consented to write about Silchester." wu nouns but rugged lee no] Disappearing Propeller Boat Company Ltd. 92 KingSt. W.
