"I sincerely hope you‘ll have better news of your father," said Glynn. "You can get cables on the way at the different airports of course." Glynn files the machine to London but the doctors refuse to allow the Prince to fily to India. Aswa last resort the Prince has a short talking film made of himself reading the Proclamation of Inâ€" heritance.

Aswa last resort the At Croydon aerodrome, Glynn Elliman, pilot of the Indian Air Mail liner, meets Norah Seaman. At the last minute Glynn is ordered to standâ€"by for a special job. The Prince of Napalata is ill in London and in haste to réturn to India, where his father has died. He must be rtmnt to claim the throne, which his halfâ€"brother, The Vulture, plots to seize. * Flying Courier sSYNXOPSIS, to her fathors by Boyd Cabie On the Monday, the third day of the journey, they transferred from land to oversea transport, leaving Brindisi in If the latter was the intention, it was certainly a wise one, because by the third night, although he never left his attacheâ€"case out of his sight or reach, he was certainly less alert and on guard against possible efforts to rob him than he had been on first leaving London. ‘ In the light of later events he was to believe that the lack of any attempt on his charge for the first day or two was either due to the plotters wanting time to make sure how and where the film was carried, or perhaps to lull him into a sense of security. 1 The secretary and the equerry had both been so urgent and insistent on the certainty that the agents of the Vulture know 1 to be in London would do anything in their power to destroy the films and, or, the Courier carrying them, that he had been fully impressâ€" ed. The damage done to the Syntax was taken as clear evidence it was known the machine was for the use of the Prince, and it was hoped that it would also be supposed that the courier would fly the films out in the same machine. Glynn, after a couple of days, without sign of any attempt to rob him, was coming to believe this had happened, and that the ruse of sending him by Air Mail had thrown the enemy off the scent. He was able to make the same exâ€" amination and relieved remark both on the next morning and again on arrival at Brindisi on the Monday morning, and he began to feel a good deal more of a sense of security, and to think he had slipped off with the films by Air Mail without the Prince‘s enemies knowing anything about it. _ "All right so far," he murmured with a sigh of relief. "All that stuff about the cleverness of that Indian as an expert thiefâ€"and that chance of Max in the Post Officeâ€"is making me jumpy. But either they haven‘t spotted where I‘m carrying the stuff, or they haven‘t had a fair chance to get at it.

"You‘d be astonished at the strength of these boats and the weight of a sea they can climb off, or drop on, or ride out if need be."
