"CONTRABAN D'tS®

CHAPTER XXX "I see; so that’s the way of it, but if you had this bright ide* of collecting Sallust’s papers why didn't you tell the Chief what you meant to do?” Sabine suddenly straightened herself. “I am answerable to him and not to you.” “Got the papers?" "I’d just finished searching the place. There isn't a thing here that matters. He evidently keeps any notes he has somewhere else." “Right then. We'll be moving. I don’t believe your story and I doubt if the Chief will either; but he’s mighty anxious to see you again and put you through it. Come on; get downstairs to the car.” Sabine hesitated only a second. Gregory would be returning soon now. How could he possibly overcome three armed men if he were taken by surprise by them on entering his sitting room. They believed him dead, but if they found that their last attempt upon him had failed they were capable of shooting him out of hand, and they had sdencers upon their automatics. The thought of trying to explain her movements under the steady gaze of Lord Gavin’s soulless eyes, terrified her but Gregory’s life lay in the balance When he drew up before the house a few minutes later a large car was just disappearing round the corner of the street Upstairs he found the bags packed and ready; but no sign of Sabine. He called aloud for her but there was no response. The flat was empty. With a bitter, hopeless feeling of distress he suddenly realized that for some incomprehensible reason, she had changed her mind and left him once again. Except for the packed suitcases and the crumpled bed, where Sabine had been sleeping when he arrived, her presence there might have been a dream. He was faced again by exactly the same problem as that which he had battled with on his way back from Scotland Yard an hour and a half earlier. Should he risk wrecking the whole of the police campaign by going down to Quex Park and either cajoling or forcing Sabine to cross the Channel with him, before she was ar--sted, or must he take a chance -pon being able to get her out of .rouble later; so that the police night have a free hand to round up the whole of Gavin Fortescue’s organization in one swift move? In any case, it seemed that so jhrewd a man as Gavin Fortescue would have seen the red light and would, therefore, bring his operations to a close, either that coming night or the next; before the new ■noon came in. On one or other of them the chances were he would land those men who might do such incalculable harm to the peace and prosperity of Britain. Between the two necessities —for preventing that dire calamity and saving Sabine from prison—Gregory rocked mentally as he sat with his head buried in his hands. It was the most distressing problem he had ever had to face and he could reach no definite decision. At last he got slowly to his feet •ind began to ease his clothes from his sore back and chest. The police net would not close until the following night at the earliest; that fact alone seemed reasonably certain. Therefore he still had a good twelve hours in front of him before he need make the final plunge one way or the other. Ordinarily he was a man of quick decisions, but in this case ! he felt the old adage “sleep on it” i was true wisdom. Five hours later he entered Superintendent Marrowfat’s room, punctual to the minute; spick and span again and ready to cope with any situation. Wells was already there and Sir Pellinore arrived almost on Gregory’s heels. Marrowfat nodded a cheerful good morning and, as they sat down, pushed a telegram across his table towards them. “They’ll be out again tonight," he \ said. “Though we’re not quite cer-

tain where, yet. It looks as if they , mean to use a base we haven't 1 tumbled to.” r Gregory picked up the telegram, i “How did you get this?” he asked. “Usual way," the Superintendent I grinned. “We tipped off the Post l Office to let us have copies of any telegrams which came through for Mitbloom & Allison.” Gregory read out the message: “MITBLOOM 43 BARTER STRICT LONDON E.l. TENTH 21 33 COROT.” Wells held a slip of paper in his hand. "According to the key you worked out last night from Ariel's songs, that means: 'Full fathom jive thy father lies; Hie time doth take.’ Doesn’t seem to make sense does it?" Gregory sat thoughtful for a moment then he said; ‘“Full fathom five thy father Hee’ " sounds like another base, as you suggest Somewhere on the coast, I suppose but where goodness knows!” “I take it to mean some place where the water remains five fathoms deep even at low tide," said the Superintendent He spread out a large scale map of Kent and all four men bent over it “In that case it can be nowhere on the seacoast," Sir Pellinore remarked, "but there are plenty of places round Sheppey or in the channel of the Medway, running up to Chatham, that are quite dose inland and never less than five fathoms.” “That’s about it, sir,” Wells nodded. “There’s any number of quiet spots among all those islands; but which is it? That’s the question." “Why should they mention the depth of the water?” Gregory spoke thoughtfully. “I wonder if Gavin Fortescue is employing fast motor boats as well as planes to land his cargoes. It’s a possibility you know; when the contraband is of a heavy nature.” "That’s a fact,” agreed the Superintendent, “and the second number, 33, should give us the nature of the cargo, shouldn’t it? It doesn’t offer much to go on though; ‘his—time—doth—take.’ Time, is about the only word in it worth thinking about” “Clocks, my friend," announced Sir Pellinore quietly, “and watches. Those are the things by which we tell the time, aren’t they? There’s quite a high duty on them too, and they would certainly constitute weighty cargo.” “By jove, you’re right, sir.” Wells backed him up. “They’re landing a cargo of clocks at some place in the Thames Estuary where the channel is never less than five fathoms deep at low tide.” For a moment they stood silent round the table, then the Superintendent said: “If only we knew the place I’d pull them in tonight Since Lord Gavin caught Mr. Sallust and Wells he must know' we’ve been watching some of his people, although he's probably not aware yet that we have the Park under observation. He may decide to quit any moment now and, as the new moon’s on the 12th, this may be the last cargo he’ll chance running.” The grip of Gregory’s muscular hands tightened a little on the aims of his chair. The Superintendent was no fool and summed up the position precisely as he had himself a few hours before. That made it more imperative than ever that he must make up his mind what he intended to do about Sabine. "You might rai 1 the Park and get Gavin Fortescue tonight in any case,” suggested Sir Pellinore. "After all he is the center of the whole conspiracy.” The Superintendent shook his big head. “I’d rather work it the other way, Sir. If we nab him first it may prevent him giving some signal which is the O.K. for his men to run their stuff. Then we’d lose the bulk of them. Far better let them land, take them redhanded and then bring in Tz.rd Gavin immediately afterward?.” "Have you had any news from the j Park?” Gregory enquired. “Nothing that’s of any help to I

f us.” Wells looked up quickly. “My t man Simmons rang up early this morning to say Mademoiselle Sa- . bine had slipped off on her own, round about midnight; telephoned t from Birchington and then hired a t car in which she drove away tot wards London. She turned up there • again this morning though, just before eight, in a different car and three men were with her. The ■ Limper was one of them.” Gregory remained poker-faced at i this piece of information. So she i had gone back to Gavin Fortescue, i but why had three of the others been with her? It flashed into his mind that perhaps she had not gone back to Quex Park of her own free will and that they had been sent to get her. But if that were so how had the Limper and his men discovered ■ where she was. It was more probable, he considered, that Sabine, having no car of her own, had taken the early train to Canterbury and then telephoned for them to fetch her. While the rest were poring over the map of the Thames Estuary and discussing the most likely spots where a landing might be affected at low tide Sir Pellinore and Gregory left the conference room together. From Scotland Yard they crossed Whitehall, entered St James’s Park at Birdcage Walk and, turning left, crossed the Horse Guards Parade towards Carleton House Terrace. They did not exchange a word as they walked on side by side; until they reached Waterloo steps and were ascending them towards the terrace. “You’ll lunch with me?” asked Sir Pellinore. “That will pass a little of the time while we’re waiting.” “Thanks, I’d like to. D’you think they’ll raid Quex Park tonight?” “I haven’t a doubt of it Marrowfat is not a fool and Gavin Fortescue must realize by now that the tide is running swiftly against him. He’s probably making his preparation for departure at this moment. If the police don’t rope him in tonight they will have lost an opportunity which may not recur for months to come.” "In that case I may not be with you.” Sir Pellinore grunted. “I had an idea that might be so. You’re a clever fellow, Gregory, and I doubt if they spotted anything at the Yard, but I know you so well. You’re worried about that young Hungarian baggage, aren’t you?” “I am,” Gregory agreed. “Damnably worried. If they pull her in with the rest of the gang she’ll be sent to prison.” “I know, I know,” Sir Pellinore broke in. “I would do anything in my power to save her from that if I could, but even my influence is not sufficient to secure a free pardon for her unless she is prepared to turn King’s Evidence.” They did not speak again until they had entered the house and were seated in the big library overlooking the Mall. There again they fell silent while they drank the champagne the butler had brought, until Sir Pellinore said at last with a swift look at his guest: “Well, what’re you going to do?” "Go down and get her out before they raid the place tonight” “You’re taking a pretty nasty risk, you know,” said Sir Pellinore quietly. “Obstructing the police in the execution of their duty, aiding a known criminal to escape from the country, and all that sort of thing. You’ll be a sitting pheasant for three months in prison yourself if you’re not darned careful.’’ “I know it . . . But what of it! I’ve got to get her out of it somehow, haven’t I?” “Os course. I should feel just the same, but you’ve got yojir work cut out and I’ll be devilled if I see how you’re going to do it Got any sort of plan?” “Na I’m absolutely in the air at the moment and I’m not liking the • situation one little bit I’ll tell you J just how I stand.” (To Be Continued) I Copyr’rht.
