I "CONTRABAND"I

CHAPTER XXXIII The Limper dived into the cottage, i The Superintendent’s piping blast I was still shrilling through the night when Wells's whistle took up the note and, springing to his feet, he leapt up the bank. Instantly a dozen forms, hidden before, came into view, racing across the coarse grass and broken rubblo towards the cottage. The Inspector reached the door first; his men were close behind him. Gregory had charged in at a different angle, making for one of the downstairs windows. The glass shattered and fell as he bashed at it with the butt end of his borrowed police pistol. The door was bolted; the police were throwing their shoulders against it to break it down. GregI ory and Rudd had stripped the lower window frame of its jagged glass, I parted the curtain, and were peer- | ing into the room. The Limper, two other men, and a thin pinch-faced grey haired woman, were inside. The Limper was bawling down the telephone. “Drop thatl” yelled Gregory, pushing his head and shoulders through the shattered window. “Drop that or I’ll drop you!” He thrust his pistol forward aiming for the Limper's body. The crook spun round, still clutching the instrument, and stared at Gregory; but the police had broken in the door and were crashing into the room. The scuffle was short. By the time Gregory had left the window and walked in through the door the Limper and his companions had been overpowered. Immediately order was restored inside the cottage Wells said abruptly to his men: “Take these other two and the woman into the next room.” Then he faced the | Limper. “Now then, we’ve got you. You’d best come clean. Where were you telephoning to just now?” The Limper’s sullen face disi played only anger and contempt “You go to biases!” he snarled. ' “You’ve got me, and I know it, but you won’t get the Chief.” He turned his sneering eyes on Gregory. “As for you! you’ve asked for all that’s coming to you. That is if you care about the girl. It’s she whe’s double-crossed us; given away somehow the place where we meant to do this job tonight But, blast your soul, I had time to phone; so she'll be for tho high jump. I’ll go to prison but you can go and buy a wreath for her." Gregory’s brown face had gone a : shade paler. He did not reply. Instead, he snatched up the telephone and, a moment later, got the operator. “This is police businesj,” he said, I "urgent! The last call that was I a couple of I minutes ago—what was it?” There was a short pause then he turned to Wells. “Thank God! There’s an intelligent man on the end of this line. This brute called the Quex Park number and said: ‘2l. 35. 19.’ He repeated it twice before we got him.” In a second Wells had out his i notebook. “21, ‘Full fathoms five I thy father lies’ —that’s here, 35, ‘Shake off slumber, and beware:’— 19, ’The watchdogs bark:’—two lines of warning: that’s evidently their code signal for an extreme emergency.” Gregory dug his nails into his palms. The warning had been given. Quex Park was over twenty miles away as the crow flies. If Gavin Fortesene believed as. the Limper obviously did, that Sabine had given j the information about the night . landing which had enabled the po--1 ace to lay their trap, her last hope I ior any clemency from him would | he gone. He might be giving orders I now for her murder before he got away safely to France. While Gregory stood there, sick i vith anger and apprehension, one of ! Wells's men had been running over i the Limper and emptying the conI tents of his pockets on to a kitchen 1 dresser. Among them was a buff I form. 1 Wells snatched it up. It was a

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1938.

telegram, despatched from Birch- . ington that afternoon to Creed, ; Poste Restante, Rochester. He read : out the numbers on it, 44. 32. 27. i The Inspector glanced swiftly > down the lines in his notebook and said: “44, ‘On the bats wing I do fly’—32, ‘Open-eyed conspiracy,— , 27, 'Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell.” Gregory stepped forward. “That means the fleet of planes are out again as well as the barges and ‘open-eyed conspiracy'—good God I Gavin guessed the game was up this afternoon so he’s risking everything on a last throw to land his bunch of communist agitators tonight.” “That’s it," exclaimed Wells, “but where? ‘Sea-nymphs hourly ring 1 his knell’ gives the place all right, but it’s one we haven’t had yet.” A new light of hope lit Gregory’s eyes. If the planes were coming in ' at that moment with the most important cargo of all it was almost certain that Gavin Fortescue would be there to meet them. He would , have left Sabine at Quex Park, so although a warning had been sent there it eould only be telephoned on 1 to him, and he might be many miles away on some desolate stretch of ’ coastline to tho south or east. Per- ' haps, when the warning reached him, he would leave the country at once with the returning planes without risking a return to the park to deal with Sabine. On the other hand he might have taken Sabine with him; in which case her situation would be every bit as desperate as it had been before. In a sudden spate of words he voiced his thoughts to Wells. The Limper laughed. “That’s right. You’re clever enough and a lot of good may it do you. . . Rudd, who was lurking now in a corner of the room, said quickly: “Sea-nymphs. That sounds like mermaids ter me. I reckon the old man's at some bit of a pub called the MERMAID, or the MERMAID TAVERN, or the MERMAID ARMS. Must be a local of that name somewhere round abart this coast.” “Good for yon," nodded Gerry Wells. “Run along to the shacks will you. Tell the Superintendent we’ve got our man and ask him if he can come along with the local inspectors if he's mopped up the crowd on the barges.” Rudd departed at the double. The Superintendent had already dealt with the main body of the smugglers. Rudd met him with Sir Pellinore and the Chief Constable already on his way to the cottage; so that no more than three minutes elapsed before they all crowded into the little room. In a few brief sentences Wells told his superior of the call they had traced, the telegram, and its interpretation. Marrowfat spread out his map upon the bare deal table, but he i shook his head angrily. “Mermaid Tavern! Mermaid Arms! must be dozens of pubs with names like that scattered round the Cinque Ports and the North Kent coast.” “That’s right,” sneered the Limper. “I’ll bet you fifty quid you don’t pick on the right one.” The Chief Constable consulted with his principal officers from various districts who had pushed their way in behind him. Marrowfat proved right; each of them added to the list by some little house or teagarden hotel called the Mermaid, in towns and villages as far apart as Hythe, Broadstairs and Whitstable. Marrowfat and his" colleagues acted with amazing promptitude. In less than five minutes the Yard Squad had been disbanded and told io accompany local officers to twenty different places on the Kent eoast; where a Mermaid tavern might prove the key to Lord Gavin’s secret rendezvous. Wells was left in charge of the Limper while the Superintendent’s | party hurried off to Canterbury; which he had selected as the most central place for their new headquarters. Five minutes after their arrival the little living room of the cottage was empty again, except for Gregory, Rodd, Wells, the Limper and the two officers who held him. Gregory stood there staring at

the floor. He was faced once more with an appalling choice of courses and if he selected the wrong one Sabine’s life would prove the forfeit. With the whole of the Kent constabulary in a ferment of activity there was little doubt that they would discover the new base within the next half hour. A fleet of airplanes might land at a quiet spot unobserved upon a normal night, but they could not do so with hundreds of police out on the watch for them all over the county. Should he wait until news came in, over the humming telephone wires, ns to which Mermaid Tavern or hotel was the focus for the airplane landing? Or should he make direct for Quex Park on the assumption that the Limper was lying and Lord Gavin had left Sabine there ? The more he thought of it the more certain it seemed that if Gavin Fortescue had made his last throw that night he would surely have already arranged to leave the country by one of the returning planes himself; therefore he would have taken Sabine to the Mermaid, wherever that might be, with him. How long would the police take to find it? Half an hour, an hour perhaps. By that time it might be too late, or, if they were lucky enough to arrive before Sabine was murdered and Lord Gavin gone, she would be arrested with the others. Gregory saw clearly now that, somehow, he must find out where the Mermaid was and not only get there, but get there before the police. He glanced at Wells. “Can you spare me a moment outside?” The Inspector nodded and followed him from the cottage into the dark, now silent, night. “Listen,” said Gregory. “I want you to do something for me.” “What?" asked Wells cautiously. “I want you to call your chaps out here and remain with them while I have a word alone with the Limper." “Why?” "Never mind why. You remember the night I jumped out of your plane, risking my neck with that blasted parachute. You promised then you’d give me a break later if I needed it and a few minutes private conversation with the Limper isn’t much to ask.” “You win,” smiled Wells. “I’ll call the boys out and post them by the windows. In you go.” A moment later Gregory was facing the Limper across the kitchen table. Rudd stood, a silent spectator, in the corner. "Now,” said Gregory grimly, “you’re going to tell me the place indicated by that phrase ‘sea- ' nymphs hourly ring his knell.’ I’ve got no time to waste—so be quick about it.” “The hell 1 am!” the Limper sneered. . Gregory pulled the table to one side. “Rudd, you’ll stay where you are,” he said quietly, “and see fair play.” Next second his left fist shot : out and caught the Limper in the stomach. The Limper had already raised his arms to guard his face. He doubled up under the unexpected blow. Gregory’s right fist jerked like a piston and catching him on the ear sent him sprawling to “Now, are you going fc talk?” rasped Gregory, standing over him. The Limper pulled himself up on to his hands and knees. “You devil,” he croaked, “I won’t. You can do your damnedest.” Gregory seized him by the collar of his jacket and threw him over on his face. “All right.” he muttered. “Rudd, get me that clothes line.” Rudd jumped to obey. In spite of the Limper’s renewed struggles they soon had his wrists tied tightly together behind his back with one I end of the stout cord. Then, between them, they hauled his heavy body across the floor. “Take the other end of the line and put it over that big hook on the door,” Gregory ordered Rudd. “This bird is going to squeal if I have to break both his arms to make him do it” (To Be Continued) Cot>rrt«ht. lIST. bl King fulu.-u StndloU.
