SYNOPBI* Fifty years sgo, Captain ”Dynamite" Danny O'Moore, master of the sealer, “Glory of the West.” was tn love with Jacqueline Reynall, daughter of Captain Ramps Reynall, terror of Alaska seal poachere, A lovers* quarrel parted them and, ehortly after. Reynall caught “Dynamite” red-handed, his ship's hold full of seal pelts. O'Moore always felt thst Jacqueline betreyed him. She was the only one who coul d have copied hie cherts of the coastline showing his hide-outs. “The Glory** was sold at Government auction. "Dynamite" never told anyone about it, not even hie lovely granddaughter, Sondra, for whom be now manages “O’Moore Seinere, Ltd.”, one of Alaska's leading fisheries. A strange concern, Baranov Packers, has sn option to tske over the late John Batee* contract for O'Moore's complete catch. It must be exercised by 11 A. M. the next day and a 330,000 advance paid. Kemp Starbuck, young president of American Packers, and an admirer of Sondra, is also anxious to get the fish. "Dynamite" disapproves of Kemp’s outfit because it employe too many orientate. He believes Japan is charting the Alaskan coastline under the guise of "fishing." So O’Moore is determined that no one but Uncle Sam will get bio maps. From his sky-top home, "Echo House," the veteran watches a sudden spurt of activity on the waterfront. Suddenly, hie heart skips a beat, for there was the battered hulk of his old command, "The Glory," converted into a floating cannery, being towed to the Batee wharf. The Baranov Packers I How dare they do that to Ha ship? "Dynamite” summons the captain of the barge, who turns out to be Jean Reypall, foster son of Jacqueline and Sondra's childhood playmate. What disillusionment for Sondra to learn the man of her dreams was the one who had debased her grandfather’s beloved "Glory”! O'Moore's fury knows no bounds when ho discovers Jacqueline owns Baranov Packers! He believes she has brought back bis ship to taunt him. CHAPTER NINE "Hold on, O’Moore! Aunt Jack’s never said a word to me about your ancient quarrel. But I know this—you're being unjust to her. She— ■ "Look ye here. Reynall. Ones I took a knife in the baek from your aunt and never lifted me hand. Now ehe comes, and you with her, to knife me again. But no one ever dealt Dan O’Moore a second blow without gettin* one in return. I pay me debts in full and in the same coin I receive, I—• "Let me explain, Captain. I plan to— " "Drat your plana I’ve seen too much of ’em alresdy—moored down yonder at the Bates dock. Here's me last word to ye and your sculpin tribe: Te*ll pack,no fi-h aboard the Olorv of tho Woot if I car, prevent it And lean! Ye came, thinkin* ye had me trirked and helpless; but, by Cutwax, ’tie a fight ye have on your nds now. Take that word back to Jacqueline Reynall. Tell her when ahe's had enough—when she eomes beggin’ me for peaee—l’ll buy the Glory from her. And 111 pay her enough to take herself far away from here. The farther away, the better." Reynall bent forward, hands clenched, eyes smoldering in hia taut face. He spoke in a cold, level tone that indicated a tremendous effort at self-control. “O’Moore, my company has an optional contract with O'Moore Seiners. That contract binds you to furnish us with fish this season. Tomorrow morning, Monday, I shall be here tq exercise that option before it expires. I shall hold rm to the letter of that contract if have to call in the marshal to tie up every vessel in your fleet with a libel action. I prefer peaee. but since I you—" ’ < “Belay!” The Captain banged the ' table with a force that set the model ; of the Glory shivering in its eradle. *1 tel! ye ye’ll not get so much as a i aeala from one of me neta to foul the i deck of tbe Glory.

"Get out!" O’Moore's voice rose to a quarter-deck roar. Sondra darted to Reynall and tugged at bis sleeve. "Please, oh. please go now," she whispered, pulling him toward the door. He went as far as the threshold, then turned. "Depend on this. Captain," he said, through thinneddown lips: "I shall be here at eleven tomorrow morning with the advance payment to seal our contract. Good day, sir." Sondra was leading the way downstairs when Jean Reynall overtook her on the first landing and placed a detaining hand on her arm. “Sondra!" She paused and faced him, coldly disapproving. “I'm sorry you had to witness my run-in with the Captain," he said. "But ! feel that I can rely on you to understand my position, and I hope you'll help me clear up this

Hie eye* held a giad, wondering light The silence grew magnetic with their growing consciousness of each other’s nearness. “Sondra." He drew In a long, unsteady breath. "Little stormyeyed one. Grownup. Beautiful. But —with the same redheaded temper." His low voice was a caress, halftender, half-humorous. She fought against its spell, yet she lingered wanting to hear more, and despising herself for her weakness. "Tell me, honestly, Sondra, were yon too young to remember how j used to paddle offshore to talk to you when you stood In the old cupola? Have 1 stayed away so long that you’ve forgotten me—and all those hours I've so treasured?” The knowledge that he, too, remembered those days quickened Send re's heartbeats so that she found it difficult to keep her voice iced with reserve. ”1 have no mema for trivialitiee," she said. "Now, 1 your hand from my arm, and yourself out of this bouse.” "She has no memory for trivialities." He apostrophized tbe handsome portrait of Commander Michael Karmanovs on the wall at Sondra's back. “Do you advise giving her something she will remember? Oh, you do?"
