According to observers, Japanese naval strategy is aimed at preventing a United Nations* advance into the Orient The Jap fleet, it is pointed out, holds an impregnable body at water, the Sea of Japan. 240 miles long. Within this sea are Japan’s principal naval bases and her industrial cities. From the inland sea as a center, naval and air bases stretch out in a complex system. The Asia tic mainland is f Inged with islands from Kamchatka to the Malay peninsula. Japan bolds sovereignty over the upper two-thirds of the fringe. Mow JaI pan is seeking to add the lower third by conquering the whole Dutch East Indies.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN Dick stooped and picked up the guard's weapon. "A sub-machine gun!" he observed gleefully. "That lessens the odds. We've a chance now.” “Aye,” the squire said. "We’re a match for ten of them." He patted his shotgun lovingly. The constable, however, looked dubious. Shoving his revolver into the constable’s hand, Dick cautioned, “We've got to be careful. The girl's In there and wo can’t risk her life. I’ll go round back and get in some way. You watch the front Give mo five minutes I Then fire at the place. ’• “Right, * the Squire said. “Get going, my lad." He was grinning happily, Dick slid off into the pale darkncss of the woods and around the house, the machine gun cradled in his arm. It gave him a fine superior feeling. At the back he found a trellis leading to ths upper windows. That was it Up the trellis and in. You had an advantage being upstairs.

He was horribly afraid Brinda might be in the line of fire, but there was nothing to do except shoot it out. Squire May’s shotgun boomed dose beside him.

Dick looked around for the Squire, then remembered he had said something about a man getting away. He returned to the constable. The grenade fragment had richocheted before hitting him, and his only injury was a slight scalp wound. “ You're all right, man," be said. "Go, back and look after our prisoner." “Will Hi get casualty pay for this?” the constable wanted to know. “You’ll get a kick In the pants if you don’t snap into it!” Dick advised him not too sternly. Groaniogly, the constable struggled to his feet. "What became of the Squire?” Dick asked. " ’E went that way—’round the corner of the ’ouse. 'E was 'ot after a big ’un!” Dick hastened In the direction indicated. e e e The spy who had got away was the chief of Brinda’s captors. He was the one who had insisted throughout that the sensible thing to do was to kill her immediately. He was also the one who had locked her in the abandoned kitchen. When the firing started, he emptied his automatic, then leaped out a window, and dashed toward Brinda’s prison. He had a start on the Squire, and was safely inside before that doughty ’chutist hunter hove Into view. Locking the door behind him, the spy shoved a fresh clip into his automatic and looked about for Brinda. At the moment he had no mure sinister thought than to use her as a hostage or perhaps as a shield If the occasion arose. It took a moment for his eyes to become accustomed to the dark. Then he realized that she was no longer in the room. Furious and bewildered, he prowled about until he came to the disused dumbwaiter shaft.
