Secret Voyage

By JOSEPH L. CHADWICK

CHAPTER TWELVE JIN'S head reeled. A curious numbness stole through the whole of his strong body. He could feel the water, though, seeping in through his rubber suit because of the falling air pressure. He won. dered, in a vague way, if hed suffocate or drown first. He tried to call Curly on the phone, but his voice was only a thick weak sound and the busing in the earphones told him nobody was listening. His tongue was a thick wad in his mouth, his eyes had weights on them, and his nose began to bleed. His lunge felt caving in. This, then, was what the end was like, 240 feet down. It was all pain and horror, then blackness Itke this. . . . ” ” THERE was something solid under him when he came to. He opened aching eyes and found himself in his eabin, lying on his bunk, with someone sitting silently beside him. He turmed his head toward the man, It was the man of the careful voice and careless money. He grinned, a friendly sort of grin, without malice. “Have a drink, Mallory baby, and youll be all right.” A bottle was held to Jim's lips. The liquor burned his throat. He lay awhile, then said hoarsely, “So we meet again, Halloran®” “Right. And under difierent circumstances. This tme, old man, IT do the talking. My crew has yours covered with guns that will shoot. We had to knock out that black boy and the bald guy and lock _ them in the fo'eastle. The others didn’t want trouble. You're a screwy guy, Mallory, going after a million in gold unarmed. Did you underestimate me?” “Not that,” Jim sald. He sat up, even though hi§ head spun. “I knew you were tough and smart. You see, I didn't know about the gold.” “You didn't? Shen Forbes was right. He said you only wanted to salvage the Sonora’s non-existent cargo, but I didnt believe it. I thought you had wind of the gold from the girl” “From what girl?” “Hammonds secretary. She had been doing a lot of running after you back at Miami Beach.” “Did she know about the gold?” “Maybe, and maybe not. I think she suspected something. You see, after the Sonora was lost she asked a lot of questions of the Coast Guard. They couldn't tell her anything, so she wrote to the couple of white men among the crew. But they had been pald a bonus to keep quiet, and they stuck to their story that the Sonora went down in a storm.” Jim said, with you?” Halloran lpoked suprised. “No. She was trying to find out what happened to the Sonora because of me. You see, she and I were engaged.”

up to het. Don’t worry about her.” “Well, thanks” Halloran said. “And thanks for leading me to the Sonora. I'm going to lock you in here now, and go down after the gold.” “Tell ‘me one thing, Halloran. Where did the gold come from?®” “The Sonora had a redezvous at sea with a Nazi blockade runner. I was entrusted with the gold consigned for a ‘secret agent in Central America, It was to be used for fifth column activity, and it probably had been stolen in France or Belgium. Forbes and I"—Halloran paused to grin—“decided it was our pa‘riotic duty to
