YU’AN HEE SEE LAUGHS ) .35 ROHMER

CHAPTER Xll—Continued eSO But the rathole was empty, from moldy, decaying roof, to stinking cellars! The only person, other than Eileen, found on the premises was Aswami Pasha, his jugular pierced by curving teeth, his blood pumping out from those ghastly wounds. And Haig thought he detected a faint smell of musk, . ~ . S ® ® A ® ® % In a long, low hangar, which from above (from an airplane, for example) resembled no more than a mound in the desert, the German U-boat bought for breaking-up purposes by an agent of Yu’an Hee See three years before, and “lost” owing to the parting of a tow-rope on her way from the Australian yards, lay under floodlights suspended from the roof. ‘ Two streams of negroes poured, like black ants, up and down her gangway, the upstream laden with small, heavy boxes, the downstream empty-handed. Two million pounds in minted money was thus transferred from the dhow at anchor in the nearby harbor to the hidden submarine. . On the light-flooded wharf, Doctor Qestler, excited by many glasses of champagne, grasped the arm of Maclles as the Scot came down the gangway. “T tell you, Mac,” said the doctor hoarsely, “she is overloaded; Ha?” Maclles broke away from the detaining hand. : But the Austrian physician was not without supporters. Len Chow, second-in-command of the U-boat, stood by him. “I agree with the doctor,” he said in his monotonous tones, “that only two tons should be shipped.” “Go to h—1!” He brushed Len Chow aside and passed on. : An Arab boy came running. A launch from the gunboat was heading fov.the Jetty. . ... “There goes the last five thousand,” said the Wasp; and, raising his voice: “All aboard!” he cried. “Do ye sail?’ Maclles asked Doctor Oestler. The Austrian thought : “Money opens many doors, ha? There was no escape if he remained ashore. The Marquis and the Pasha plainly had deserted the sinking ship, and the danger must have been great, ha?—since they had left two millions of minted money behind them?” Doctor Oestler nodded briefly and walked »p the gangway, followed by Maclles and Len Chow. They slipped out to the open sea. Oestler, from the forward conning tower, saw the threatening gray lines of H M, S, Panther lylng half a mile outside the reef. Len Chow gave the order to submerge. Only through the periscope did that doomful shape reglaln -visible. They sank lower. Doctor Oestler ran down a cramped irom ladder. He stumbled and clutched. “They can never see the periscope!” he cried. “Why do we submerge so deep?”’ . .. . The whole fabric of the underwater craft shook suddenly and quivered. (HE A e “Mac!” Oestler screamed, desperately—“ Chow ! Gott! . .. We're aground !” The Scotsman stopped his ~then raised to shouting pitch. “Mr. Len Chow—ye were right in| a' ye saldl Were overloaded.| w can raise us to it, We're burigd ki '@l;fz: fﬁ@:—?@ .'

The female inhabitants, huddled in cushioned corners, were staring wide-eyed at the intruders. Lieutenant Markham pressed on through more and more extravagant apartments . . . and suddenly found muscular arms about his neck and tearful dark eyes looking up into his own! “Oh, thank God, I see you!” cried Celeste; *“But tell me quickly—is she safe?
