On a wharf in Patuxtown, Maryland, ex-Coloael Donald Colby, late A.D.C. to General Gonzalo Gutierrez, beats up Tod Ferguson, burly oysterman, for insulting Geneva Benet, daughter of Capt. Benet of the "Amerika." Ferguson was fired by Benet and infers someone was murdered on the ship. Later, Geneva confides in Colby that she had brought two men from Leonardtown to'work for her father. "They were afraid to stay but you wouldn't be," she says. A new look creeps into Colby's eyes. "Young lady," he demanded crisply, "shall we talk?" Geneva tells Colby that her father is in charge of a fleet of old liners laid up by the Shipping Board awaiting purchasers. It is impossible to get a watchman 6ince three men have disappeared. Colby takes the job. On the pier, the girl calls to the "Montlcello" on which she lives with her father. The ghostlike ships and eery atmosphere fill Colby with foreboding. CHAPTER IV "Mmticcllo, ahoy I" Again the .girl's voice echoed eerily over the! silent river. I "Ahoy!" came a faint answering hsil. "Be ashore in a minute." It was not one, but many minutes before a battered and unpainted rowboat drew up alongside at the oars a squat, thick bodied man with a prognathous :'aw, stiff and bushy black brows that grew into a single line. His eyes were keen and alert and openly studied the recruit. "So you got one man at least, Mis3 Geneva?" "Yes," the girl said briskly. "But he"3 not from Leonardtown he's from one of those oil boats. : "I'll sit aft," the girl called and dropped into the stern, there to sit staring ahead, her eyes bigger and more sombre than ever. It was when the deeply laden rowboat was perhaps half way out to the nearest of the ships that Don-1 aid Colby received his first shock. He was, with deep interest, studying the web of rusted cables securing the Monticello to the shorewhen, high overhead, sounded three sharp noises. Wapl Wdpl Wapl followed by a throat tearing cry. So nedolent of agony and mortal fear was it that Colby felt the hairs on the back of his neck lift as they had that time when a trio of Paraguayan vmtizos had come leaping into his quarters poising bloodied bayonets and very anxious to kill for the greater glory of la Republica. As though paralyzed, the oarsman paused in mid stroke and in the ensuing breathless silence water dripping from his oar blades made a pattering sound loud out of all proportion. "What what wa3 that?" he quavered. , .-"Three shots generally moan tliht somebody's getting hurt," Copy observed with macabre calm. "Oh, oh" the girl's bright hp3 writhed, a hand flashed up to her heart and she started violently. "Huiyy, Duttonl for God's sake hurry! , Maybe it's where was Father when veu canio away?" , The oarsman made no reply, only dug his stout aah blades deep into the steaming surface while Colby, snatehing up an extra pair of oars, quickly added his powerful strokes t make the little boat fairly fly thronjrh the silvery fog. "Where was Father?" tho girl once more anxiously demanded. . "Dunno I was in my cabin. Everything was quiet." With maeic suddenness a tower ing wall of steel loomed just ahead of the rowboat's prow. , "Back! Back hard!" screamed the girl and tho two rowers were only Taarely able to prevent a crash-i-ncr imnact. "Oh. Dutton, where's Vi ladder J . Quick! We must hurry." i "Ahov!" A voice hailed excit edly from the mist above. "Hurry ;upl Something's happened hear Hvnrt nhntsV' "Yes! Which way is the ladder?"

"To yer right hurry np!" A passengers' ladder materialized a moment later and while Colby quickly made fast the painter the girl sprang out and went running up the ladder with Dutton at her heels. On gaining the deck of the Monticello, otherwise known as the Kaiser Wilhelm II, Colby found his companions on a wide promenade deck along which many blank portholes stared at them like so many vacant eyes. ' ' "What's happened, Hartney?" ; demanded the girl in quivering accents. "Don't know," growled the watchman, "and I don't give a damn." Buttoning up a frayed pea-jacket the blunt featured individual started for the rail, "I've had enough of 1 ft J ft" rr '4 L i ' - ? Vi5- f"-"J

Hartney ttoust her roughly aside. "Lay off. i I wouldn't' stay no longer on thftse rotten floating coffins for five Hundred grand." '-'' - 'But you've trot to stay," tho girl insisted, her voice harsh with desperation. "At least until I we can get somebody to take your place." "Nothin' doin'!" Hartney started down xne jauuei, uui. vum a umw shot out, closed on the pea-jacket's collar and rounded the deserter up short. "Hartney, you're staying here," he announced quietly. "You've signed Articles." "Mebbe. But gettin' murdered wasn't in them," snarled the prisoner and aimed a stinging left at the tall stranger's head. Curiously enough that narrow dark head wasn't there, any more and it was Hartney who fell sprawling on the deck as a man is apt' when he catches s jolting uppercut under the chin. "Now maybe youll obey orders?" Colby with a tight smile jerked an automatic from the fallen man's coat pocket. "I'm borrowing this just in case you might get some unwise inspiration." "Now you and you, too," he included Dutton, "are going to do just what you're told to do and when you're told to do it. Get that?" "Oh hurry!

"Steady-get a hold on yourself," Colby flung at her and then transferred his attention to Hartney. "Where did you last see Captain Benet?" "He Howed he was gain' over on the Mount Vernon," mumbled the swarthy watchman. "Any other watchmen on the fleet?" "Yeh. , Hears oughtta be on the ( Amerika, and Norton on the George Washington.'
