When Scott had turned around and headed up .and over the hill he looked side­ ward at 'Naar, She was rubbing her chin with the back of her hand. Scott asked: hie?” Naar had her mine/' she said “What about was flat, disarming. "Suppose a boat “It isn't likely. I boat since I’ve been have to take that chauce.” Naar was silent for a long, dam­ pening moment. Then she spoke softly: “You are going to loosen that bow rope and allow the boat to be drawn out when the U-boat snags the line?” “That’s the idea I had. The mine, if we are lucky, may strike the sub­ marine’s hull. That is why I placed it about a quarter way out.” “But won’t that be dangerous—I mean, the explosion will be close, won’t it?" “Perhaps." Scott's tone was dry. Naar turned fully toward him then. “I don’t want you to do that.” Scott forced his thoughts awaj from what her words meant. He asked; “Why not? And, incidentally, haven’t you forgotten that agree­ ment of ours?" Naar ignored Scott’s second ques­ tion. Instead she said: “The ex­ plosion—you might be killed!” Scott grinned mirthlessly. “You have been telling me that I should do my part—now I have a chance. You aren’t very consistent.” Naar made an impatient gesture. “But I don’t mean that you should kill yourself." Scott grunted, help it.” He Naur's anxiety plunged over the side of the boat. That, added to her words now, shook him completely. “Perhaps we won't have to about that," Naar looked away from They were silent as Scott the wheel sharply around a corner. He eased his foot from the accelerator. Then they were around the bend and fully on an automo­ bile that was broadside across the road, completely blocking the way. Scott snapped his foot to the brake pedal, hitting it hard. The automobile skidded heavy cloud of dust air. Scott murmured I say we wouldn’t about the boat? was halfway through the door when he froze. His hard eyes came up and leveled upon the black auto­ matic that was pointed toward his ■chest. The man stepped from the thick bushes. He was big and bulky and familiar. His harsh voice rasped threateningly: “Don’t move!" Scott knew then what had hap­ pened. The two thugs had really followed Naar. They were the ones to whom the submarine had sig­ naled. Where they had hidden “last night, Scott could not decide. The man before him was the larger of the duo. Scott wondered where the other, smaller man was. His question was answered by a hard steely voice from the other side of the automobile. “Step out, Miss O’Neil.” There was a pause. “Around to the other side." Paul," the big man said softly, meaningly, “these two know too lifted their automatics, silght movement behind the men caught Scott’s eye, The was edging open, A man’s loomed in the darkness and was a harsh, brutal, “Killers!” the door slammed back and Cortell was shuffling forward.

The deadly course of a bullet swished in the air, He sprawled for an instant across Kurt’s inert body. He looked up and was just in time to see Tom Cortell fold the other spy in a powerful, crushing bear-hold. Slowly-—ever slowly, lie bent his adversary back­ ward until it seemed that the man’s back would snap. There was an­ other sharp report, but this time the bullet crashed into the ceiling.

Kurt motioned with the automa­ tic. “Get Inside to the genially, his glitted eyes giving his tones the lie, “ ' it is heard a conversation. It is her life or ours. As for you—” he waved ! the gun toward Scott—“we do not know you, or how you happened to interfere except that you are here and that is enough.” Scott’s eyes did not waver. He murmured: “So you two were to meet the U-boat here last night.” The shot struck centre. Both men stiffened. Kurt’s crouched slightly hard bark. “It whirled upon his told you that our he cried triumphantly. The man, Paul, advanced slowly and stood before Scott. His voice was demanding. “You saw the sub­ marine?" “It was like a duck on ice." “And there was a message?” Paul’s thin mouth was working savagely. Scott had the thought Hay CpDOcil Hay Council met on Monday June 5th at 2 p.m, in the Township Hall as a Court of Revision to consider appeals against the 1944 Assessment Roh of the Township of Hay.

It was taken to the University on Thursday, June 8, 1944, and placed in charge of Wilfred Jury, curator of the museum.
