The Seaforth News, 1956-08-16, Page 3} oneymooners Fooled Guests Confetti and rose -petals show - wed one of the smartest streets n the West End of London as the handsome young engineer trove his bride away on their secret honeymoon. Blithely the wedding guests attached the us - ad "Just Married" placard to he car—but this time the laugh was on them. Preparations for the lavish wedding reception — held in a luxury flat leased by the groom's arm — had given the bridal pair en idea. Quietly they rented a banished flat in the same buil- ding. While the guests were gues- sing where they hacl gone on their honeymoon, the happy couple drove around the block end re-entered by a side door. Their friends little realized that Use newlyweds were next door but one in their first married home! New -style honeymoons have anderlined June bride news. In Glasgow kind-hearted Margaret Milsom cancelled her honey- moon travel plans and sent her widowed elder sister on a much- needed holiday instead. Straight from the church, tiIargaret and her husband drove to the sister's house and began looking after the two babies. "It will help us make up our minds," said Margaret, "whether we're ready yet for bairns of our own." In the same way a Cobham girl went straight home after her wedding and her eighty- year-old parents went off in the bridal car to catch a train for their second honeymoon. Youth club leader Angus Mc- Gill faced a honeymoon dilemma when he fell in love with pretty Barbara Clift. He had promised his club members a coach trip to the Riviera and he didn't want to disappoint the boys and girls. Happily ,his wife agreed to share the honeymoon with the club members, and so thirty- three youngsters went to the South of France with them! Yet undoubtedly the most un- usual honeymoon of the year will be that of blonde Josey Glanville. She and her husband, tall and handsome John Lowe, will share their bridal suite aboard ship with thirteen other people when they sail later this year. Josey and John are to cross the Atlantis in the replica of the Mayflower which has been built in Devon as a goodwill gift to the United States. The original Mayflower took the Pilgrim Fathers to America in 1820 and the discomforts of sea travel in the frail 180 -ton craft probably have not been re- peated for 300 years. The pas- sengers won't have separate cabins, for the pilgrims didn't. To complete the strangeness of the honeymoon atmosphere, Josey will wear typical Puritan attire—a long woollen gown. NO RISK 'Well," said an insurance agent to newly-wed Angus, "now that you're married I'm sure you'll want to insure your life." "Awa' wi' ye," replied Angus. "She's no' that dangerous." !`OWER ASH TRAY — Latest .gad- pet for the car dashboard Is a vacuum abh tray that snatches away discarded cigaret stubs,. extinguishes their fire and vac- oum-pace, them for future ,dis- posal.

MAN BITES DOG—Here's that news -making feller you've heard about all your life. In this case, he's year-old Alton ("Fearless") Castel. Visiting in Chicago, he thinks nothing of nipping the ear of his host's pet boxer. The pooch didn't mind. After Twenty Years—The Pay -Off A Complete Story by Capt. Frank E. Shaw "CALL it agripultural mach- inery," suggested the shifty - eyed man. Captain Simon Carley nodded. "Where for?" he asked. Then whistled softly as the port of delivery was mentioned. Twenty years of smuggling had robbed Carley of his con- science. He asked what the suggested fee might be, nodded when the handsome figure was mentioned. The Stormy Petrel was well - named. She was a throw -out of the war: had been a fast mine -layer; and Carley's eng- ineer was a genius. Between them they'd renewed her into something phenomenal. Some of the turbulent Cen- tral American republics owed government changes to the com- ings and goings of the Petrel in the past. It was a sort of Piracy, but it paid. And Carley was ambitious; not so much for himself, but for his son, Dick, a lad of whom all who knew him had the highest opinion. "He'll go far—be a credit to you," was the music Carley liked to hear. "Nothing he can't reach out for." And young Dick had had the saucy temerity to fall in love with a girl of whom Simon Carley thoroughly ap- proved. She was an earl's daughter; a fine girl. A man needed money tb keep such a girl in the state to which she had been accustomed. Carley went on malting money, stacking it up, with that desirable end in view. Dick was ambitius too; that's how he came in contact with Lady Aileen. He cut quite a dash in society. Simon Carley oversaw the loading of his ship with a sense of satisfaction. It was a night- time job, naturally. Even in such a free port as Tangier, men didn't handle contraband openly. Though the packing cases were labelled Agricultural Machin- ery, anyone with half an eye could guess their contents were of a less harmless quality. "All snug -oh?" asked the man with the shifty eyes, whom Carley knew for a go-between representing powerful interests. "Right as rain. Cash down of course?" That was always a part of every such clandestine bargain. Nobody trusted any- body else in this ui,�iderworld of intrigue. The negotiator had a suspicious bulge under his arm- pit. But Carley carried his gun even handier—up his sleeve; a neat little automatic like a toy that could yet account for seven if it came to a showdown. If •a man's hand made a sus- picious movement, that little "pistol dropped • like magic into a skilled hand, and blazed forth in a trice. "Sure!" said Mr. Hopolius. The money was tabled down, in U.S. notes of high value. Carley counted them swiftly, All cor- rect. And at the handling of this good money, he felt the old spinal tingle that another riot- ous adventure was afoot A couple more runs like this one meant that Dick could offer a .settlement on the girl of his choice, and that ought to clinch the deal, considering how pre- sent high tailation affected her noble sire. "We'll pull out at midnight," Simon Carley _ promised; and was as .good as his word. But the Petrel didn't advertise her departure. Tangier teemed with spies of one sort and another. * + .1 "Something's likely to hap- pen," laughed Lt-Comander Hibbertson, R.N., commanding H';M,S`. destroyer 'Yttria -rapid'. "Keep your eyes open, watch - keepers. Regular radar -watch." But there was a radar watch aboard the "Petrel" too. When- ever anything suspicious showed on the screen the skipper made quick calculations, stopping en- gines to do so. It was a kind of ghostly duel between two opposing forces. Better to run away than to risk detection and search! Carley enjoyed this blind man's buff recklessly; he had a feeling that he was gambling with fate for the small fortune that should put his son on vel- vet. That roll of American cur- rency was stowed away where even a customs man couldn't find it. If it came to a show- down he was quite ready to dump his cargo over the side— the cases were the size that could he easily handled; and they were ballasted with rocks that would sink them hurriedly. No need to worry! But he felt his stomach turn over when a sharp flash of light showed on his starboard quar- ter. It was quite a while be - the dull boom beat up against the light wind. If ever a signal to "Heave -to or I'll sink you!" challenged a man it was then. But the searching finger of light missed the 'Petrel'. She was already zigzagging smartly. The flash astern showed again, the dull echo boomed coaxingly through the ebony gloom. There was no moon; Carley knew his work, and had arranged the run for precisely this part of the month. But he heard the high pitched whine of a shell, which meant the pursuer was firing by radar, not by sight. "One of these damned up-to- the-minute fellows," he scoffed. to his Number One. "Give her the whole works!" The 'Petrel' began to fly; and the questing destroyer hadn't a look -in once her throttles were thrown wide open. It was an exultant victory for a man who dared to take a risk. Long before the first crack of dawn a light flickered ahead. Carley stopped engines, the 'Petrel' grew quiet as a wraith. In a Lapping stillness, row boats floated up like shadows, hooked on alongside, and the noiseless cargo -gear got busy. Case after case was winched up from the holds, swung out, received, Boat afted boat, laden gunwale deep, stole stealthily away. With the last parcel of cargo transhipped and receipts given and taken, the 'Petrel' smoothly turned about and ran at easy speed for a distant island Here she collected barrels of grapes and such -like truck. Her alibi established, she headed for open water and started her return to Tangier. All the destroyers in creation could find fault with her! One lean greyhound did hoist a flag signal demanding immediate halting; a trim naval lieutenant came aboard. Whatever his sus- picions might have been they had no foundation. He had a cask or two of harmless fruit opened for his inspection.

Oh, all right — clean bill. Be careful though— Then the Petrel' resumed her. placid voyage. "Where to this time?" asked Carley once he'd handed the re- ceipts aver to Kr. Hopolous. "Yankee cigarettes for Genoa," he was told. "We've got a tip to go cannily for a while." "Suits me." The pay wasn't so good, but far from negligible, and the risk enough to breed pleasurable excitement. Carley carried his earnings to an in- ternational bank, and remitted them home. He asked for let- ters, Only one awaited him— from his wife. It held scanty scanty news, except that Dick, having taken a good degree, still had to do his National Service. But Carley had a bit of in- fluence here and there,on ac- count of favours done, It would be all right; Dick would be a conscript, but he'd be taken care of. A nice cushy clerking job could be arranged as easy as winking. He wrote to var- ious addresses to that effect, and loaded up with contraband cig- arettes with a light heart, This time he had only the Italian coastguards to cope with, and they were easy. He ran the Petrel' clean into Genoa harbour under night's shadow, and daringly tied up at an ob- scure pier. His luck held good; three trips he made without so much as scratching his paint, "Care to try to flin a final load of agricultural stuff?" Mr. Hopolous asked in the Tangier hotel where a hardworking sea - skipper was entitled to take his ease after a job well done. "Don't mind a try. Same rate?" "Higher. Risk's increased so the pay-off's even bigger, They want the stuff so badly they'll give anything that's asked. How about a drink?" Hopolous clapped hands for the waiter and ordered lavishly. A man seated near -by threw down a well-read newspaper; and an outsize headline drew Carley's attention. He reached for the newspaper with a bit of a chuckle. "Cyprus Terrists Strike Again," he read. Then one name leaped out at him as if limned in fire. "One British soldier shot and killed, seven others wounded," he read, his mouth parching. " , . . , Private Richard Quentin Carley, Army Pay Corp., shot from behind while returning to camp. The assassin was fatally wounded by return fire. The weapon was probably part of a cargo landed a short while before... " "Something wrong?" asked Hopolous. "Everything!" gulped Carley, As his hand dropped from his glass the tiny automatic found his palm. He pulled the trigger; then slumped back in his chair. It didn't matter—what did any- thing matter with Dick mur- • dered almost by his own father's hand?—From "Tit -Bits'. CLASSIF1 AGENTS WANTED AVERTISING GO INTO BUSINESS for yourself.
