At one end was a sort of closet ox clothes press. "Snooping?" He nodded as he opened the door. Inside bung a nondescript array of old clothes, In the back earner, on'the floor where it had been thrown, lay a girl's cloth hat. He picked it up, smoothed it out, then with a suppress- ed "Ouch!" .drew his hand away and 'loosened a pin caught in its •folds. "H'm—a diamond clasp—initials V. G.—Vira Gerard?"

He turned the camera over, saw the number "6," then deftly . nloaded it and .dropped the roll of film into his Goat pocket. There was a step on the companion- way. Softly he closed the door, rolled the hat tghtly and stuffed it in his hip pocket under the tail of his coat. The party thawed a little bit as the ice in the shaker thawed. Finally Garrick took advantage of 'a lull in the conversation, "I may as well tell you just why we dropped in," he remarked casually, taking the diamond clasp from his pocket. "Is this by any chan.:e yours, Vira?,, Vira looked a: the clasp a moment, then gave a little scream, "My lin- ly for some minutes. "I think .. • looks like Greenport Harbor." w toted CHAPTER III. THE 11rSTERY CRAFT. Dick rejoined Garrick late in the afternoon in his rooms at the Nor10- evantuc Country Club. Garrick had been developing the,roll of films. "Whalt do you see there?" he asked Dick, holding up the strip. Dick turned toward the light and looked carefully. "A boat.
