SECRET VOYAGE
BY JOSEPH L. CHADWICK
CHAPTER I
The boat lay with a list to
starboard at ten fathoms. Jim
Mallory walked cumbersomely
around it, careful not to foul his
lines in the masts, and peered
through the glass of his diving
helmet at the hole in the bow.
It didn't look like much of a job
to raise. It looked like a little
easy money for the Ajax Salvage
Company.
From above, Curly Bates' voice
came over the telephone in an
incoherent nutter. Jim Mallory
replied, "Yeah, I found her,"
Curly's voice, distinct now, said
"Shut up, you!"
Men didn't talk like that to
Jiim Mallory; certainly not one
of his crew. Astonished, he de -
mended, "What?" And Curly's
voice was instantly apologetic.
"Not you, Spike. I was talking
to—".
Jim Mallory had a quick hunch,
a gripping suspicion. "Listen,"
he said, "haul. Pie up". He was
a man who always played
hunches.
He heard Curly shout an order,
he felt his lines pu11 taut, and
slowly he began to rise through
water that was green and cry-
stalline. He saw the tug's black
bottom, then reached the Jacob's
ladder. He climbed into the
bright Florida sunlight.
Blacksheep unbolted and re-
moved the iron helmet. Black -
sheep was grinning, his teeth
shining like ivory in the ebony
of his face.
"Boss, we done got comp'ny.
Sure 'nought"
"So I feared," Jim Mallory
said, and calve aboard. His eyes
ran along deck to where the girl
sat amidship, and halted there on
her for a moment, narrowing.
lie was surprised that it was a
girl. He hadn't expected them
to put a girl onto him. But it
was clever. Where bribes and
threats won't work, use a woman.

- cigaret between Jim. Mallory's
- lips and held a match. Curly was
a stooped little man of 55, much
battered by life. He was very
bald. His eyes were worried.
"They've put a dame onto you,
Spike."
"Yeah."
"I don't like it a little bit.
She's smooth as silk."
"I'll watch my step," Jim Mal-
lory said.
He came out of the diving
suit, and he was big and brown
and solid. He moved with swift
ease. Beneath a tight sweater
his shoulders and chest rippled
with corded muscles. He ignored
the girl.
"She's down there," he said to
Curly. "We'll get some grapnels
on her tomorrow, and some pon-
toons. She'll come up like a
cork."
"Shall I drop a buoy over be-
fore we ship anchor?" •
"You may as well."
.The girl rose from the bul-
wark, drawing Jim Mallory's eyes.
She was in a green swine suit,
and her skin was a smooth brown.
Her rubber eau was in her hand
and, Jini Mallory thought, that
was the place for it. You wanted
to see her hair. It was thick and
tousled, and the sunlight made it
look like bright copper. Her eyes
were wide and brown, with golden
flecks. With her face and figure,
Jim decided, you had the right
sort to bait a man.
He spoke with the cigaret be-
tween his lips, saying, "Hello,
hello," in a cautious, offhand
manner.
"Hello". The girl's voice was
nicely husky. "Who is SHE?"
"A sport cruiser named Han-
nah that some landlubber let
founder."
"Quite a beauty, I suppose.
With trim lines. Or is she some-
thing else again?"
Jinn smiled. warily. He said,
"I don't know you. Should I?"
"I don't think so. The name
is Mary Lassen. I'm just a visi-
tor, a sightseer aboard. It was
quite a swim from shore. How
deep is it here?"
"Six fathoms."
"In English, I mean."
"About 36 feet."
"Deep enough to drown in,"
Mary Larsen said, shivering a
little.
Jini Mallory glanced shore-
ward. The white paha-fringed
beach was pretty far. The man
who had sent her was a fool; he
must be paying her well. Jim
was about to tell her to clean
out and swim back when Black-
sheep called from the galley.
"Grub, Spike sura." And that
gave him an idea. He might
learn something from her.
He said. 'Flat with us? It'll
..re ''h .1. on, bread and
coffee. If you can take it."
•i,.n lila; it. 'Thanks,"
She followed him down into the
tug's crowded cabin. He gave
her a sweater to cover her bare
shoulders. She thanked him with
a smile, It was a nice, waren
and :friendly smile, and he took
it and looked away.
Curly came in, sat down, and.
wo]fed the food Blacksheep serv-
ed. Curly didn't like women
aboard ship and sulked with re-
sentment. Blacksheep, however,
was pleased, He'd opened a can
of peaches for the visitor. He
hovered about for a time,. then
reluctantly went • back to the
galley.
The gill said, "1 didn't know
they caste so --colorful."
"Oh, Blacksheep is a Cayman,"
Jim Mallory 'said. "Nice fellow,
llie sweet dispositicalt conic% fret

et the girl—but he can be tough."
She missed the point of that,
and asked, "Is his name really
that?"
"So he claims."
Tim started to eat, widening'
the girl with covert glances.. She
wasn't tough; Wee was definitely
the opposite, and there was Intel-
li);'esnce in her eyes. Ile began
to think that she wasn't • just
another girl. He was surpeised
that such :a gild was mixed up in
this thing. It peovecl what h(' -
had suspected --that the thing wad.
plenty big.
She ate as he liked to see peo-
ple eat, even though the food
wasn't much. She was still eat-
ing after he was, finished, and
after Curly Bates had left the
cabin. She caught Curiy's sour
look as he went to deck.
"He doesn't like me," she said,
"anti you don't either."
"What makes you think that
I don't?"
"Your eyes do a narrowing act
every time you look at me. It
makes ane squirm. It's discon-
certing."
• She didn't seen offended. She
finished her coffee and sat back
to watch Jim as he filled his
pie. A smile came and went on
her lips. She turned frowningly
sober, as if she just remembered
she hadn't come aboard solely to
eat his food.
She • said: "Spike, could I ask
you a question'?"
He took the unlighted pipe
from his mouth. , His eyes
grew wary. He knew what the
question would be. He had been
approached before, two weeks
ago, by a man who had offered ..
him a bribe. The amount of the
bribe had been doubled later,
over, the telephone, and then two
days ago a lean had phoned and
threatened him. He could stand
off bribes and threats, 'and this
girl too. He knew the ship's lo-
cation but he wasn't going to re-
veal it—until he learned why that
sunken ship was so important.
"You can .ask," he said, "but
you won't be answered. I know
your little game, my dear, and
it won't work. Go back to the
man who pays you and tell him
he'll have to try more than a
pretty face."
He saw how startled she looked,
her eyes widening and her lips
quivering.. She gripped the edge
of the table as if to brace herself.
"I wanted to ask a civil ques-
tion," she said. "1 suppose a
civil answer was too much to ex-
pect from a member of a tug's
crew. From a diver who fancies
himself quite a tough fellow."
She threw off the borrowed
sweater and started to rise. Jini
:Mallory reached out and gripped
her wrist. He jerked her back
into the chair. Keeping his grit)
on her arm; he could .feel her
trembling with anger. He'd had
a sudden inspiration. She didn't
know Spike was Jim Mallory, it
seemed, and so maybe Spike
could play her game and learn
something.
"Maybe you bad better talk,"
he said. "Bo or, talk, I like
the sound of your voice. Who
sent you here, baby?"
But he saw by the fury in her
eyes that she wouldn't talk.

Pemmican Ration
Meets Emergency
Carried In All Lifeboats in
Britain's Merchant Navy
Eskimos and trappers of the
frozen north who ate their dried
strips of caribou meat and pem-
mican have passed on the idea
of this highly concentrated form
of food to save shipwrecked sail-
ors from starvation, says The
Brockville Recorder and Times.
All lifeboats in Britain's mer-
chant navy are now equipped with
nourishing compact foods, among
them this concentrated mixture of
beef extracts of high calorific
value. It is, of course, a much
more scientific product than the
pemmican of Fenimore Cooper,
being a beef extract with a high
fat content.
Each man is supplied with
fourteen ounces of it, enough for
a fortnight. One-third of an
ounce; taken with other concent-
rated foods now forming part of
the equipment in ships' lifeboats,
will make a meal for one maxi,
and special measuring spoons are
supplied with which the extract
is spread on the new type of ship's
biscuit.
Great explorers of the past
have carried this highly concent-
rated food on their expeditions.
Supplies of it went north with
Neilsen, and south with Shackle-
ton and Scott; it was used by the
Mount Everest climbers and the
British airmen who made the first
attempt to fly. around the world;
as well as in the 1933 Greenland
Expedition, the Washburn ,Expe-
ditioi, in 1939, the British Cana-
dian Arctic Expedition, the Brit-
ish Graham Land Expedition and
the British Expedition to Green-
land.
The new pemmican is also being
widely used by Britain's allies, and
the makers are busily coping with
a very large wartime demand.
The floor area of the Capitol at
Washington is about 14 acres.

Adventures In
Economy
The homemaker going to mar-
ket with her basket over her arm
to seek health and nourishment
for her family leas probably fewer
coins in her purse than last year.
Swollen budgets are a challenge
to her ingenuity for it takes
careful planning and clever man-
ipulation to arrange wholesome
but attractive meals when dollars
are scarce.
Wise choice must be made, es
one ponders before attractive
fruits and vegetables. The quart
of milk allowed for each child
need not all be fresh milk; evap-
orated milk will do for many
things in cooking. Cereals are of
the least expensive foods. They
furnish a large supply of energy
for the amount of money invest-
ed. Whole grain cereals are also
a source of minerals, vitamins
and bulk, and are necessary when
the amount of fresh fruits and
vegetables has to be decreased.
From the standpoint of food
value, fruits and vegetables are
very similar. Vegetables may be
made to serve double duty. Raw
cabbage is a good source of Vita-
min C. Oranges, onions, turnips,
parsnips and carrots are all ex-
cellent sources of food value and
minerals.
Dried fruits, peas and beans
are just as nourising as fresh ones
and are usually cheaper. Also
they cost less in bulk than in
fancy packaged varieties. Care
should be taken to supply bulk
in the form of whole grain cer-
eals and the cheaper raw veget-
ables.
Bananas are one of the most
nutritious fruits and when fully
ripe are easily digested by old
and young.
Baked Onions
For baking onions, choose a
large mild -flavored variety. Cut
the onions in half crosswise and
simmer in slightly salted water
until about half done. Lift the
onions out and arrange in a bak-
ing dish (if they do not stand up
easily, they may be baked in muf-
fin tins), Remove the centres
without disturbing the outer
layers. Chop the onion centres
and add to the stuffing described
below. Fill the onion shells with
this mixture; cover and bake in
a moderate oven for about one-
half hour, or until the onions are
tender. Remove the cover from
the baking dish during the last
of the cooking so that the onions
will brown well on top.
Stuffing for Four Onions
1 tablespoon butter or other fat
Si teaspoon savory seasoning
Onions from centres, chopped
1!f pound ground meat (may be
hamburger, chopped bacon or
leftovers)

The, last passenger car until the
war is over was completed a few
(lays ago at General Motors plant,
Oshawa. There are probably no
passenger automobiles being made
in Canada. today. Very near the
sante situation exists in the Unit-
ed States. This creates an econ-
omlc problem for automobile deal-
ers and salesmen and far the ser-
vice stations. Their only conso-
lation is that there will be more
repair work on cars while the war
is on, and that after the war there
will be an unprecedented boom in
the auto business. These restric-
tions are necessary, however, to
enable us to win the war. Here are
some facts which the united States
War Productions Boards asks the
public to note:
For every 24 autos we are not
making this year we save steel
and rubber enough for a single
27 -ton medium tank.
For each automobile we are not
making this year we save enough
tin to coat 1,000 cans in which
to put food for soldiers and sailors,
For every 700 automobiles we •
are not making this year we save

For eai+h automobile we are not

el steel for armor plate, proleuiales
