CHAPTER HI
SYNOPSIS
On board the Orizaba, Camilla
Dean, 'beautiful American girl, has
many admibrers, but she is most
interested in Ronald Barker, be-
cause the night before he comes
en board at Marseilles, she • over-
hears
verhears three men whispering out-
side her window that he must be
put out of the way before the
boat reaches Alexandmia. Barker
shows no'fear when she tells him
and learnsfrom the radio • opera:
for that a message has come to
Mohammed Ali, though no one
so named is on board. The first
letters of the words in the mes-
sage spell "Kerak." Camilla shows.
Barker a magazine article about
El Kerak, a soft of oriental Rob-
in Hood -and seeing the photo-
graphs again, recognizes Barker
as El Ke'rall. ,She, promises to
-keep his secret and seals her
promise with a kiss.
There was singing in the bar, Slim's
voice trying to do a sentimental bal-
lad. Then a kind of half 'silence, the
swish: of water alongside, the sounds•
of tie snip as she plodded steadily
into the East, the East that Slim held.
in 'such contempt, the East that Ron-
ald Barker had made so peculiarly his
own. •
Then the sound of whispering voic-
es, men's voices, beyond the shuffle-
board where she could lust °see their
shadows against one of the lifeboats.
Without planning, but moving in-
stinctively, she got into her evening
wrap again and went out into the cor-
ridor. Rallying her courage she ran
along the gangway past ,Ronald Bar-
ker's cabin and peered out on deck.
The shadows on the lifeboat were still
there, but the voices were more muf-
flled, than before. She stepped out on
deck and approached the group. They
turned their backs to her, huddled' to=
gether. and looked out to. sea. But
their conversation stopped when she
passed them, going on to the forward
end of the promenade. When she re-
turned they, had disappeared.
It was not until she ment into' the
corridor again that she realized the •
risk she had taken on the deserted
deck. And now her footsteps turned j
instinctively aft to the bar where
Slim's singing of "Mandalay," though i
hideous, •was masculine, friendly and
comforting.
-Camilla stood for a long moment
framed in the doorway before Slim
and Michael saw her. Then they rose
apologetically 'and asked her to join
them. But social conversation was
not in her mind. .'"Slim, I want you
to go up to the captain w'it'h me," she
said in a rush of words 'without pre-
amble. "You, too, Michael." '
•Ex•plainir g as they went, Caanilla
led• the way up the after companion:
ladder to the upper deck and so, for-
ward to the captain's quarters. Cap-
tain Simpson was just taking a •night-
cap with his first officer whose -watch
it was.
The two men bodied her in with her,,,
.�►.--... am..
few of the •passengers in various de-
grees of negligee assembled, asking
questions.
"Just some .drunken idiot having
target practice at one of our, electric
bulbs," Simpson said.
The excitement among the pass'en•
gers diminished as Camilla went with
Janet Priestly to talk- th1i gs over.
Slim and Michael followed the ever.
down :the corridor toward Ron-
ald Barker's stateroom. He met them
at the open door where some of his
neighbors stood inquiring. "No dam-
age, Mr. Barker?" the captain asked.
"None et all. Some silly ass out on
deck having target practice. Woke
me up, just the way it did the rest of
you."
"But it's your window that's, brok-
en, Mr. Barker."
Slim glanced out of the window and
examined a piece of window glass on
the carpet. It was a corrugated glass
that would let in light but not vision.
"Funny thing, Mu•. Barker," he said.
"How do you account for the fact that
splinters of the glass have fallen out-
board on the deck, instead ofinside
the cabin?"
"So they, have! Quite remarkable!
You mean that someone must have
fired from the inside of the state-
room."
"Sure thing," Slim said. "The im-
pact of a heavy bullet -it would take
some of the glass -with it." -.
'Captain Simpson sat on the .bed,
listening and watching. "You'd better
tell the whole story, Mr. Barker," he
said quietly.
So, omitting Camilla's share in the
adventure, Mr. Barker told what had
happened. He had been warned of a
possible attempt on his life aboard the
'Orizaba. He had. not believed in his
danger at first, but after he had turn-
ed in he found himself thinking how
easy it would be for someone on the
outside to take a pot '.shot at him
through the half open Frenph window
and get away before the alarm.'' •
Barker had switched .off the 'ceiling .
light, made as good an imitation as
he could. of a sleeping figure. in =his
bed by stuffing coverlid and under-
clothing under the blankets, then turn-
ed the bed light in its box so that it
was dim and lay on the lounge hid-
den from the deck outside. Perhaps
dels.inform,ant had been mistaken. He
was just getting drowsy when the sil-
houette of a head darkened the win-
dow. Then everything happened very
tepidly. , He wasn't sure that the sil-
houette Meant mischief until he saw
the .glint of light .on a gun barrel. He .
fired quickly, while the silhouette ,fir•
ed also, aiming at the huddle under -
the ?bedclothes. ' .•
Barker went over to the bed and
•showied where two bullets had gone
through the pillow and the neckband T
Of one of his best . shirts. "Pretty
close .that," he said.
•"Sure .thing," •Slim gasped, "And
.here's wherge the bullets went through
the head of the bed. ' That 'guy must
have • been practising in a shooting
gallery." .
"It's all my fault, Mr. Barker," Simp-
"You received a, wireless message yesterday, didn't you, a code mes-
sage which contained the words 'do g' and 'saguache'?"
companions and offered' a 'drink.
But Camilla was already, telling her
story in brief broken 'sentences - of
the conversation She had overheard a
few nights before, and of the belief
that Ronald 13arker was not safe a-
board bite Orizaba without a guard ov-
er his stateroom at night. From smil-
ing incredulity at ' 'her fears, they
found her sincerity at last compelling.
"You'd better, not let 'Mr. Barker
know. I don't want him to 'think I'fn
meddling in his affairs."
"Well, it's my affair more than
yours now, Miss Dean," Simpson
said. "I've got orders from the come
pang to put Mr. Barker safely ashore
at Alexandria and I'm going to do it."
Michael and Slim stood rather
sheepishly while Simpson gave the or-
ders. He" had hardly completecL therxr
when a muffled sound of shots and a
clatter of' broken @lass came from
,somewnhene below.
With the 'excitement of the group
gushing out of the captain's suite,
there were other sound's, calls front
.men of the watch ob..deek, as Chniil,
lff, betbi*een Mint and liliohael, tan
ciowti into the A dock saloon Where a'
son went, on apologetically. "Know-
ing about you I might have suspected
something in a s'hip's company made
up like this one is. "But 'I'm going
through it with a fine-tooth comb be-
fore we reach Naples." ..
Lt seemed necessary in the morning
for Camilla to get a new slant on the
events of the previous day so that her
thoughts .would make sense. An im-
portant' fact seemed to emerge. Sibs
had been' most earnestly embraced by
a man she had met only two days
before. Another 'important fact was
that she seemed to 'have- liked it.
She took her coffee in her room, and
after her bath found herself with a
new point of view which refused to.
accept Mr. Barker at ,his face value.
She was •glad when there was a clat-
ter at the door and Josephine_ Holio-
swel+' and Kitty Trimble rushed in.. All
night they had been ready to explode
with;curiosity,-•they said,. for the story
of Camilla's• tiart in the affair vo'ab all

"But who was .it wanted to kill hi'm

"You'll have to ask him."

"It,was none of my business.".
"Or our•st, I guess you mean. Oh
well -
A knock on the door and a steward
entered. "Captains camp 1 i m ents,
Miss Dean, and ff it's convenient for
you he would like to see you 'in his
office at once." •
The other girls rose as the steward
went out. Camilla slippedinto her
coat -and with a wave of her hand
hurried out toward the gangway to
the upper deck.
She was surprised to find a number
of people, who alrnost filled the cap-
tain's cabin. Her glance pasted over,
them quickly; passengers with whose
faces ,she was familiar. There were
Slim,' Michael, Ronald Barker, the
Russian = Stephanov, Asad, Torelli
and several. other.puen:- A steward, a
member ..of the crew apparently just
off duty, came inand stood near the
desk where Simpson sat with the pur-
ser, Mr. Disston.
"-Captain Simpson asked you up
here," Barker whispered, "on, the
chance that you might recognize some
of these men or their voices. It's
pretty hopeless, but he wants you just
to .sit in and' listen while they talk."
She nodded and, took the chair he of-
fered her.
The captain addressed them all. "I
invited you here because the room
stewards have reported that none of
you had turned in 'before half -past one
o'clolk last, night. It was after that
hour that a murder was attempted on
this ship. Someone sneaked along A
deck, in the darkness, and fired
through the port•of Mr. Barker's state-
room. Mr: Barker fired at the intru-
der from the sofa where he was ly-
ing, but in the dim light his shot'
went wild. •
Simpson went on, looking sternly
at the faces, of his visitors. "Now,
the captain of a ship," he continued,
"is also chief of police, judge, jury
a.nd public prosecutor. I've asked you
here to testify as to what you were
doing at that hour: Mr. . Asad, you
were on the promenade deck just be-
fore the occurrence. Will you 'stand
up and tell me if you heard the shots,
where you were, and what you slid?"
Joseph Asad smiled cheerfully.
"Gladly. I had come in• from a walk
on deck where I passed Miss Dean
and Mr. Barker. I stopped for a while
in the Saloon to find a book and then'
went down the main gangway- of B
deck and stood aft talking to the chief
engineer who had just come out of
his office to go below to the engine
room. It Was while I was talking to
the chief that the shots were fired.
Chief.Zimmerman, will, of course, ver-
ify
erify this statement if you wish it. We
coulds not ,tell where the shots came
from, but we went at once to the
saloon on A deck where a number of
other passengers were gathered. It
was there that 'I heard who had been
shot at. Aside from this I know noth-
ing about the affair.
"You have no idea as to who might
have ,attenapted to murder Mr. Bar-
ker?"
"Not the least idea," Asad finish-
ed.
Captain Simpson made a signal for
Mr. Asad to be seated and called on
Mr. Jose Serrano to testify.
Mr. Serrano was a small man with
a scrubby brown pointed beard.'
streaked with gray, which he stroked
affectionately.
"Mr. Serrano, you are an Assyrolo-
gist?" asked . Captain Simpson.
"Yes, sir," he said, in excellent
English. "I am on my° way east to
investigate some new discoveries in
the Tigris -Euphrates -valley."
"Did ,you ever hear of; Mr. Barker?"
"In a general' way, yes: Mr. Ronaid
Barker is very web ktt'own in Egypt
and Palestine. I read his monograph
on Borne of the Cairene • diggings. I
am very glad to meet him in the
flesh."

come from rumors that the United
States 'and Great . Britain' .had a'
chance to pull Japan away from
the Axis."
Taken separately, these items -nay
mean little.. Considered . together,
they may mean much. The return to
Japan of the Japanese Ambassador
from Great Britain may suggest the
beginning of a change in the mind of
Japan. The rise in the price- of the
Japanese yen and an upward' move-
ment in Tokyo and Anzac bonds may
suggest that at least war is not im-
mediately imminent in the Pacific and
that the advocates of peace may still
have a voice in the flowery Kingdom.
Japan was, at one time, an ally of
Great Britain. In those days she
kept her word with scrupulous exact-
ness -still does, otherwise; in her
present economic situation, Japanese
bonds would not be'worth-as-much as
they are in the New York market.
They have little back of them except
the promise and past performance of
Japan- . '
There is this to be said in defence
of Hitler -he acts as the 'horrible ex-
ample. The tattered drunkard is an
ccular demonstration of the evils of
intemperance. Adolph Hitler is• a
perfectly . unscrupulous', forthright,
outright and downright liar. He has
admitted it himself. He has. proved
:he point. It remains to be seen how
'far a cheap carbon copy -of Ananias
may get away with it in the realm of
statesmanship. He wrote a book
which denounced Russia and every-
thing associated with it. He made an
agreement with Russia. He tore the
agreement to pieces without a single
suggestion- that t,1�te Russians had. in
.nny way violated their end of the ac-
cord. - It suited his purpose. So long
as the treaty was of value to Ger-
many he would keep it.. It would not
be retained for a day after it ceased
to pay. The Japanese are, not with-
out political astuteness. . On the .day
that Germany crossed the border of
Russia, Japan must have realized
elea'rly that to become a friend of
Germany was more dangerous than to
remain ,an enemy. As an enemy, one
could- be on guard-o'therw-ise. it was
possible to be murdered in one's sleep
without even having a chance to
choose the method by'which the fool
deed was to be done.
There are always those who, at the
outbreak of war, become exceedingly
belligerent. . No sooner do we take
on one nation in combat than they
Want us to take on another. If ono
side of. the world is in flames they
would advocate an' incendiary policy
for the rest of the world. They seem-
ed anxious that the United States,
Great Britain and associates, should
get into a war.. with Japan. There
was no advantage in such a policy.•
Winston Churchill never takes his
eye off the the main point. The .
ject of civilization today' is to •.def : at
Hitler. Once that task is accomplish-
ed, if it is done with thoroughness,
the world will probably settle down
-each nation .striving its' best to
avoid future conflicts. The evil voice
of Hitler is the dominant note in the
present malaise of the world. When
he is gone, the world will feel better
-at least if it does not, it will only
have itself to blame.
Great Britain, the United States,
Canada and the British Dominions
have acted with the greatest reason
and restraint so far as Japan is con-
cerned. Our position in the Far
East was strengthened. That was
not provocative policy -it was protec-
tive action. It was not aggressive --
but defensive. Everything that could
be done with reason was,done by
way of suggesting that peace was
better than war -not only was it bet-
ter but it was more profitable. The
iron hand was under the velvet glove,
but the interested nations were quite
clear on one point -they would be
quick to defend -slow to provoke.
In the present stage of world de-
velopment, this is the best approach
to peace. Appeasement is, after all,

the .winds and decided to. occupy Rus-
sia.
That is as difficultand danger-
ous as undertaking as ever faced a
conqueror. The United States has a
little over three million square miles.

sia is as ilarge as the continent of
North America -1,200,000 square miles,

United' States has • one hundred and

two hundred million. Russia has nev-
er been defeated by external attack.
She was defeated in the last war, by
internal revolution. She'is unques-
tionably stronger now that she was

tic. It wanted to avoid war. There
was a reason for- that. The •pro'blent.
of internal development in Russia is
one which will ,require all the energy
of the Russian people for the next
century, perhaps for all time. Itis a

The historian will always find an
interesting subject for discussion in..
posing the oft 'asked,.'question: What
would have happened if the pages of
history had been reversed and the
victors had been the vanquished. on
-some of these' hard fought battles?
Whe:e, today, would have been the
world, as we know it, if the Spanish
Armada had won -if Wellington had
been defeated at Waterloo -if the
South had been successful at Gettys-
burg? These are only a few of the
"ifs" in history. Their number is
endless. One might carry it on in-
definitely. Turning to the right or to
the left at the fork of a 'road may
make or mar the life of the individu-
al. He may turn left and remain a
mute, inglorious Milton -turn right
and become, one of the great in the
nation's role of fame and honor.
.Looking now at this war, not yet
two years old, the same ir,tiusive
word suggests itself: What wound
have happened at the outbreak of war
if, ell Europe including Russia, ha4
united in one common block in pr -
fest against the madness of Hitler?,
