CHAPTER V
SYNOPSIS
On bard the Orizaba, beautiful
Camilla Dean meets Ronald Bar-
ker, half American, interested in
affair S In Palestine. They pledge
eternal friendship and Ronald
tells Camilla that the man
known as Joseph Asad -a fellow
voyager who 'lel one of Camilla's
admirers -is in reality Hassan
Isar, son of one of the richest
shieks in Damascus, returning
from a visit to Washington where
he has tried, to end the British
mandae in Palestine. He has been
instrumental •in the removal of
Osman Khali from the Mosque
of Omar in Jerusalem and Barker
asks Camilla to find out from: Has-
san -Joseph Asad -where Osman
Khali is biding. Cantina culti-
vates Hassan's affections.
At certain moments it took all Cam-
illa's skill to keep Asad at arm's
length. And when, he . offered mar-
riage she defended herself by the ex-
pedient of asking , him' how many
wives he already had.
Instead of being d-ismayed he took
her question In all seriousness.
"Two," he said gravely. "They live
at my 'place in Damascus, but if
You'll marry me I'll let them go. You
are the one woman I want. 1 am a
modern, a modern Mohammedan. If
I married you it would make things
different.- Instead of war you might
lielp me to bring peace to all of Pal-
estine and Syria:"
She was sure he believed what he
said at the moment and in the sin-
cerity of his gesture. "You Make
3our 'offer very attractive. Every wo-
man likes to have influence in great
ffairs." she said slowly, and them
p&used. "I like you, Joe; but-er-.
it's too much to' decide in a moment.
"I'll promise to be patient. I will
even go with your stupid friends in
Michael Gay's bus to Bagdad." He
frowned and turned toward her.
"Why do you want to' go to Bag-
dad?" •
"Who wouldn't? It's a story -book
city, the 'city of Haroun-al-Raschid, of
the Thubsand and One Nights, and
the flying carpet that takes people
inysteriourty from one. place to an-
other without leaving, a trace. Per-
haps the ruysterTens son of the Pro-
phet ---v at's his name? - Osman -
Osman Khali escaped' that way from
jerilsalem--"
Her cast was unsuccessful, for her
big trout did not rise. Asad onb.
lowered his eyelids for a moment.
"Anything is possible in the East,"
he said with a frow-n, - •
Camilla's fears that she•might havie
aroused .Asad's suspicions were not
'diminished by the fact that instead of
hunting her up. the next day as us-
ual, she saw him late in the after-
noon in earnest conversation with

Joseph Asad glowered' at Camilla,
as he lowered) his •voice. "I dont
believe in wasting words," he said.
"What has mlade you so curious
about 087118A,, Khali?"
Camilla plunger. "Osman Khali
has fled to Bagdad, hasn't he-- she
asked sweetly.
•-Asad bent forward, his hands clasp-
ing Ilia knees, his voice a snarl of
discontent. "Has Ronald Barker
been talking to you about Osman
Khali?"
"Of courp, everybody has. His es-
cape from Jerusalem is the talk of
the ship. 1 asked him if he knew
anything about. it. He didn't. Du
you know where Osman Khali has
gone, Joe?"
',Where Osman Khali hides is no
affair of yours. Besides-" Asad
laughed "-no matter where he is, he
can be moved to another hiding place
if he receives a warning." •
She looked at him narrowly. "You
adniit that you had something to do
with moving him from the Dome of
tne Rock at Jerusalem?! He wouldn't
reply and by the sudden tfinuness of
his jaw she knew that their conversa-
tion about the descendant of the Pro-
phet was finished. "Have you nothing
else to say to me, Joe?" she asked
"Yes. I shall ask the sam,g ques-
tion of you many times until you
give me the right answer."
"1 dion't mind. Your company is
pleasant." Camilla rose. "And now
1 must go and dress for dinner. Au
revoir."
•
* *
It seemed probable that Ronald
Barker had procured the invitatioa
for cocktails from Captain Simpson
in order that they might meet unob-
served and uninterrupted. It grew
dark while Caafeilla dressed and
when she made her way up the after
stairway she sam people going down
dinner, for the gong had already
sounded. She watched for her op-
portunity and reached the boat decir,
going forward to the door of the cap-
tain's cabin, knocking timidly. Cap-
tain Simpson, a cocktail shaker in
one hand, opened the door himself,
greeting her warmly. Ronald Bark-
er had not yet arrived.
She -was looking at the captain as
sounds of a commotion came from
the -deck outside -blows and' a sud-
den crash.' Simpson rushed into the
gangway and out on deck where in
dim silhouette against the nearest
lifeboat Camilla could see two strug-
gling figures. She caught a gleam .on
the blade of a knife and saw it stop
in the air as it was caught and held.
'rhen 'a blow from Ronald -Barker as
the man fell, the knife clttering to
the deck. He tried to scramble to
his feet, but Simpson caught him by
the ankle and Barker fell on him. By
this time one of the men (111 the
bridge had rushed down and they
held the man helpless.
The whole affair had only taken

ference or a cold-blooded determina-

intention to get all the Information
he could from Camilla, no matter how
much it cost her.
So, taking the hint, sh went to a
quiet corner aft where the deck stew-
ard wrapped her in her blanket and
brought her tea. As the main
straightened he put a folded alip.of
ipaper into her fingers. She read:
"Captains cabin at seven for cock-
tails. Meanwhile, try Mosque of
Kazemain, Bagdad."
There was no need for explanation.

seconds and no one on -the decks be-
low had been aroused.
"Keep this quiet, Captain, please,"
Barker said.
"Do you know who he is?"
"Haven't the slightest idea. Nev-
er saw him before in my life."
A man of the watch on deck
brought a searchlight, flashed
to the the man's face, revealing his oily
sweater and dungarees,.
"Well, of all the-! I'm sorry, Mr.
Barker," Simpson said!. "It's one of
my own, crew. He'll do a stretch for
this."
All the fight was out of him and
they slipped handcuffs over his
wrists. They tried to Make him talk,
but he only stared' at them dully,
breathing hard. His name was Ayub,
theyid, a Turk who had signed on
at Furaeus last voyage. As they led
the Mai below the captain, 'picked up

They led Barber into the office
where they took off his coat and
cut the sleeve of his shirt.
"It does seem as if they intended
to make good their threat," Camilla
said. "Can't something be done, Cap-
tain, to prevent anything more like
this?"
"Certainly it can. Mr. Barker will
stay right here in my office and use
my stateroom with guards at win-
ctows and doors until we dock tomor-
row. For the present I'm going' to
have your dinner and Miss Deaa's
served here. That will suit you,
won't it?"
"I'd like to say, before you tell me
anything," Barber began, "that I
didn't realize when I asked you to
talk to Hassan Isa,r what a thankless
task I'd given you."
"It wasn't so bad?' Camilla ' said
lightly. "You see, he wants to marry
Inc.,'
Barker frowned- "But he has a
number of wives already."
"Only two -very small ones. It
might be worse if he had a dozen-.
I've had a very goecl. time. I think
I've made some progresS, too. How
did you guess that Osman was at
Bagdad?"
"I had a message that he had been
seen on the Damascus read going
east.",An
d the Mosque of Kazemain?"
"I guessed that. It's the largest
Moslem shrine."
"Well, I think that's where he is.
Asad was very much disturbed when
I spoke of Bagdad. How about Ser-
rano and Ayub?"
"I'di like to talk to Ayub. I'll have
something to say to Serrano too. I'll
get Simpson to help me put Ser-
rano through the third "degree and
find out if Asad had anything to do
with that shooting. .I could ship Ser-
rano to England from Alexandria.
I'm sure he wouldn't like that."
Camilla realized that they had been
discussing political affairs ghen
something else was on her mind as
well as his.
There was a knock on the door and
the steward appeared, bringing the
coffee. And after that the captain
came, causing them to draw sudden-
ly apart. "Don't mind m%" he said.
"Can_you get Ayub to talk?"
"We've tried everything but thumb-
screws." ,k •
"Has the wireless operator been
able to identify Mohammed Ali?" It
was Camilla's voice.
"He still says he thinks it must be
ME Mahmoud Daoud."
..whyr
"Because he insists Daoud opened
the envelope and glanced at the mes-
sage before he discovered it wasn't
for him." '
"I'll follow that up when I reach
Cairo." The captain went out and
steward took the coffee service.
"rf Daoud knows you're El Kerak
you ought to know he ' knows it,"
Camilla said.
Barker frowned through his cigar-
ette smoke. "Of, course he'll deny it.
The Cairenes are the most polisbed
liars in the world. It's all pretty rot-
ten. Killing to be done and all that.
Of course, it's war in miniature -
specialized war. I've a big following
-a few tribes who believe in me and
will fight for me until death" - he
broke off -"there I go,talking again."
"Please go on. And Hassan Isar
and his tribes -and Arif-el-Arif?"
"They'r,e my enemies. Sworn ene-
mieS. MY tribes come from beyond
the Lebanon Mountains -Copts, Jews,
half-hearted •Moslems -oh, they're a
pretty sorry lot when you see them
en masse. You can understand it's
difficult to keep a mob like that in
order."
Camilla's eyes were ablaze with
interest. "And the tribes bf Has-
san Isar -of Arif-el-Arif?"
" "Fanatical Moslems bent on' restor-
ing Palestine to the Arabs, .on driv-
ing the British into the sea. And Has-
san Isar, who calls 'himself Joseph
Asad, in spite of his mild exterior
and beautiful manners, is the most
fanatical of all."
Camilla started up in recollection
01 recent contacts with her friend
Joseph.
"You see," Barker went on, "that
was why I was so disturbed by the
wireless to Mohammed Ali. I was
afraid that if Joseph Asad found out
who I am, my goose would be cooked
in Asia. 1 couldn't go back into Ara-
bia even among my own tribesmen."

• Experts can roughly estimate the value of a
product by looking at it. More accurately, by hand-

the "feel" and the balance of it all means something
to their trained eyes and fingers.
• But no one person can be an expert on steel,
brass, wood, leather, foodstuffs, fabrics, and all of
the materials that make up a list of personal pur-
chases. And even experts are fooled, sometimes, by
concealed flaws and imperfections.
• There is a super index of value than the senses

the value of any manufactured goods. Here is the

the use of shoddy materials.
