Her mouth closed limply. She looked at me In wonder but didn't speak. I had almost been spraining my eyes trying try-ing to give her a warning. We went back to the car, and the driver said, "Got dough, have you? What else you got In your pockets?" They gave me a fast cleaning, found a ten-dollar bill, a quarter, my pencil; a watch and a handkerchief. handker-chief. They let me keep the handkerchief. hand-kerchief. There was nothing suspicious sus-picious for them to find. My dog tags were In a corner of the garage back near Washington, and - my A.G.O. card waa in my blouse also pack in the garage. We headed north, circled Camden, and swung east Route signs announced: an-nounced: Lakehurst, Toms River, Lakewood. Barneeat Manahawkin. Beach Haven. It didn't pay for me to make quick moves now.

For a few minutes the western sky dripped splotches of red into the bay, then It was dark. No street lights came on. The Island was dimmed out The car crept south on cowl lights. Beach Haven drifted past like a ghost town. I had been there once for a week end. We had gone fishing for kings and nounaers in Beach Haven Inlet, and had caught dog sharks and akatea. The Inlet wasn't far south of Beach Haven.. .The- hangout mtist be near. Two miles farther on we awun over to the bay, and stopped. There was nothing Interesting to be seen excent a small shack and a dock- that weaved tlpsily out into the bay. The driver patted a tune on the horn. A man came out of the shack. peered doubtfully at us. Take a. good look. Pod." the driver snarled. "You better make sure I got the same number of whis kers I had last time or I might be a different guy." "I know you." the man said, "and I know your friend back there, but I don't know that feller in the cor ner of the back seat" "He's our business. Pop." "Nobody was fcokln' for you to come. What's up?" We got a reason. Where's the garvey?" 'It ain't here. Nobody was look- in' for you to come." 'So it ain't here. So nobody was lookin' for us to come. Get it back here!" "Now, wait a minute," the man said.

"You mean one of them laundry-! on-a-rart things?" ""t don't guess you can."" ' I cleared my throat and said, "I ute," I said. "What happens if the Coast Guard spots us?" "Nobody'H bother you in the bay." he said. "Just don't go outside." "He won't" one' of my pala said. The caretaker shoved us off. , I brought In the sheet rope until tha aafl mied and tugged at my arm. Water chuckled under the hull We slid out of the tiny cove. The figure of the caretaker, back on the dock, got fuzzy at the edges and faded. I took a deep .breath. ' I felt good for the first time in twenty-four hours. Things were looking up. In a short time I would know the location loca-tion of the "hangout " and " maybe where to find Arab, and now I wasn't Jammed helplessly In a corner of a car. This time It was my party. Lots of interesting things can happen in sailboats. The man yelled, "Get this thing back on the road!" I let the sheet rope run free. The boat came back to an even keel, lost headway. The hands loosened She looked at me in- wonder but didn't speak. ---J - can." The caretaker and driver looked at me, whispered together for a moment mo-ment Then the caretaker said, "What's a centerboard?" "Centerboard?" I repeated. "That's a keel you can drop to keep a shallow-draft boat from being shoved sideways by the wind. You raise it when you're going over shoals." "I guess ho can sail a boat" th caretaker said. We left the car and walked n.,V along the rickety wharf. An eighteen-foot oversize sneakbox was moored at the end. They ordered me to get it ready, and aat on. tha dock watching suspiciously while 1 maae sail and fitted rudder and fin. er into place. Then the two big men climbed hi and huddled down Inside the tiny cockpit leaving the ear. taker on the pier. Starlight gleamed on blue steel in their hands. They couldn't have looked wofrled'lf I had been playing with a bomb. The caretaker droDDed the hnwiitr on deck, fcripDed the mast, and nre. pared to cast us off. "Wait a mhv on my throat I gave him a lecture on sailing, explaining that all sailboats sail-boats tOt in a breeze. The wind was south-southwest and the big sneakbox wouldn't point close into the wind and I had to tack. The boom swung over and my passengers passen-gers almost shot me. I explained that it was called going about and that often in a sailboat you couldn't neaa rignt wnere you wanted to go. You had to zigzag to it first on one tack and then on another. I demonstrated haw the sail flut tered and spilled wind when you tried to point too close Into the direction di-rection from -which the wind was coming. They grumbled about that They said it was the screwiest setup they ever heard of. They wanted to know why " anybody had been crazy enough to invent sailboats when motor boats were so much better. They complained for several sev-eral minutes but finally had to let me have my way. We racked along smartly. In half an hour a nun buoy slipped by and the inlet opened up off to port The boat heaved in channel swells. The stars were making a night of it. You could see surprisingly far, but I couldn't spot the loom of a cutter across the sequin shimmer of waves. A can buoy bobbed past heeling far over. It took plenty of tide to do that You better tell me exactly where you want to go," I said. 'There seems to be a little island across the inlet I'll have to make a lons- tack west "to clear It" That's the.island we want"- one of them said. I peered south. At first I could only see a narrow strip of beach. Then a shadow formed, bulky and dark, in the middle of the island. A house. A big one. "Where do we land?" I asked. "There's a- dock on the bay side." "How do you boys get away with it?" I said. "Don't nobody ask what you're doin' this time of year?" One of, them grunted. "We're supposed sup-posed to be fishing. For striped bass, A month ago the chief made me stand on the beach all day with a lousy pole and hunk of string." . I said innocently, "If you two guya would sit up here with me we wouldn't tilt so much." "Not me. That boom's too much like a blackjack when it comes over." "Maybe you're right" I said. Under cover of the darkness I looped the sheet rope around a cleat beside me. It was time to give them i . final lesson in sailing. A lesson on the danger of Jibing, a sailboat wnen uie sneet rope can t run free. In a Jibe, you -turn the stern into the wind instead of the bow. and the boom thunders across with th- full leverage of tha wind hthlnn tt Jibing is a racing trick and nothing k 1001 with even in a mild breeze "Going about" I droned. "Hard- e-ieerr The big men ducked their heads. They didn't see that the stern was creeping into the wind instead of the bow . . . and probably It wouldn't have meant anything to them, any way, we were running before the wind now. Water hissed past The rudder got sluggish. I Jammed It hard over. A little more . . . a . . . little . . . more . . . The taut sail crumpled for an Instant In-stant Then it bellied the other way, flitted across the boat like the beat of a giant wing. I dodged the bat-tleax bat-tleax sweep of the boom. In the next split second the -sheet rope snubbed the boom up short The sail flapped tight bellowing like a gun fired In a barrel. The power behind it switched to cleat and mast and hull Wood shrieked and crac kled. I half started a dive overside when the boat reared and flipped me out sprawling. For a few seconds everything was scrambled Water slapped half the air out of my lungs. I went down, fighting the drag of sweater and pants and shoes. Sparks were flickering flick-ering in my head before I clawed back. to the, surface. iulped aie twice, let myself go under and wrestled wres-tled out of the sweater. It wasn't so hard to climb to the surface this time. After a few breathe I curled under to work on my shoes. The laefs turned Into angry little snakes, but I finally managed to loosen them and to kick off the shoes. Then I relaxed, treading water, and let the It was difficult to see anything. Salt stung my eyes and the black glitter of waves tired them. There was no sailboat Once or twice something gleamed faintly out across the waves. It might have been the curved green bottom of a boat Once I heard a distant shout It might have been a man calling, a man who couldn't swim across a bathtub. I thought grimly: if they don't like it here, let 'em swim back where they came from. The water was cold but not numb ing. I peeled off my shirt The island where we had been heading teemed to be about a quarter mile away. I angled toward it with a quiet side stroke, going with the tide instead of trying to fight It I would miss the Inlet side of .the Jln4. but with luck there would be a return eddy to help me make the ocean- side of the beach. It took less time than I had estimated. esti-mated. The tide set toward the island is-land after boiling through the inlet narrows. And my angled course helped. In a way, I used some of the force of the tide Just as the boat had used the wind. I was still fairly fresh "when I got into the pound and drag of the breakers. Fresh enough to take a few bruising somersaults and struggle out of the undertow onto a hard-packed beach. I didn't take time to rest there. The beach was empty. Too empty. There wasn't even much driftwood. The house was only a hundred yards away, and a big dark blob on the beach might make an observer curi ous. I stumbled across the beach and up a dune. I flattened to the sand, gasping. The breeze chilled my body and the sharp beach grass stung my face, but gradually a little strength seeped back into my arms and legs. I sat up to study the situation. A hundred years aKOTTjerhans.-a - sand bar had started at the bottom and worked its way up in the world. Not very far up, however. From north to south it was only a few hundred yards long. You could cross Its widest part with two or three throws of a clam shell even allow ing for' the way clam shells curve. Low dunes, protected by a double row of piling stuffed with brush, formed its backbone. The house sat on a central dune. close enough for me to pick out details. de-tails. It was a gaunt three-story affair af-fair .with-unpainted shingles, weath ered almost black, In its shadow was a concrete structure the size of a four-car garage. Starlight silvered a small boathouse on the' bay side, a dock, and a board gangway lead. lng across the bayside marsh to the house. The place might once have been a sportsmen's club, in the days be fore civilization caught up with the ducks and stripers and big tide-running weakflsh. Judging from what I had heard earlier, the house had been a drop for rum-runners in the twenties. Apparently the ambitious sand bar hadn't done so well recently. recent-ly. It might have moved in better company if it had stayed on the bottom. bot-tom. I hadn't the slightest idea what to do. , My resources consisted of a pah' of pinks, wet; one undershirt, wet; one pair of shorts, wet and one handkerchief, wet I began to realize real-ize what an unusually helpless guy had been carrying the name of Andrew.
