The misty rain and gray sky and sea made it difficult to focus their tion but Joan suddenly saw the periscope of a submarine rising slowly from the water. There it is! I see it!" "Yes. That is it," Paul said quietly. Karl appeared from the captain's Quarters. They could see him descending the narrow flight of stairs. He was dressed in uniform and called sharp commands to three sailors who stood at the rail preparing to lower a small boat, "Is Karl going to the submarine?" Joan asked. "Probably they will come to the ship," Paul said speculatively. "Yes, that's right," Thomas put in, nodding his head. "I've seen them do it before. Karl gives them the papers and they're gone again." "You don't think Karl has found out that you changed those plans?" Joan said nervously. "He doesn't seem to." Men appeared from the hold of the ship. All stood at attention as the hatch of the submarine opened and two officers appeared. As Thomas had predicted, the boat carried them to the ship and they all went to the pilot house. "What will they do now?" Joan asked. "Get the papers and go back." "And all those plans will be used?" "Yes. Not only plans for bombing planes, but formulas for explosives and poison gas. This spy ring has connections in every part of our country. It's a powerful organization and the leader's the one we want Getting Karl alone wouldn't do any good. If he were in jail the rest of his life, it wouldn't stop the rest of them." "How terrible!" Joan shuddered. "That isn't the worst of it," Paul went on. "They intimidate people who have relatives in Germany, threatening to harm them unless money and aid is given. Many people are drawn into it this way." "Yes!" Thomas cried. "That's what happened to me. Karl told me my wife would be put into a concentration camp if I didn't give him five thousand dollars. She was still In Germany, you see, so I tried to raise the money but I couldn't. So Karl ofTered to put it up for me if I would come on this ship. But I've never heard from my wife since." "We may as well go inside," Paul said. "Apparently this conference is going U take some time." "I don't like the look of it," Thomas insisted "Usually they're here only a few minutes." "Do you really think anything is wrong?" Joan asked anxiously as she and Paul went into the lounge. "It doesn't look too good," Paul admitted. "Be ready for anything. If you want your purse, you'd better get it now. We may be off the ship before another hour passes." Automatically Joan went into ber cabin and gathered up her things. It seemed fantastic that they could scape from a boat in "All set?" Paul said as she stood resolutely before him. "Ready for anything!" Joan said bravely. But almost an hour passed and nothing happened. The ship rested tranquilly by the side of the submarine. The rain continued. Thomas watched from the deck. Paul smoked endless cigarettes as he Paced the length of the cabin. "I don't like this delay." he admitted. "Things aren't going as I had planned." , mid-ocea- Thomas came into the cabin where Joan and Paul waited, with tea and toast, "There must be something wrong," he whispered. "Karl must have found out about those plans." Paul frowned but said, "Not heeessarily." "But tf he has. what then? How will we ever escape?" Joan put in. Thomas poured the tea and his band trembled.
