I presume, Benning sneered, the captain and crew dont even know what their cargo Is? The skipper knows, and a few of his good men. For two years Schmolz has been laying his plans for Just this cruise. The door of their cabin banged suddenly open. A chunky man with a squarish, rough-hewleering face swaggered in. The fellow wore a dirty cotton suit and an officer's cap, and bristled with authority and short temper. Who are you two? he demanded, searching first Finckes face, then Bennings. The Van Hassek spy leaped to his feet and gave the identification formula. Benning was more leisurely in rising to Identify himself. He guessed that the intruder was Schmolz, skipper of the ship. I dont like your looks! the fellow blurted, fixing Benning with glinting green eyes. Don't worry about him, Captain, Fincke promptly Intervened. He' major the two of us been working together in the United States. Schmolz rubbed a cauliflowered ear ruminalively and gave Benning a parting glare in which there was mingled distrust and dislike. Major or no major, theres something about your looks I dont like, he grumbled. Their noon meal was brought in by an American deckhand, Grimes. After luncheon, Fincke went out on deck for exercise. With the complication of Bravots presence on the ship, Benning knew he must keep to cover during daybght. Also that he must strike against the Van Hassek spymaster without delay if he expected to survive this cruise for many days. Benning sweltered in the torrid little cabin through an insufferable day. With full darkness he examined the mechanism of his automatic pistol and went out on deck. As he suspected, Bravot was living In the cap- (TO til COMlMtUJ ' i tv a i M i"t I fin n s( i v in a !ht I an i i ( M i i I i In i. t IHH I.MIW Ml nr IIK MIMAS h 1 iirlird (ir HU h Illustrated I MONEHR HATCHERY UTAH Mil ' " u ' , Is im i e l u , i e I u w 1 'ii i ii 1 ! i 1 , lu i i v i of I'lissessiinis m ii r ik i i kt u. t t ) use; s ho should i Co i 111 ( i- ( Ollipi 1KMlI CoilipOMllOIl l u 11 a hul i U e K fiet. fin- otig i i !

Shortage of ammunition was general, even in the infantry. Ammunition was reported available at the railhead, but the railhead was swamped with demands and there were insufficient truck trains at present for all purposes. As the sun shot over the horizon, Flagwill turned back to the Lannes command post. Squadrons of American combat planes had combed the air of Van Hasseks night hawks and the day had quieted down to a rumble of artillery columns and hum of friendly planes. Given a day or two, Flagwill concluded, the hastily assembled Third Army would shake itself down. American ingenuity somehow would overcome the shortages of supplies, motor vehicles, the obsolescent organization tables, the tains quarters.
