Quickly the men went over the bi; one building They talked, planned, argued this building, they found, now they were inside. Curt knew point and that, the full trip.

Along the entire front of these three joined buildings were thin stacks of lumber piled to presen' the picture Curt had got through field glasses a few days ago, of stacks of pipe, or piles of boxes and crates. With doors open it would look like a solidly packed warehouse. Actually, all materials could be pulled down quickly. The big plane they first came upon appeared to be ready for flight. In the other hangar was a second plane not yet fully assembled. The motors and propellors were missing, but Curt found ths engines quickly. The two square boxes hed seen pass through Cabeza only that morning, the boxes stenciled Generators, had been knocked apart, and the two motors for this plane stood revealed on the floor ready to be hoisted into position. Whatd I tell you ! growled Curt. A long silence followed, finally broken by. Curt sour, Yeh, but we havent got all night. Theres something else to locate. Mitchells cheap Jap pump machinery those boxes like oversize coffins. Collins pointed briefly in the beam of light, and Curt swung it from one end to the other of a bulkhead which rose to the height of the window stripping along the back of the central section, the machine shop. In front of the wall was a heavy h on which lay in orderly precision small parts, tools, instrument panels, evidently intended for the unassembled plane. At one end was a door. They found it padlocked. Nothing we can do about that, muttered Curt. He cast about for something to climb on, found a stool which he placed on the bench. Standing on this he peered over the top of the boarding. Roofed, he said. He pulled the chisel from his pocket and about to find a plank looser pried than the others. When he found a board he could force up and had east hia beam of light inside the bulkhead, his body stiffened, not a muscle moved At last he climbed down silently handed over his flashlight to Collins, motioned the other up. Stacked inside the long storage room, securely braced on heavy timbers, was a single row of streamlined aerial bombs, eacheight the height of a man. On the shelf above them was a neat row of nosei fuses and eight tail fuses eight ready to be screwed into place. All right, weve found out what we wanted to know, growled Curt and amended himself, to know for sure. Lets get out of here. Itll take time to get back to Tempujo. En route they worked out the angles. Curt said, Youre on assignment, Collins. What are your orders? I mean, now youve got what you came for, what do your books of regulations tell you to do? Collins gave a short Ha! Then, weighing his words carefully, Of course, theres a certain amount of red tape necessary in any line of work.. Reports and so forth.

Man! muttered Collins, "what !d give for a good cup of coffee! Forget it, said Curt. Youve got to look your worst for Montaya. Hes a pretty slick hombre. Go without breakfast, dont shave, and dont sleep. That worked on me. They approached Curts bungalow cautiously, found Monahan on the ob. Nary a soul been around, the man said. Good. Slats, weve got a job on our hands. Bad job. Want in? Hey! Whyd you suppose I ted here all night without an squatargument? Curt chuckled. In the lee of the hibiscus hedge he told Monahan who Collins was, why he was here, what the two of them had just found. Jerry, Collins and 1 will have our work cut out for us, but a good deal depends on you, Slats. Your ob will be to make your way un through San Alejo to the radio station above, get the drop one way or another on whoevers stationed there, and smash the sending apparatus beyond easy repair. This will cover our escaipe but leaves you holding the bag. Curts tone was a little disturbed. Only way of your getting out is over the Quebrados and across the Negro into Associated territory. Dont worry about me. I can make it. Good. This leaves one thing. We wa?tt0 see the murderers of Mitch md Zora and Bill get whats coming to them. Yeh. Monahan spat. Well, we havent figured out a synchronization to take care of all the ringleaders. All we can on are Ryden and Lannestock.- plan H This was enough for Curt. Okay. Thought you4 come through.

Now, the moment, with Montaya in a hurry, and it beto sound a trifle hollow when at gan last tee little boat from Riverbend bumped tee stage and out climbed a native with a letter for Curt. Montayas eyes narrowed. No longer was he in such impatience to get started. Curt ripped open the envelope, read tee note. A grin split his face from ear to ear. From friends in Soledad, he explained. Mclnnis, their Chief Engineer, invites me and my family over for an anniversary dinner tonight. Of course, Id like to go, but I cant. I cant even spend tee at San Alejo. But I can send day tee car for my wife and tee children Mr., Curtis f Montayas voice was frigid. Youve contracted to remain on the concession for tee term of your contract. Curt blinked, stared, Hunh? le said. Your contract, Mr. Curtis, binds you and your family to remain here. What do you mean? My contract binds my family to residence here with me, yes, but a visit to Soledad isnt breaking residence. And anyway, Curt began to show anger, I wont have my wife cooped up, unable to see her friends who are so near. I dont care so much for myself, I have enough to me busy without a social life. keep With my wife its different. He drew a deep breath and' rushed 1 on.

This roused apprehension in Curt, but Collins had schooled himself well before crossing the river. He knew the answers. In the end Montaya was satisfied and Curt nodded dismissal to the man, saying shortly, Ill be sending tee launch up river at daybreak. Be on it. And keep away from the bar. One drink and youre out on your earl Collins slunk away, Montaya was using the launch for his trip to Cabeza today. Curt descended to tee floating'stage to see him off. And here the first in his plans nearly misfired. step Setting out from Riverbend was a small skiff. Though Montaya was patiently anxious to be on his way.

Montaya had said hed be at Tern' pujo early on Sunday. Early for him must have meant ten oclock. He was headed for Cabeza. Curt wondered why, then rememberec that the Keito Mara, in port yesterday, was pulling out today. With German shipping chasec from the seas, with the British blockade pretty effective in the Atlantic, contact with Berlin had to make a detour. A long one. Montaya had his black brief case with him and never let it leave his hands. ...Reports, decided Curt, anc probably 'pictures of the assemble! plane.
