CHAPTER ONE
Dave Logan stood by the mil on the "A" deck of the ss. Toyen Maru and scanned the throngs on the dock below. The Toyen Maru was docking in New York harbour and Dave, returned from
lengthy trip in Japan, searching for his wife among the hundreds that had assembled on the wharf to watch the steam- er's arrival.
Suddenly he saw her..
WAN
"Jean, darling!" he called, cupping his hands before his lipst
"I be off in a minute!"
United on the dock, they held each other in a long embrace.
"You've been away so long I was beginning to think I'd never bad a husband," announced Jean as she kissed Dave for the third time. "I'm sorry, you had such hard luck on your trip," she add- od, soberly.
Dave's bronzed face clouded.
"What could I do?" he asked. "An English outfit beat me. there by five days and put through the deal. It'll be tough to face Horn. . He doesn't send agents to Japan to see the scenery."
Their speech was interrupled by a low deep throated chorns of whistles and bells.
"It must be Lindbergh!" Dave shouted to his wife. "He's due in from Paris to-day. Let's gel through the customs and join the crowd.'
Half an hour later the two were among the milling throngs assembled to welcome home the lanky young man who had amaz- ed the world by making the first solo flight across the Atlantic.
"Some day everybody will be making hops like hat by air," said Dave as he watched the young aviator drive by.
Jean looked at her husband quizzically. "Is the aviation bug getting you again?" she askę.....
"It's always had me," he an- swered as he began to guide her through the crowd. "Let's get over to Horn's office. He'll be expecting. me."
While Jean waited in the out- er office, Dave talked with Horn, his employer.
"You had tough luck, and I don't blame you," Horn was say ing. "The only thing to do is to keep trying. Take a look at these de Barros files for Rio. Maybe you'll have bottor luck next time."
"There isn't going to be any next time," said Dave, quietly. As Horn started to rise, Dave motioned to him to sit down and then continued, "Maybe I'm dizzy, but I just saw a kid air- mail pilot from St. Louis, He flew from here to Paris. Alone. Well, I'm going to do things like: that... maybe bigger."
"You've quit?"
"Yes," answered Dave, "Let's get on home and I'll tell you about it. I'm going to build bridge across the Pacific," he an- nounced,-"An air bridge,” he added quickly as Jean opened her mouth in amazement.
They made their first plans that night; and a few weeks lat- er they were in Philadelphia where Dave, with the help of friends, established a passenger air service between that aity and Washington.
Unfortunately for Dave and his plans, the venture proved un- successful, B. C. Hill, a busi- ness - man who had backed the line, withdrew his support at a time when it was most needed. Dave's only encouragement came from his two partners in the business-"Dad" Brunn, a veto- ran aircraft designer, and Tom Collins, war-time flying corpus buddy of Dave's.
The trio were sitting around the airport office after Hill had loft. Tom Collins, a lanky, dark- hafred young man, volcod his opinion of the whole affair.
