THE girl, it seemed, had missed her cue for the whirl- wind dance business, and nobody had had time to find out the reason for her absence until after the last curtain, when a locked door and a smell of gas had been reported.
The door was easily opened with the key of another door; found, then the girl was sprawled over a couch, half- dressed in the costume of her act, unconscious and breath- ing heavily in the tainted at- mosphere. David took in the scene professionally. "Noth- ing to be alarmed about," he said.

ONE SQUADRON-32 NAZIS
A fighter pilot who has taken part in three big air battles
in five days told the story in a broadcast of his squadron's destructive attacks on the German raiders in which they shot down 32 enemy aircraft.
The other flight of my squadron took off at half-past eight in the morning to patrol the convoy sall ing down channel south of the Isle of Wight.
My fight took off shortly after that. We were lucky to find that the first two formallons of dive- bembers, Junkers 87, were left to us.
We went straight at them. Some turned back at once, but oibers went down on the convoy and attacked. We shot at a few of the bombers and then got mixed up with their escorting Messersch- mitt 100. I remember seeing two, of them about a quarter of a mile nway coming straight at 'me.at 16.000ft/00000
