CHINA CLIPPER

"Telegraph's" Now Sorial From The First National Picture story by Commandor Frank Woad, U.S.N.,

CHAPTER FOUR

With Hop Staurt as chief nuvigut- ing ofeer, the China Clipper took off on schedule. It was race against time now. To-day was the 25th, nad the Clipper had to reach Macao by midnight, on the 30th, to fulfil its mall contract.

No one thought of leaving the office. Reports were coming In every half hour over the two-way

system radio telephone

between the Clipper and the Alameda otice. Between the half hour intervals they gulped down cups of steaming coffee and watched the clock.

At one o'clock on the 20th, the regular report failed to comé through. The electrically-controlled wall map indleated that the Clipper was some where half wny between San Francisco and Honolulu.

His nerves were almost Kone.

Suddenly a faint voice broke over the radio loud speaker. It was the radio operator on the Clipper:

The operator threw the switch. "Go ahead. China Clipper."
