CHINA CLIPPER

"Telegraph's" New Serial From The First National Picturo stary by Commandor Frank Woad, U.S.N.,

CHAPTER FOUR

With Hap Stuart as chief navigat- Ing officer, the Chinn Clipper took off, on schedule. It was race against time now. To-day was the 25th, and the Clipper had to reach Macao by midnight, on the 30th, to fulfil its mall contract.

No ong thought of leaving the office. Reports were coming In every half hour over the two-way radio telephone system between the Clipper and the Alameda office. Between the half hour intervals they gulped down cups of steaming coffee and watched the clock.

At one o'clock on the 20th, regular report falled to come through, The electrically-controlled wall map Indicated that the Clipper was some where hotf way between San Francisco and Honolulu.

They were silent us Bey sat around the operations office. Dave, with hands behind him, stood in front of

the huge map. Dad Brunn, slumped in a chair, kept his eyes on Dave. Dad felt tred-more tired than he had ever been lin his entire life. His heart pained him more often now.

Collins stood by the Tom

auto- matic printing machine as it ticked all out the weather reports from sections of the Pacific. Jean, like Dad Brunn, kept her eyes on Dave as she sat behind her little secretarial desk in the corner.

Finally, Dave broke the silence: "Should have her report by now. Why doesn't call in?"

No one answered, and Dave called

to the radio operator in the adjoining

roobi.

"Try em again.”

The operator pulled a switch and spoke into the microphone in a dull monoter "Alameda unling China

He cut the switch back, but there was no answer.

Dave resumed his position before the map. His nerves were almost gone.

Suddenly a faint voice brake over The radio loud speaker. It was the radio operater on the Clipper:

"Chino Clipper calling Alameda. China Clipper enifing Alameda."

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

They listened breathlessly to Hap's report:

"One o'clock report. Latitude 28.10.

Midway. At seven o'clocit that evening two reports came into the | Alameda operations office at virtually the same time. One was from the Clipper. I had sighted Midway and was preparing to land. The other was from Shanghai, o special weather report. Tom read it to Dave:

The Barometer's down another two tenths. Guam, Tokio, Singapore, and all airway situations are un- changed excepi Manila. They report squalls, heavy winds and rain."

noon,

Dave followed Tom's glance "Call him

As Tom went to make the call, Dave turned back to the wall map. To-morrow, if all went well, the Clipper would land at Wake.

But from the Alameda office came Dave Logan's orders:
