Quickly, Ivor sketched in the air currents they would meet over Banks, It had been called "Death Spot" by imaginative aviators who suspected that was where half a brave flyers had met their deaths in the Dole Flight. The warm Japan current, the North Pacific drift circling around the Hawaiian islands, the southern limit northeast trade winds running north, and the equatorial counter- current converged at this place, set- ting up a dangerous set of air cur- rents for planes. Erben Banks are only about 400 fathoms, while around them the depths are nearly 3000. Convergence of the four currents have built up the banks, it is believed. 5 The drifts meeting with their dif- ferent temperatures, for the trade winds follow the drifts, cause a swirling and variable sendition of the air currents, Th plained to Joan, produced an area 'full of holes." A sudden plunge into one of these pockets might spell disaster, At the center of the "Death Spot," Brooks went on, the wind action resembled a whirlpool, : "Just as if you turned four giant fans on a certain point, all blowin different temperatured air from dif- ferent directions," he said, "You can guess what would happen to S o MA tail spin?" Joan suggested. He nodded, "Exactly," A tailspin, the most dreaded of all accidents that may befall a plane in aiden if it hit this air whirl flight. : ; WA explained things so well, and in language she could understand.

Joan felt her muscles becoming tense as she ed at her wrist watch. Nearly three, They ought to strike it soon. Brooks never took his eyes off his compass except for a minute when he radioed a message shortly after the hour, "Sky Maiden still maki same speed, 3:02 pm, Weather ideal." Like four giant fans, Joan thought. Four giant fans that had already drawn many aviators to their death in the sea... . The Sky Maiden was soaring up- ward, swiftly, The sea seemed far away now, no more than a dull blue haze, far below them, It was harder to breathe up here. And colder, al- though they were going straight for the yellow sun, Its rays hurt Joan's eyes, The plane skimmed through a white cloud, and for a moment the blue haze below was invisible, More clouds; the Sky Maiden was glid- ing through them ds though they were ghosts. Higher, higher, higher, "Losing time," Brooks shouted to Joan, althought he did not look up at her, "But we'll make it up later, Higher Art!" am had awakened and she was frightened by her pitiful mewing., The girl patted the kitten mechanically, to soothe her, but con- tinued to look ahead through the angle of the side window, She could see nothing but the fleecy clouds they were darting through. ollins was still climbing, his motor turning at full speed, .

Again the Sky Maiden quivered, It lurched, this time. "She's got us" Collins sheuted. "We're going down! I'll try to right her on the way--" The rest of his words were choked off by the sudden rush of air that struck the plane, whirling the silver ship round and round in a dizzy spiral as they plunged downward at terrific spee A tail spin!

Joan felt the plane hit the water with a terrific bump, then bound up again, She glanced from the win» tions. Then the plane no longer lifted, It was going straight ahead -- into the smooth, calm Pacific that scemed just the bank of dark clouds ahead, The water was miles below, breathing, lightly and evenly, Joan leaned forward, her hands on the back of Collins' seat. 4 eyes bright behind her soggles and her Buy Heat Not Ash/ Hamilton By-Product Coke exceptionally low in ash 11, M, Fowlds & Son - 81 King St. W.

'Good boy Art! You saved her!" Brooks patted Art on the shoulder, and arose in his seat, "All right, Joan?" "Fine !" The radio antennae crashed the water, Carried away, I guess! I'll go back and see, Maybe I can re- pair it," He crawled back into the fuselage to examine the antennae, which had trailed behind the Sky Maiden like the tail of a kite, Brooks clambered over the oxy- gen tanks and on over the spare tanks of gasoline, At the very tip of the plane was a little door which the force of the crash in the water had forced opén, Not very hopefully, he looked at the dynamo. It was useless now, drenched with sea water, The an- tennae was gone, Torn away when the Sky Maiden had skimmed the water at- terrific speed, He closed the small door, and eon his hands and khees, made his way back to his seat, "Hopeless," he told Art, "Can't possibly be repaired." "Doesn't matter," was Art's laconic reply, 'We'll have to get along without it, that's all. Stanley will worry, though, The old ship's go- ing fine now." "What message did you send, Ivor?" Joan asked as Brooks lighted a cigarette and comfortably inhaled a long puff of its smoke, "Oh, 1 thought we were gone," and he smiled over at her, "I don't just remember, 'Sky Maiden in tail spin, was all I had time to get off, I guess, Wish now I hadnt sent it, but I felt I ought to, Ever been that 'near death before, Joan?" "Not that I can remember, Oh, yes, Ihave too, 1 fell out of a high tree once and thought I was gone. But I grabbed a limb and saved my neck. Only spraining my wrist!" "Well,your grab was the same thing that happened to us, my dear girl, We've got Art to thank for our lives, We'll toast you with some hot coffee, What do you say, Art?" "Good! This is a wonderful ship! No other plane I ever flew would do what this girl has done! Came clear out of a tail spin, and we were falling. I don't know how many miles 2 minute! Let's drink a toast to the Sky Maiden." : Silently, the three lifted their small pups of steaming coffee and drank. usk was settling. A dusk that dulled the blue of the water and the blue of the sky only dimly at first, It was as if a veil were spread, a veil whose meshes tightened and deepened until it had drawn the sea og the heavens into its mauve net, Only the sun remained outside, now a red ball, touching the tip of the horizon with one of its hot, flaming sides, A thin, whitish moon showed in- distinctly, half timidly, The sun was half covered now, and angry because it was being dis- placed in such peremptory fashion, reat floods of crimson light poured from its surface, coloring the water and the sky with blood. The red faded out, slowly, reluc- tantly, and there was only the deep- ening twilight.

"Rather, But not tired enough yet for gaffeine, Ten o'clock, Time we had some supper. Forgot all about eating." (To be continued) MINISTER DIES FOLLOWING FAST Pairen, Manchuria, Oct. 25.7 The Rev. Shintaro Ham, preacher at the Nippon Methodist Chureh in Nishi Park here, ended a month's fast'on September 7 in death, He was a religious zealot and consid- ered that he had had an injune- tion from the Bible to fast for a long period. His attempt to go without food for a month evoked a mild sensa~ tion in Dairen.

The Hudson's Bay company brought coal miners from Scotland to work the mines at Suquash, so named from the Indian expression "the rock that burns." The mine was operated as early as 1838, but it was not until the early fifties' that coal was discovered at Nanaimo and the industry became commercially im- gortant. A mine opened in 1853 near Nanaimo is still being operated and is the oldest operating mine in Can- ada. It was the Wellington seam, dis- covered in 1871, which made a for- tune for the Dunsmuir family, The coal industry of Vancouver Island has fallen on evil days in re- cent years owing to labor troubl competition of foreign fuel oil a other causes, These conditions were responsible for the recent amalgama- tion of the largest producers, the Canadian Collieries 72 Uh 4 Ltd, and the Western Fuel Corporation of Canada, Ltd, [JOMINION ST | | Pumpkin for Pies, Hallowe'en Candies and' Apples; * in fact, lowe'en f he Fides neh var ria Ba en for our thought when pre- "paring this list of timely the occasion, old 3 WSET (lh en m Will I TK 9] specially priced for NEW SEASON Our Own a Jelly Rolls == 15e Madeira Cake 150 SIL | LANCER GLO) (A A'S (G0) 3: N' 4 LTATTOLS] 24-0%.
