Excwept: Very strange. Five people unaccounted for. The pilots searched the pontoon. They got their fuel from the storehouse. There was no sign of disorder. Nothing wrong. They searched the little metal cottage. Its door had a smashed lock. Nothing else was wrong. The few small interior rooms showed no signs of violence. The luggage of Professor Alden and his daughter stood as mute evidence that the guests had arrived. The officers of the mail plane reported the condition of Pontoon 4 by radio to New York and to London; and in ten minutes, they departed. When they were gone, Pontoon 4 still lay silent and deserted. Drama had been here-tragedy doubtless-but it was over now.
