Phantom Raiders Page #4

She'll go down like the rest

and you'll go down with her.

Three ships Morris has lost.

He's hard luck I tell you.

We got to work, ain't we.

Maybe he won't get this one.

He's right. I won't go.

We'll be okay.

Al Taurez Seamen's Association.

Good old Al. A clue?

Back in the States, Al

Taurez was always a clue.

Don't let that weasel landlubber

scare you off your ship men.

Come on boys! Stow these things and

we're all set to brighten up your voyage.

This Mr Taurez seems to be

a man of generous nature.

Al will give his best friend

a knife in the back any day.

Come on Mack. Pile on the cargo.

You'd better get somebody to

help you carry that aboard.

Hey you! Lend a hand here.

Sir, I work with my brain.

Then you must have been

on relief a long time.

Come on Beeswax, he's got your number.

I got it Mack.

Careful Lou, it's pretty heavy.

Thanks Al.

What time did the Toledo cast off?

About 12 o'clock.

Hello Cora. Hello Al.

Run along Mack. Aye aye, sir.

Al, have you ever heard of a

detective named Nick Carter?

Then you know him? Yes.

You might say we're old friends

with conflicting points of view.

I'm having dinner with

him in a few minutes.

Knowing Nick, I'd be

surprised if you weren't.

It's not a social appointment.

He wants to "question me".

He probably wants

your telephone number.

No. It's about those

ships that disappeared.

Dear old Nick. You'll find him charming

I'm not in the market for charm.

And I don't like being

blackjacked into a date.

In fact, I'm going to

give Mr Carter a stand-up.

Oh, Cora.

As a favor to me, please

join Nick for dinner.

Why?

Now look, have I ever asked you

to... I'm sorry Al. I'll do it.

That's the spirit, thank

you. See you later.

Hello... this is he.

This is Ramsell.

I've just spoken to the Toledo.

She's now on the high seas.

Thank you.

Hello little fellow.

Not so much fun sitting in

that cage all the time, eh?

Hello Al.

Hello Gunboat. Would you mind

taking a walk around the block?

Again? Please.

Alright. Only... it's humiliating.

I know I'm late but I ...

Oh are you? I hadn't noticed.

There's nothing like

starting out friends is there.

A couple of champagne

cocktails, waiter. Yes, sir.

I hope I haven't spoiled your evening.

Oh no, not at all.

You've been a great help.

That's the Prince Charming in me.

You said there'd be questions. I can

answer the first. I'm busy tomorrow night.

Well, how about...?

As far as you're concerned, I'm busy

the rest of my life for 24 hours a day.

Just a minute, while I shift gears.

But you ordered two

champagne cocktails.

I never went for that champagne

routine. Coffee please.

Yes ma'am.
