The large warehouse was set on pilings out over the flowing Lubilana River. A wooden building, it was surrounded water and a soft, grassy lawn. Wooden duckboards were la across the wet turf from the riverside roadway to the wooden ramp that sloped upward to a wooden platform that ringed the large warehouse. A wooden door showed light in the darkness. More light showed above, coming from the open slats of a ventilator in the side of the warehouse out over in water.

For a time nothing moved outside the warehouse. There was no sound but the sudden splash of a crocodile in the river. Then the black shape crossed the roadway and moved close to the tall warehouse. A shape, only vaguely visible in the dark, the figure loomed motionless and silent in the night. Piercing eyes beneath a wide slouch hat studied the warehouse with the faint light streaming from it into the night.

The Shadow had returned to the place of Kent Allard interrogation.

Guided by the knowledge gained by his sharp ears while bound and blindfolded, The Shadow had driven unerringly to the warehouse. Now he stood in the night and studied the empty building where light showed his captors were still hiding. His piercing eyes saw the light streaming from the slats of the ventilator halfway up the wall over the river. Swiftly he moved out and across the soft grass to the edge of the river.

The platform that surrounded the warehouse loomed above him. His sure fingers reached up to grip the platform and himself up and onto the platform. Like some apparition from the wide river itself, The Shadow glided silently to the wall beneath the ventilator. In the red glow of his fire-opal girasol the Avenger inspected the wooden wall. It was built with long, vertical boards that had twisted and warped over the years in the humid air of Africa. The boards had separated, leaving cracks and crevices. Small holds, but enough for the steel fingers and muscles of The Shadow.

Silently the great black form moved up the wall.

The Avenger reached the slatted ventilator, one hand hooked over the top slat. His piercing eyes looked into the space of the warehouse interior.

The chair where Kent Allard had sat still stood alone in the center of the wide floor. To the left, around a long table, four people sat. They were two men and two women, all dressed in the khaki shirts and shorts The Shadow had seen at Mukulu. Sten guns lay on the table, and beside the guns were small cardboard cards and sheets of paper. The four people were deep in study of the cards and papers. They were all young except one of the men. The women were two of the three who had tried to abduct McNair from Mukulu. The third women, the leader, was not in the warehouse. The Shadow smiled grimly where he hung against the wall in the darkness. She, then, would be the one watching Kent Allard back at the Augustus Hotel.
