Excerpt from The Phantom in the Rainbow Private radio code 
snapped and snarled through the ether. Out of the very early morning 
mist, a great ship loomed up off Sandy Hook. The veteran captain, in 
resplendent uniform, stood tensely on one end of' the bridge and closely
 scanned the Long Island horizon. On that side of the huge 
vessel, down under the lowest deck, a freight opening was being cleared.
 These preparations were so far below that no one could notice them 
unless he was particularly curious and hung over the rail to see. The
 vast promenade decks were deserted at this early hour. Only a few 
passengers were astir, but among them was Bill Skyles, star reporter of 
the sensational New York Morning Star, returning from a European 
assignment. Ever alert to any unusual development, he felt the quiet 
tension pervading the crew and traced their interest to the skyline and 
the mysterious business below decks.
