“Oh, I had a good rest in Elsie’s room while she was on duty.” She sat down near the window. “Your dad and I had a long talk over our breakfast. He told me everything. You’ve been a wonder, Kitty.”
“But I won’t feel easy till Punaro and Beeson are captured. Did they arrest Punaro last night?”
Hazel shook her head. “No, he didn’t come in.”
“Seems no doubt he was the one who shot Brad.”
“The FBI have gone out now in a powerful motorboat. The wind is down enough for them to take a chance. They’re afraid to wait too long for fear the pair will get away.”
“Did the storm do much damage on the island?”
“I hate to tell you how much, dear. You can get a view of the destruction from Brad’s room.”
Kitty was instantly alert. “Then we’ll need every Canteen worker on the island. I must try to get in touch with Mrs. Evans. I suppose all the wires are down.”
“Oh, yes. But Mrs. Evans and her family slept in the recreation hall. She asked me to tell you to report to the USO as soon as possible.”
“Glad to know it weathered the blow.”
