Chapter I
THE man from the American Express arrived about three o'clock bearing a skinny package about six
feet long and wrapped in tough pigskin-colored paper. Monk Mayfair, the chemist, accepted the
shipment, after inquiring cautiously whether or not it was collect. He carried it into the library of Doc
Savage's eighty-sixth floor headquarters in a midtown New York building and showed it to his friend
Ham Brooks, the lawyer.

“Look,” said Monk, “what somebody sent us.”

“What are you trying to pull now?” asked Ham Brooks, who felt that it was well to regard with suspicion
almost anything Monk did.

“Don't be so suspicious. Somebody sent us this thing.”

“What is it?”

“I don't know.”

“Why not look and find out.”

“It's addressed to Doc.”

“Well, stop bothering me about it,” said Ham, who thought Monk was probably playing a practical joke
on him. He added, “Take it in and give it to Doc.”

Monk was dubious. “Doc still working? I mean on that limit of compressibility for the air research job?”
“What if he is?”

“Yeah, you want me to get chased out of there, don't you?” Monk said.
