ORIENT
By Captain W.

VIII. DEATH
MARCHES ON (Pages
78 - 87)
Biggles wants to speak with Sergeant
Gray. They find him lying on the floor
of a hanger apparently drunk. Lal Din is
called to bring black coffee and Biggles and Johnny Crisp manage to speak to
the Sergeant briefly but they leave him to sleep it off. Biggles and Johnny return to the mess to have
dinner. Johnny goes back to check on
Gray afterwards, only to find him dead!
When Biggles searches the surrounding area he
finds a slip of greaseproof paper about three inches square on which is printed
WITH THE COMPLIMENTS OF CHARNEYS, LTD., LONDON.
NOT FOR SALE. SUPPLIED FOR THE
USE OF H.M. FORCES ONLY. The body is
sent off for a post mortem. Biggles goes
to see the mess secretary and the barman from the sergeant's mess. The barman says he only served Gray with iced
lemonade that night.
