...gangsters in a hideout, but sit-down strikers were the besieged. Two days prior they had sat down for recognition of their union, the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel & Tin Workers into which John L. Lewis and his C. I. O. are trying to enlist all the steel workers in the land. Circuit Judge Ralph J. Dady had promptly issued a temporary order for them to evacuate. But the example of the automobile sit-downers in Flint (TIME, Feb. 15) had taught the Fansteel men to pay no attention to the court. Just as Flint's Judge Paul...
First was Yachtsman E. F. McDonald Jr. They were glad to see him. because they were short of medicine and supplies. But his radioed report attracted a storm of publicity to their hideout; next came copycatting settlers; then the journalists. One family came with an expectant mother, because they knew Dr. Ritter would be able to help her confinement. Most of the "settlers" were only visitors, but one fine day, when Dore and Dr. Ritter had been three years on Floreana. Satan herself arrived in their homespun Eden.

A serious complication develops when the gang finds that a young couple have taken shelter in their hideout, a deserted farmhouse. In that simple interior and a few exteriors (the grounds of the house, the countryside around it) is played a drama so compact and terrifying it makes other G-men stories seem like Mother Goose. Although the operations of Government agents provide initial tension, the real drama...
...mansion. Mrs. Blennerhassett died before any action was taken. During the Civil War, both Union and Confederate soldiers used the brushy island and the shelter of its huge old sycamores for a refuge. After that it was divided into small farms. In the 20th Century bootleggers made it a hideout. When he was a boy, Amos Kilgore Gordon of Parkersburg, W. Va. used to visit his grandfather's farm on Blennerhassett Island. He remembers swimming out into the river with his brother to collect driftwood logs washed down by the Johnstown Flood. When he grew up, he went...
