Captain Midnight and the Flame Fiend
11 pp · adventure; aviation
Captain Midnight [Captain Jim "Red" Albright]

Captain Midnight tests his latest invention—a compressed water bomb designed to fight fires—just as a raging forest blaze breaks out in the Northwest timber country, giving him the perfect opportunity to prove its worth. But when the flames are mysteriously extinguished, he spots a figure in an asbestos suit deliberately spreading the fire, and a tense pursuit into the woods leads him to Kit Kimball, a young timber-land owner caught between a dangerous arsonist and the unwanted attentions of her late father's rival's son. With the real fire-bug still at large and clearly willing to kill to finish the job, Captain Midnight settles in to stand watch—only to find himself walking straight into a deadly trap.

When Bailey's vessel flees into the fog-shrouded waters, Albright takes to the air in his seaplane to locate their hidden stronghold—only to discover the legendary Thieves' Harbor, a centuries-old pirate refuge bristling with shore batteries. With reinforcements en route, Albright devises a daring scheme: disguise the Coast Guard destroyer as a fishing vessel, slip into the harbor, and lure Bailey's entire fleet out into open water where the trap can spring.
