Chapter I. SIGN OF THE SCARAB
IT just happened that a peculiar incident took place a moment or so before the great ocean liner sailed
from Southampton, and because of this no one observed the arrival of a remarkable man with bronze
features. The bronze man, via another gangway, slipped to his stateroom unnoticed. He remained there,
in seclusion, throughout the remainder of the voyage to New York. And so nobody realized that Doc
Savage was on the liner.

But what they did knowтАФand talk aboutтАФwas the presence of the two dark-skinned men with the
copper tube. The fellows looked like Egyptians. They had come hurrying up the gangplank at the very
last second, almost.

Preceding them, there had been various sorts of rackets. A police car, siren working, had drawn up to
the pier. It had been followed by another.

Between this and yet still two more police cars that followed had been the taxicab containing the two
Egyptians and four other men who looked like New York bodyguards for an old-time gangster.

The two Egyptians hurried from the cab with the long copper cylinder held between them. It did not
appear to be heavy, and yet each man clung to the thing as though distrustful of allowing the other full
possession of it. The four blocky-jawed bodyguards formed a cordon around them as they came on
shipboard.
