The Pale Blonde of Sands Street

"I want to be ALONE with you!"

Johnny Smith looked into Katie Morrison’s eyes. A quiver ran across her flesh. She whispered back: "I’d like to be alone with you, too.” Johnny grinned and took her in his arms. She fitted herself shamelessly against him . . .

Johnny picked Katie up on Sands Street near the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He was a sailor with twelve hours’ leave. There were five things he wanted to do in those twelve hours. One of them was to stay with a girl — any girl.

Then he found Katie and something wonderful happened to them. Happiness was in their grasp but they quarreled and Johnny vanished. From that day on Katie sought Johnny on ships throughout the world, never giving up their dream that might have been. A tender, earthy tale of a passion that would not die!
