ym WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1934, : a Chapter One Z00 SHIP HE 8. 8. Bolderd, Captain Wonk Bo, flyin Se Dy 1g the flag of the Chinese Republic, had put into the little port of Sinbao because of sickness on board. : The Boldero was of an ancient vintage. It seemed ine! anywhere at At the moment she was Carrying a mis- Cellaneous cargo of goods to Singapore ecial deck-cargo of birds, reptiles and mam- man coming within a hundred yards of the Boldero on a still day would have known as much. She reeked with menagerie smells. This was not the fault of Angus McLeod, who had col- lected the beasts upon order and speculation. He was a man to whom cleanliness and thri re ver i ‘wot fe had labored under a turitt bad ataiit side Me monlners and a very s mals. A blin cap. The two Chinamen whose duty it to keep the cages clean and #wWab down the forward cargo-deck Bhot which they were ranged, had Various disqualffications. ‘One of them was a lazy fellow who could not be driven, and the other Wh Afraid of everything but the fete birds. All reasonable persons Gre Afraid of tigers. But he was afraid also of the honey-bear and f trim and new. She was a tramp; she had no regular run. Upon the hint of remunerative cargo, Captain Wong Bo was ready to go redible that she had ever been any time. long it would be before the port doc- tor, whose launch was at the mo- ment parting company With the. customs-wharf, came aboard; and he was hoping that the message which Mr, Flint, the wireless oper- ator, was at that moment receiving and recording in the wireless-room, would be a message of good.omen. But when at last Mr... Flint marked Wong Bo, “we make daring escape in lifeboat.” His little fan put in an appearance, opened itself miraculously, and he fanned himself. ’ “Next event on program,” he said sententiously, “we ‘collect Insur- ance.” . The port doctor’s smart launch was making her swing for the foot of the accommodation ladder ‘where the Chinese sailor awaited her, boat- hook in hand. In addition to:the doc- tor, the launch contained another white man. Captain Wong Bo and Mr. Flint met them at the head of the ladder. Dr. Van Reuter was brisk, plump, manly, efficient, young, blond, smooth-shaven and_ effervescently Dutch. He reached the head of the ladder five steps ahead of his com- panion, and after a quick nod of greeting, said: , “Where is the sick man?” “This way, Doctor,” said Captain Wong Bo. “I think too damn sick. I think plitty soon him die.” “What seems to be the matter?” asked Van Reuter as they moved over toward the mattress where.Mc- Leod writhed in pain. The second white man had come aboard and looked ‘aout him with emerged from the wireless-room, the J curiosity. He was dark and “What seems to be the matter,” asked Van Reuter. even of the Hitle Rhesns monkeys. Th addition to these two visible Bandicaps, McLeod for three or four @aye had been suffering from an in- Vieitie handicap, which hurt him eruelly. It had started with a chill @. a night when the thermometer Woed at 102 degrees Fahrenheit. This chit had been followed by a gen- eral sense of abdominal discomfort, ‘There was a pain, but one could not pat one's finger on it. Tt was not so Wich one pain as an infinite number @ small itusive pains. Gradually these drew together into a focus on the right side of his abdomen and Father low down.

The message consisted of one word: “Holema,” the Chinese word for “How do you do.” Flint was American. One won- dered a little what he was doing un- cer the Chinese flag. He had a lean intelligent face with the prominent hooked nose of the adventurous. He had a lean, long, wiry build, and was probably much stronger than he looked. He was not more than twenty years old. While Captain Wong Bo read and digested the simple one-word mes- sage, Flint watched him with inquir ing eyes. But Captain Wong Bo did not seem to be in any hurry to elucidate, and presently Flint lost patience and said: “Well, how about it?” “You like danger?” can use it when I have to,” said int. “You like small boat, high wave?” “Sure,” said Flint. “Heap nice. Am I wrong, Captain, in thinking that the voyage in a small boat will be preceded by the shipwrecking of a large boat?” Flint’s voice had risen. The Chi- nese captain made a cautioning ges- ture with his right hand. “Not talk too damn loud,” he said. “All right,” said Flint, lowering his voice. “I'll be careful. When are we going to do it?” “Maybe ten days,” said Wong Bo, “maybe two weeks. When auspicious oceasion arrive you will step in wire less-room and send S O S message all over high seas.

He wore the usual tropic suit of white duck, but his garments were smartly cut and tailored. He did not wear the usual mangy white sneakers, or the ill- shapen high-heeled canvas shoes which are kept white with pipe clay. He wore white buckskin tennis shoes with a broad band of brown leather across the instep. He had the look of a man whc has things done for him, who has plenty of money, and is free with ft. Among the small group of Chinese officers, Flint very naturally stood out as the only other white man. The stranger came forward with a quick friendly smile. He jerked a thumb- toward McLeod’s menagerie, “Those yours?” he asked. “If I had anything that smelled the way they do,” said Flint, “I'd have drowned it long ago. I’m the wireless.” “American of course,” said the nger. “So am I.” y name is Flint,” said Flint. “And what are you doing under the Chinese flag, taking orders from a Chinese captain?” “Well, you see,” said Flint, “I am in on the lay. I’m part owner.” “Glad to know you, Flint,” said the stranger, extending his hand. “My name is Bowers.” Flint was possesse1 with a sudden boyish excitement which was very becoming to him. “A second more,” he said, “and I’d have told you if you hadn’t told me. I've seen your picture in magazines. Why, you're famous. Everybody knows you. You’re Harvey Bowers, | the big-game hunter.” The young man’s enthusiasm was a little embarrassing to Bowers, and he made an abrupt change of ‘sitb- ject.
