The vast cumulus clouds which floated high and snow-bright witts dove-colored and amethyst ;>adows during the heat ofthe day, darkened toward evening and sank of their own weight to the horizon.

It was somewhere along this ree! that Captain Wong Bo and his junior partner Mr. Flint had planred their barratry. Te time was at nand, and according to Wong Bo the soouer now the better. Flint held out for wrecking the ship by daylight but was overrules Wong Bo did not argue the matter.

Tw> passengers occupied with the care of the menagerie and etigrossed in each other would never notice that the course of the ship upon which they traveled had been altered a Point or two, Both, as a matter of fact, were ex- traordinarfly ignorant of seacraft. They did not know that the weather Was making up for premature rain, They did not know that the shred of blue smoke ahead and on the star- board-bows was the smoke of a little voleano that had once risen out of the sea with volcanic: noises that Were audible at the distance of a thousand miles and had subsided. and through the ages with the help of erosion, climate and sea-born séeds,.made a little island home for itself. ‘ If they gave the smoke a thought, they thought that it was the smoke of a far-off stean.er. ‘HE reef which’ paralleled the course of the Boldero, not of course the superstructure of the coral-builders but the more solid yol- canic substructure, had perhaps risen from the ocean bottom in com- pany with the volcano. It was not, of course, continuous. There were many breaks, deep and wide passes through which several ships could have moved abreast, and a man who steéred for it at a right angle might miss it altogther. But approached by a long diago- nal which made a narrow angle of the ship’s course and the reef-struc- ture itself you were hound to score a hit, The Boldero was old, she would crack lize au egg, and in addition the sea-cocks would be opened. Exceyt for Wong 80 and Flint and the officers and the crew of the Boldero, who were doubly to be de- pended on, Wong Bo and Flint for reasons too obvious to mention and the officers and the crew first be- cause they had rot been told what was g.inz to take place, ana second because t'.ey were Chinese with a preternatural instinct for keeping their owa counsel, fhe only wit- nesses to the impending ang intend ed disaster, would be Ivy and Bow- ers (who would perish) sea birds and the “ings that swim in ‘he cea, About five o'clock Ivy and Bowers could see for themselves that the smoke off the starboard-bow did not come from the funnel of a steamer, but from a deep purple cone shaped like a widely opened, inverted fen, In this discovery the pas:engers took only a passing interest. If they had taken a little more interes. and asked a few questions of Flint or Captain Wong Bo, they would have discovered that the volcano *’as part of a small island which because of its shape (it seemed that » had body and four legs and a head and even some*hing like the stemp of a tail) was called Tiger Island. And if they had learnec this, they would in the immediate future have been spared much toil and anxiety. To a vast height the western hort- zon below which the high peake of Borneo had sunk during the day was piled with huge fantastic tormations of black clouds. When the sun had gone down behind these, they were not penetrated here and there as usual by shafts and splashes of col- o¥. 3etween the setting of the sun an night there was only a short twinkle of twilight. Aftet dinner the usual rub‘ers of bridge were not played. Captain Wong Bo did not like the !<ok o1-the weather. It looked like iain, The | glass was low [f they cared to goon deck, they would see that the stars were beiny extinguished one by one and in clusters. Navigation in these waters, Cap- tain Wong Bo explained, was not easy, and his place was on the bridge. That it would rain and heav- fly before morning he was almost certain, and he advised the passen- gers for once to sleep below. But they would not, On deck the heat was sufficiently oppressive, When the rain actually did come, they said, there would be plenty of time to go below, and, who could know, maybe it would ve a cold rain, (Copyright, 1934, by Gouverneur Morris) Tomorrow, Wong 6o sends his first officer on a sinister errand, Notice To Subscribers Please be prompt in paying the carrier who delivers your paper.
