He had greatly r ed the poundings on the door and the shoutings. If by any chance the door should give, he had his re- Volver. The passengers would not ¢ross the threshold alive. “So far everything had worked beautifully. There had been no hitch 4n lowering the_boats. The ship had mo* stuck on the reef. Her reversed @ngine had pulled her back so that wp would sink in deep water. Flint had broadcast the most ‘plausible alibis all over the Java and the China Seas. The lowered boats Were manned and loaded and even Row the remaining members of the ¢rew were going over the side. Not wishing to take any chances what- ever with the trapped passengers the boats which had nc’ been low- ered had been stove in beyond repair. In a few moments he and Flint ‘Would go over the side and the boats would cast off and shape a course for Borneo. It was true that there was ®@ breeze against them, and sails would be useless, but there were plenty of oars and plenty of strong arms and backs. At this point in his pleasant rev- @sie. Wong Bo was suddenly con- fronted by his wireless operator. Fiint’s tace was dark. His heart was beating like a triphammer. “] can’t find the passeigers,” he shouted. “Where are they?” ‘Wong Bo simply jerked a thumb toward the deor behind him. “You promised,” said Flint. “More better this way.” said Wong Bo, “Merited punishment for loose actions on respectable ship.” He chuckled. HELL with you!” cried Flint, and he struck his captain a ter- fific,-perfectly timed, upward blow on ‘the point of the chin. Wong Bo ‘Wilted to the deck. Pitnt sprang for the bridge ladder. ‘The first officer came running. But Flint, all thought of the passengers Jost in a welter of fury and a passion for vengeance, kicked his pursuer a terrible downward, stamping kick in the face, and went on uy the lad- der with the speed and alacrity of a monkey. When Wong Bo came to, his first officer, bleeding at the nose, was bending over him, and in his ears ‘were two distinct sounds: the pow- erful ringing blows of an ax falling @pon tough wood, and tuc drone and whine of the ship’s wireless. It was ‘the iatter sound which cleared his brain. He struggled to a sitting position, to his knees and then to his feet. He gave an order in Chinese. The first Officer drew his revolver and placed himself in the most advantageous Position for pot-shots at the passen- gers in the event of their breaking down the door. But that would take time, the door was thick and tough. “Wong Bo climbed laboriously to Abe bridge and made his way to the “wireless-rcom. Flint'’s fingers were his boat, and when he saw that the first officer had also come over the side, he gave the order to cast loose beasts, aware of their peril, could be heard the ringing blows of Bowers’ ax. The boats crawled away from the sinking ship like many-legged* beetles; and when at last Bowers had cut and smashed a way to the deck, they had vanished in the darkness. ‘AIN Wong Bo nursed gloomy foreboding thoughts and an ach- ing jaw. In the second boat the first officer pampered a swollen nose which bled for many hours. Somewhere or other a bulkhead must have given way and the water which was pouring into the Boldero found a general level in the holds of the ship, for she was no longer down by the head. She had lost her list and was settling on an even keel. ' The first thing obviously was to find or devise some means of keep-: ing dryly after the ship had submerged, although Wong Bo bad seen to it that none of the re maining boats could be put in shape with the means and the time at hand, he had overlooked a liferaft—a small rectangular platform set upon two hollow circular floats with pointéd ends. It was no great trick to rig a block and tackle, cut the lashings by which the raft was held in place, and get it overboard. And while Bowers was en- gaged upon this business, Ivy busied herself with the menagerie, The forward cargodeck was al most awash, and it is impossible to describe the frenzy of the creatures variously imprisoned. That the wretched things must have a chance for their lives was as clear to Ivy as if they had been persons. Some could fly and others could swim, and she had read and believed that the brute instinct will always choose the shortest course to the nearest land. It was no longer dark. Far off to- ward Borneo three black specks marked the ‘progress of Wong Bo and his piratical crew. To the east- ward, nearer and more important, the inverted fan of the volcano on Tiger Island showed clearly. Here and there the thin pale smoke which rose lightly from the crater was touched with rose-color. One by one, Ivy opened the cages containing birds. These, for the most part, upon being liberated, rose and flew in ever-widening circles, then Presently straightened out their flights, and headed straight for the volcano which was the nearest land. Whatever Ivy’s fate was to be, she was determined that Helen. should share it, and before opening the monkeys’ cages, she shut her own pet into a cage recently tenanted by a pair of pheasants. a The monkeys were loath to wet themselves, but when at last. one, more because he had lost his balance than for any other reason, went over- board with a loud scream, the others followed—also screaming. The snakes took to the water with- out ‘hesitation and swam strongly. toward the island. When Bowers came upon the scene the cages and box-stalls which had contained members of the deer family were empty, and the two half grown honey-bears brought up the Tear of a straggling procession of des perate brutes all headed for a tiny bit of solid land and swimming for their lives. Of all McLeod’s far-sought and far-fetched collection there remained on the Boldero only the tigers frenzied with fear. (Copyright, 1934, by Gowsernenr Moria) Tomorrow, Flint makes a part- ing gift.
