But he dreaded the moment when Ivy should say that she was thirsty and he would have to confess that he had not thought to bring water! Suppose they reached the volcanie island toward which they were head- ed and found no water? This was not likely, but was within the possibilt- ties. He became unduly despondent, and then he remembered that there were sure to be coconut palms, and this thought cheered him, ‘HE coconut is not an occasional crop.

Anyone in the vicinity of the fiyfng fragments and splinters might have been most seri- ously burt. The Boldero, arrested in her sink- Ing. now began to make up for lost time. From the ship to the raft was now no more than a big step. Ivy, en- ecumbered by Helen, did not even need a helping band. “They cast loose, and for a time, not wishing to be anywhere near the Boldero when she made her final plunge, Bowers paddied frantically with the blade haif of a broken oar He made his offing and the breeze, strong enough at moments to ruffle the surface of the sea. caught them aud had soon carried them beyond any possible reach of suction. Bowers, his back to the Boldero, steered for the volcano. But Ivy kept him posted. Presently she said: “You had better look now, if you ‘want to see the iast of her.” The Boldero was going down by the head and the end came very sud denly Thé ship's stern rose until the pro petier showed half clear of the sea. and the bows sank until the fore castie-head would never be anything to anyone but a memory of a great happiness. Thereafter the Boldero seemed father to melt away into nothing than to sink. ‘TH the Boldero afloat, it would have been .asy enough to est mate the progress of the raft, but with nothing upon which to triangu fate vision, it seemed as if the raft ‘were standing still. - The volcano on Tiger island had almost disappeared in the brightness of the young day. It was scorching bot and the breeze was more a hope than a fact. The escaped menagerie, ar, horn. tooth and talon had van ished completely, and Bowers’ occa: sional efforts to propel the raft witb the broken oar did not meet witb any great success. It seemed as if the raft were ambitious to spin like @ top. Although Bowers showed a cheer. fal face he was up to the ears in in all stages of development, from flower to seed. Each nut stays upon the tree for twelve or thirteen months, and the half-developed green nuts contain a water which is sweeter end more refreshing than the real thing, and which may be drunk, in substitution, for six months or more. Ivy said she was thirsty and Bow- ers made his confession. “There was plenty of time,” he said, “to think about everything,’ but | just didn’t, and all { can do is to be ashamed and sorry.” “Why isn’t it just as much my fault as it is yours?” said Ivy. And of course it was, but the man would not admit it. “1 am afraid,” he said, “that we shall be mightily uncomfortable and dry before we et ashore.” “How do you know,” she asked, “that we'll find water when we do get there?” “There will be coconuts,” he said. “There isn't any newly made land in this part of the world, and all the old land grows coconuts, The nuts are washed overboard and drift all over the world, and wherever-they are washed ashore into suitable con- ditions of soil and climate’ they sprout and befriend man “But | brought along a chart. Let’s have a look at that, and maybe we can find out something about the place we're heading for.” He had folded the chart twice and weighted it with a gun-case. He now unfolded it, and had presently lo cated the one small body of land which bad upon it an oceanograph- er’s symbolization of an active vob cano. “This must be it” he said. “No wonder Big Ben and Lurline made for it.” “I wonder why it is called Tiger island?” asked Ivy. “For some reason, you may be sure, that has nothing to do with tigers. Maybe from its shape. See, it bas four distinct legs and a head. Maybe somebody thinks it looks like a tiger.” (Copyright, 1934, by Goxvernent Morris) The voyagers make a landing, tomorraw.
