FLA, JUNE 14, 1912, when the radish walls were thick around them did they venture to con- tinue their downward path. At last one day, when Catty was leading as usual, he again struck his pick through the radish wall. He ut. tered a cry of dismay, fearing a sec- ' ond inrush of the sea. But instead light and fresh air flowed in, grateful indeed to those who had lived so long in a radish-steeped atmosphere. “We have arrived!” cried Catty, grasping his companions’ bands. “This is the end!” { Eagerly they enlarged the aperture, | and crawled cautiously out. Behold, on every hand was the sea! The rad- ish root had emerged somewhere to the south of India, and they were rest- ing on a little island of radish in the midst of the Indian ocean. At first i they were terrified, but Catty encour- fl aged them. “We can remaln here a little time,” he said. “No doubt a ship will come ¢ to take us off.” f His words were brave, but the sus- pense was great. The radish tip af-| forded but a slippery resting place; they were in considerable fear of the sharks, which they could see some- times through the clear waters; and | the radish here and there, enfeebled by the borings, crumbled, and they | saw large bits of it swept off by the waves.
