men, in obedience to his orders, were
diving under water. Harry turned to
the gunboat, and called to the men to
bring Sob Hay, the Interpreter, to the
side A minute later the man was nus
tied to the rail.
Tell that chief that We have got his
child safely on board" Harry shouted
Again and again the interpreter called
out. nut II was some time before he
could make the chief pay attention to
him. As the latter caught the pUrport
OF his words, his face changed at once,
and, after calling to his men to desist
from their search, his head sank on the
shoulder of one of the men supporting
him. and he evidently lost conscious
ness.
He is badly hurt, Dick; we had bet
ter get him on board, too. Old Horsiey
was wishing this morning that he had
something TO do beyond administering
doses of quinine to the men.
Taking the tiiler, he brought the boat
alongside the chief, and four of the
sailors, directed by Dick, gently raised
him from the water and laid him on the
bottom of the boat. Blood was flowing
freely from an ugly cash in his face,
and 1t was evident from the manner in
which his left arm hung limp as they
lifted him uD that either the shoulder
or the arm itself was broken.
oCb MN dlOuSSluG DIT once, ldQS,
Dick said. I expect he is more injured
than we see. The other fellows viii be
all right; they can all swim like fish,"
In Two or three minutes the injured
man was laid down under an awning
over the foredeck OF the cruiser, and
the surgeon at once came up.
How is the child, doctor?"
She is still insensible,' he said, but
she VIII soon be all right. 1 can't dis
cover any injury, and l think it likely
that it was the sudden shock, and per-
hapS a knock against the side of the
boat, that stunned her; for have no
doubt she could swim, small as she is.
This IS a much more serious affair; he
has an ugly cash in his temple his col
lar bone is broken, and" he went on,
as he passed his hands down the pa
tents side, he has two, if not more,
ribs broken
Well, we Will leave him to you, doc
tor; there are lot of these fellows IN
the water, and 1 suppose they must be
brought on board until we can get a
boat to take them ashore.
In a few minutes is Malays We're
brought TO the side, and the two canoes,
which were floating level with the
water, were towed up and fastened by a
rope TO the stern of the gunboat Even
when safely on deck, the two parties
were still so Infatuated that they had to
be separated and placed under guards
apart from each other. Three or four
had been killed by the Stabs of the
deadly krises, and their bodies could be |
seen floating astern. Several OF those |
rescued had wounds more or less Sc
we're.
We should not have much chance |
with those fellows in the water Mr.. |
Parkhurst." an old sailor said to Harry. |
No, indeed, Davis; they could swim |
would be very little good against those /
uSiy-looklnS kriseS. If we were to /
leave them to themselves they would
fight 10 the death; and, after all, it
was no ones fault in particular. Mr.
Balderson and L were watching them;
one was crossing the ships bow just
as the other came out from her side,
and they were into each other before
either had time to hold their boat up
That chap the doctor is bandaging
up was in nice taking about his
child, sir; it was lucky job that you
and Mr.. BalderSon happened to catch
sight of her"
Yes, poor little thing; it was only
just a glimpse we got of her face. but
as we were looking for her and ready
to dive it was enough"
Lucky we were inside the bar, Mr.
Parkhurst, or the sharks would have
had half the fellows"
4 did not think of it at the time.
Davis, and it would not have made any
difference if 1 had; we were only in the
water a couple of minutes. and the
Malays We're making noise enough to
brighten away any number of sharks
You will have the job of washing out
our trousers again-we had only put
them on clean half an hour before"
THAT amt no matter, sir, especially
if you go down and change at once; the
mud viii come out easy enough if I
leave them in a bucket of fresh water
for half an hour
The two midshiDmen Joined the
group OF officers who were standing
near the doctor; the latter had. on
closer examination, announced that
