Bob's face as the search was ended, and it
was in hopeless, mechanical sort of way that
he gazed around the harbor, his countenance
changing suddenly as his eyes rested on
small black object near the shore to the left.
"There's the water keg! The wind blew it
so far over that Gomez, if he saw it, probably
concluded it wasn't worth the trouble of pick
ing up"
There was nothing that could have been left
by the men that would have had such value
to the boys as the contents of that small keg
and sense of security came over all as they
realized that their greatest want would now
be provided for, at least during some days

started out at rapid walk, and he
did not slacken his pace but once until they
arrived at the little harbor.
The one halt they made was at their old
camp on the open square of sands The trees
to which had been attached the shelter so wan
tonly destroyed by Gomez, were but slightly
scorched, and the empty keg remained as left
when the contents were wasted. Inasmuch as
there was nothing on the cleared place to
burn, it presented no signs of the fiery tor
rent, and loked SO bright and cheerful that the
boys would have established their headquar
ters there at once, if the enemy had only sue
ceeded in getting away from the key.
"If they do make out to sail their raft so
far across the bay that they can't get back
we'll camp here until we get chance to
leave, for it is the best point from which to
signal a vessel" Bob said.
On their arrival at the harbor there could
be seen evidence of the enemy having camped
for the night. but nothing had been left be-
hind. They had taken with them all the pro
visions, and even the mainsail of the Jaauita
which the boys hoped might have been left
since it could be of but little service on the
raft.
The hatchet which Bob had dropped when
he started across the inlet was found, and
this was most valuable acquisition to their
scanty outfit, although at the time they did
not look upon it exactly in that light.
There was a shade of disappointment on
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-18

and there was no hesitation or attempt to
eyade the dangerous passage.
The boys tied their clothing into bundles,
fastened them around their necks and plunged
in, swimming obliquely across in order that
they might not be exposed to the view of those
near the raft when they landed.
Certainly fortune favored them in this at
tempt. The channel was crossed as readily as
if they had been in still water, and five min
utes later they were safely on the other side,
dressing themselves within the shade of the
bushes

By this time the boys had reached the ex-

standing on the brink of the deep but narrow
channel The flames were sweeping entirey
across the island, and every one was watching
anxiously to see if they would cover the two
narrow arms or strips of land that formed the
harbor -,

tone of determination, "and it is absolutely

risk of sharks, and make our way down the

undressing, and Dudley, with slight show OF
hesitation, followed his example.

was not unusual to see sharks further inland

hope OF escape.

Company and It's officers and hired as

round about had been pumped dry OF
cats. You couldn't have found another
one of thu animals with a fine -toothed
comb-not a solitary cat. All had been
swept into the remorseless NAV OF the
Oriental Cat Company (Limited).
Some days passed without any move

were there as thick as beaux around a
pretty girl, or mosquitoes in a Jersey

l~lercest and hungriest rodents that ever
pestered a community az that.
Nothing. apparently, was safe from
their attacks. They invaded cellars,
stores, warehouses, public buildings,

rich and the tenements OF the poor

find anything worth eating or worth de-
