If you give it bad food.

In the center of the BAR where the
water was a trife over knee-deep,

passed with a violent swirl between

A long bony snout, fringed on either
side by row of lateral teeth, was
flung up into view.
"Sawfish!" said Blake, and he waded
on across the bar without further COM

Miss Leslie had been on the point
OF fainting. The tone of Blake's voice
revived her instantly.
There were no more scares. A few
minutes later they waded out upon a
stretch of clean sand on the south
OF the river. Before them the beach
lay In flattened curve, which at the
far end hooked sharply to the left and
appeared to terminate at the foot of
the towering limestone cliffs OF the
headland. A mile or more inland the
river jungle edged in close to the
cliffs; but from there to the beach the
forest was separated from the wall of
rock by little sandy plain, covered
with creeping plants and small palms.
The greatest width of the open space
was hardly more than a quarter of a
mile.
Blake paused for moment at high
tide mark, and Winthrope instantly
squatted down to nurse his ankle.

from the mangrove swamp

trousers were smeared to the thigh

The three were tossed upon an uninhab-

because of his roughness, became a hero
as preserver OF the helpless pair. The
Englishman was suing for the hand of
Miss Leslie. Blake started to swim back
to the ship to recover what was left.
Blake returned safely. WINTHROP wasted
his last match on a cigarette, for which
he was scored by Blake. Their first meal
was a dead fish. The trio started a ten
mile hike for higher land. Thirst at
