more than twice as much, she con-
cluded that she had thrown them in
the ashes. She telephones to the street
cleaning department, and was told to
60 to the dump where the ashes from
her street would be emptied. The
men in charge of the dump were or
dered to look for the missing property.

prised and delighted to discover that
they had not only looked for it, but

rope added to her security. BY piling
stones before the entrance to the cave

from the wreck Of the boat and some
fallen tree branches on the shore, she
made sort of a barrier to it, not a
barrier that would have kept out of

buried boat lay in the sand some rods
distant from the nearest tree There
was absolutely no shelter from the
fierce heat of the tropic sun. She was
not yet fully accumstomed to 1t, and
indeed perhaps she never would be
able to endure it without some sort

head. And then with her watchful
friend by her side she descended the
beach to the boat and began to dig.
1t was hard and very tedious work.
With the fiat make-shift shovel in the

was almost impossible to lift the sand.
Yet she attacked the task resolutely
and persevered sturdily for lcng
