An angry murmur arose, and the
blacks surged restlessly. The muz-

the hips. Joan was pressing the

fuse. A Snider went of with the roar
of a bomb gun, and Sheldon heard u

him. At the same moment Joan flung

blacks. They scattered back in too

"And so it was all settled easily

on the veranda, drinking coffee. The
whaleboat was being carried into It's

chain through the links OF the irons.
Gogoo,ny was given a lecture for his
mutinous conduct and locked up for the
afternoon. Then Sheldon rewarded the
plantation hands with an afternoons
holiday. and when they had with
drawn from the compound permitted
the Port Adams men to descend from
the trees. And all afternoon he and
Joan loafed in the cool Of the veranda
and watched them diving down and
emptying their sunken canoes OF the
sand and rocks. 1t was twilight when
they embarked and padded away with
a few broken paddles. A breeze had
sprung up, and the Flibberty Gibbet
had already sailed for Lunga to return
the runaways.
Sheldon was back in the plantation
experimenting the building Of a bridge
when the schooner Malakula ran in
close and dropped anchor. Joan watch
ed the taking in of sail and the swing
ing out Of the boat with sailors inter
est, and herself met the two men who
came ashore
They seemed awkward and constrain-
ed in her precence. and she caught first
one and then the other looking at her
with secret curiosity. She felt that
they were weighing hor. appraistng- her
and for the first time the anomalous
position she occupied on Berande sank
sharply home to her. On the other
hand, they puzzled her.
The elder one, Morgan, was huge
! man, bronzed and mustached, with a
deep bass voice and an almost gutteral
speech, and the other, Raj, was slight
and e1teminate. with nervous hands
and watery washed out gray eyes.
She watched Sheldon closely when
he arrived and OWNED that he was not
particularly delighted to see them. But
see them he must, and 80 pressing was
the need that he led the two men into
the stuffy Office. Later in the afternoon
she asked Lalaperu where they had
gone.

Sheldon explained. And he had to
drop his mate off to take hold OF
things at Ugi-that's where l lost o.

sort Of sailors the niggers are"
She nodded her head judicially and
he asked for second helping OF
timed beef. not because he was hum
gry, but because be wanted to watch
her slim. firm fingers. They were
brown with tan and looked exceeding
]y boyish. Then. and without effort,
the concept came to him. Yes, that
was it. He had stumbled upon the
clew to her tantalizing personality.
The fingers, sunburned and boyish,
told the story. He had tried to treat
with her as a woman when she was
not q woman. She was a mere girl.
and a boyish girl at that, with sun
burned fingers that delighted in doing
what boys fingers did, with body
and muscles that liked swimming and
violent endeavor Of all sorts. with a
mind that was daring but that dared
no farther than boys adventures and
that delighted in rifles and revolvers.
Stetson hats and sexless camara-
derie with men.
Somehow, as he pondered and watch
ed her, it seemed as If he sat in church
at home listening to the choir boys
chanting. She reminded him Of those
boys. or their voices, rather. The same
sexless quality was there. In the body
Of her she was woman. In the MIND
Of her she had not grown up. She
had not been exposed to ripening in
huences of that sort. She had had nc
mother. Won, her father. native ser
wants and rough island life had con-
stituted her training. Horses and
rides had been her toys. camp and
trail her nursery. From what she had
told him her seminary days had been
an exile. devoted to study and to cease
less longing for the wild riding and
swimming Of Hawaii. "A boys train
ing and a boys point Of view!
Well, there was only one thing FOL
him to do. He must meet her on bel
own basis of boyhood and not make
the mistake of treating her as a wo
man. He wondered II he could love
the woman she would be when bel
nature awoke. and be wondered If he
could love her Just as she was and
himself wake her up. After all, what
ever it was. she had come to oil quite a
large place in his life. as he had dis
covered that afternoon while scanning
the sea between the squalls. Then be
remembered the accounts Of Berande
and the cropper that was coming and
scowled.
