While at their coffee on the veranda
Satan raised a commotion In the COM
pound near the beach gate. and SheI-
don finally rescued a mauied and
frightened black and dragged him on
the porch for Interrogation.
The black drew a scrap Of note
paper from under his belt and passed
1t over. Sheldon scanned II hurriedly.
"It's from Boucher" he explained.
'the fellow who took Packard's place,
Packard was the one l told you about
who was killed by his boats crew. he
says that Port Adams crowd Is out
fifty of them, in big canoesEand camp
ing on his beach. They've killed half
a dozen Of his pigs already and seem
to be looking for trouble. And he's
afraid they may n with the If

"In which case?' she queried.
"In which case Billy Pape will be
compelled to send Boucher's successor.
It's Pape's station. you know. l wish

He smiled and shook his head.
'"Then you'd better take my men
along" she advised. They're good
shots, and they're not afraid Of any
~thing-except Utami. and he's afraid
of ghosts"
The big bell was rung. and fifty black
boys carried the whaleboat down to
the water. The regular boats crew
manned her. and Matauares and three
other Tahitians. beited with cartridges
and armed with rifles. sat In the stern
sheets. where Sheldon stood al the

Joan said wistfully as the boat showed

"I'm as good as a man." she urged.
"You really are needed here" he re-
piled. There's that Lunga crowd;
they might reach the coast right here
and. with both Of us absent, rush the
plantation. Goodby. Well get back
in the morning some time. It's only
twelve miles"
When Joan started to return to the
house she was compelled to pass
among the boat carriers. and one Of
them stepped up to her. In the dark
ness she could not make him out.
"What nameY" she asked sharply.
''What name belong your

She remembered him as one Of the
