statement
"The stan az Cocos Island were aware
that they were under the protection Of the

the fact became apparent that protection
had been withdrawn. because wireless
messages were not answered. We had an
idea that this was part Of a large strategic
scheme. and consequently no uneeaslness
was felt until n foreign warship was seen
bearing down upon the island. There is a
lagoon on the north side. which provides
an approach only for small boats. Large
steamers cannot enter on account OF the
irregularity OF tho channel and the dan

had been accustomed to going home
nights.
There came up, however, trouble
among the sluice workers. 1t arose
over the refusal of Dunbar to pay
them a certain rebate agreed on.
They refused to work He claimed
that they had violated their contract
and were not entitled to the money.
These men claimed they were being
robbed and quit the job, but hung
around making some ugly threats.
On this account Bert and Mark
consented to remain nights near the
plant, and quite comfortably estab-
lished themselves in a little building
that had been used to store dyna-
mite in the early stages of the con-
struction work. They would go to
town alternate evenings and did their
own cooking.
One afternoon Bert was returning
from. the village when he heard a
yell for help. He was amazed to trace
it to the side of the rough road, ap-
parently beneath it's surface. Final
ly he discovered an old man who had
fallen into an unused pit. He helped
him out, scared and bruised.

brush and not an egg cracked or
broken.
The old farmer was delighted. He

poached. Bert was the cook that
morning, and after the meal set the
basket containing an egg supply for
week ahead on sheltered shelf on
the shaded end Of the house outside.
1t was about two hours later that
Bert and Mark, experimenting some
work at the dam, were startled by
the sound of a violent commotion.
They noticed little way up the road
an automobile containing half a
dozen young ladies. 1t was one that
Dunbar frequently hired from local
garage Then at a distance they
noted Dunbar himself.
He had evidently driven up to the
plant, had gone into the Office and
coming out had been confronted by
a party of the dissatisfied workmen.
About dozen of these were chasing
him now.

These and other vicious and
furious shouts followed the fugitive.
He ran for his life, his face ashen
pale and terrified. He lodged behind
the little cabin where Bert and Mark
slept nights AS he came into view
again an amazing spectacle was re-
vealed.
