bered seeing a few of those same belts
among our "trade" goods; but | could
not make out what the addition was
until Gore got up and walked away,
with some light, half-jesting remark.
lsola sat still, looking at her new adorn-
ment. My eyes followed hers, and saw,
with something of a shock. that it was
a revolver holster, made like ours, and
doubtless filled like ours. But reminded
myself that that was precaution which
should have been taken long ago-mOre
as a formality than anything else. Most
people in the Bismarcks wear revolvers,
away from the settlements.
Dark came down before long, and we
anchored for the night. Gore told me
that we We're very near the pearl island
indicated by the arrow on Schouten's
rock and that we had better get the div
ing gear in order. That it was the island
mentioned in certain Of Schoutens diaries
as "Rica de Perlas" he did not doubt
The arrow, cut with infinite care to GER
tain point of the compass, showed its
direction clearly, and there was no other
land between.
"Why do you think he made memo
randum in such curious way?" asked
1sola, as we were busy overhauling the
diving gear on deck after tea.
Because" answered Gore, heaving up
a great metal helmet to look at the valve,
"he was afraid that something might
happen which, as matter of fact, did
happen"
"What?"
Loss of his ships there. He lost them
both-one burned on the way to Batavia,
and one contiscated with everything on
board. You see, Schouten was an old
sailor; he'd probably been shipwreclled
in his time. and knew how difficult it was
for sailor, especially in those days of
endless voyages, to keep any of his goods
together. He insured himself against
loss or forgetting by his plan. And vet,

can wait at the rock, and show it to Cor

he spoke little apart, -"keep your eyes

Right" | said.
l saw them pull off in the boat with
couple of boys, and resigned myself to
wait for Cores return. The crew, how
ever, seemed to me to be nothing worse
than a little lazy and stupid, and that
they always were.
THE island was small, as have said,
and so fiat that one could easily see all
over it, | saw Isola and Gore walk to-
gether to a spot some few hundred yards
away stop, and bend over something, ex-
amning it. A little later Gore returned.
"All right" he hailed, as he came down
to the beach. "You can go as soon as
I'm on board"
l thought all these precautions rather
supertiuous, considering the way our
rough black crew had behaved up to that
time The dinghy ferried me across the
lagoon, and left me on the beach.
Isola was standing by sort of rockery
of coral-a pile of white boulders that
looked like huge Turkish sponges sud-
denly turned to stone. She had got some
flowers, and was trying to place them in
her hair.
Its so short" she said piteously. Il
wish hadn't had to cut it. 1t makes me
look so hideous.

like that, and your curs are lovely"
"Are they" said Isola, pulling them
outabout herface. "lm glad you think So.

consolation | could find.
But somehow, when looked at the sea
and sky, their glory seemed to have faded.
In that moment hail came across the
water from Red Bob--who had voice
that would carry the better part of mile.
Hurry up!" it said. Getting late.
"Oh!" cried Isola, suddenly waking up.
How stupid and selfish am! Look,
this is it; it's really wonderful"
