TIvE MINUTES later he was
- placed In q cabin with bare
walls OF Sheet iron, the
only light entering by q
tiny portfolio.
A japanese sailor, with drawn
knife, stood over Hictansr lying on
the iron floor, and he believed he was
to be killed. The sailor spoke several
words and was answered from with
out.
He leaned over the prisoner and
Gdroitly cut the cords around his
body. They released his legs. only
leaving untouched two chains which
tied Hietapor's wrists together behind
his back.
Before the prisoner could imagine
what was happening the sailor
sprang out OF the cabin, whose door
closed loudly behind him.
Hietaner stood up. He had barely
recovered his sang froid when he saw
two Jets Of water squirting into the
cabin from two openings in the wall.
II was soon filled. And. free TO walk
about in his prison, but with shackel
ed hands, Hictaner found himself in
the element indispensable to his life.
Knowing that Hictaner could not
stay more than foTty-sight hours out
side the water, Admiral Okosinaa had
directed 4 sort of water ballast to be
hastily built. Within this watery
room he counted on keeping HictAner
a prisoner while waiting for the
World Congress to cut short the fate
OF him who had made the world
trembie and who now Il held in his
power.
