The tide was beginning to run in,
so we needed very little way on us.
pointed out Samson to the captain,
and, following the "king's" instruc-
tons, told him to steer straight for
the negro. Samson stood there and
called:
"All right, sar. Keep right on.
You'll see your way in minute"
And, sure enough, when we were
barely fifty feet, away from the shore,
and there seemed nothing for it but to
run dead aground, low down through
the floating mangrove branches we
caught sight of narrow CLEAN start
ing inland, and in another moment or
two our decks were swept with foliage
as the Flamingo rustled in, like a
bird to cover, through an opening in
the bushes barely twice her beam !;

the brush, was a lane of water which

huge welcome. keep a-going after
me-" and he started trotting along the
creek side.
Samson went trotting along the
twisting banks, we cautiously feeling
our way after him, for something like
a quarter Of mile; and then, com
ing round sudden bend, the creek
opened out into sort of basin. On
the left bank stood two large palmetto
shanties. Samson indicated that
there was our anchorage; and then,
as we were almost alongside of them,
the CHEEKY halloos of a well-known
voice hailed US. 1t was the "king; :"
and as I answered his welcome the
morning suddenly sang for me-for
there, too, was Calypso at his side.
The water ran SO deep at the
creeks side that we were able to moor
the Flamingo right up against the
bank, and when 1 had jumped ashore
and greeted my friends, and the liking"
had executed a brief characteristic

of having hidden pirates creek in
the family, he unfolded his plans, or
rather that portion Of them that was
necessary at the moment.

CHAPTER vi.
An Old Enemy

Charlie Webster's laconic note was
naturally our chief topic over break
fast. "Tobias escaped-just heard he
is on your island. Watch out. Will
follow in a day or two" The "king"
read it out, when / handed him the
note across the table.
"Your friend writes like true man
of action" he added, like Caesar
and also the electric telegraph. We
must send word to Sweeney to be on
the lookout for him. / will send Sam
son the Redoubtable with message
to him this morning. Meanwhile we
will smoke and think"
Then for the next hour the king"
thought-aloud while Calypso and /
sat and listened, occasionally throw
ing in a parenthesis of comment or
suggestion. 1t was evident, we all
agreed, that Calypso had been right.
1t had been Tobias and none other
whose evil eye had sent her so breath
less back to me, waiting in the shadow
of the woods; and it was the same
evil eye that had fallen vulture-like
on her golden doubloon exposed on
Sweeney's counter.
1t was clear that there were such
coins on the island in somebody's pos
session. Then, when he had watched
Calypso on her way home-and with
out any doubt been the spectator of
our meeting at the edge of the wood
though we had been unable to catch
sight of him-there would of course
be a suspicion In his mind that my
quest might at least be approaching
success, and that his ancestral mill
lions might be almost in my hands.
That there might be some other
treasure on the island with which nei-
Their he nor his grandfather had any
concern would not occur to him, nor
would it be likely to trouble him If 1t
did. My presence was enough to
prove that the treasure was his-for
was it not his treasure that I was
after? Logic irrefutable! How was
he to know that all the treasure so
far discovered was that modest hoard
-unearthed, as I heard, in the gar
den-the present whereabouts of
which was known only to Calypso. The
king" had interrupted himself at this
point of argument.
'By the way, Calypso, where is it?''
he asked Unexpectedly, to the sudden
| confusion of both of us. isn't it time
you revealed your mysterious Alad,
din's cavew
| At the word "cave" the submerged
rose in Calypso's cheeks almost came

"Cave" she countered manfully
"who said it was caveY
"It was merely Q figure Of speech
which-if / may say so, my dear
might apply with equal fitness, say
to a silk stocking"
And Calypso laughed through an
| other tide Of rose-cOlor.

in the cabin at my meals. But of
course he knew that / had quite an
other valuation of him, and as our
eyes met 1 beckoned to him to draw
closer to me.

treasure"

"Quite true, Tom" / continued
'you shall see my treasure tomorrow;

so much to me that l wanted him to
know all about the details of the en-
terprise we shared together, and in
which he risked his life no less than
/ risked mine.
Tom took out his spectacles from
some recess of his trousers and APP
piled himself to Charlie Webster's
note, as though it had been the Bible.
He read it as slowly, indeed, as if it
had been Sanscrit, and then folded it
and handed it back to me without
word. But there was quite young
smile in his old eyes.

shall soon be able to ask him what he
meant by that expression"

sixteen and half" he said.
"Go ahead" / called out.
"Do you want to go aground?" asked
the captain.
For answer I pushed him aside and
took the wheel. 1 had caught the
smallest glimmer, like a night light,
floating on the water.
Drop the anchor" called.
The light inshore was clear and
near at hand, about one hundred yards
away, and there was the big murmur
and commotion of the long breakers
over the dancing shoals. The tide was
running out very fast, and the white
Sduu CUIuluB ever uedTST 10 our eyes
in the moonlight; and Samson's light,
there, was keeping white and steady.
With the thought of my treasure and
the "king" so near by it was hard
to resist the temptation to plunge in
and follow my heart ashore. But
managed to control the boyish i'm
pulse, and presently we were all snug.

woke just as dawn was waking

threatening Worcester had changed it's
mind, and the world was as quiet as
though there weren't a human being
in 1t. AS the light grew scanned the
shore to see whether / could detect
the entrance Of the hidden creek; but,

and again, it continued to justify the

groves here and there stepping down
in their fantastic way into the water.
And yet we were but hundred yards
from the shore. Certainly BLACK
beard''-if the haunt had really been
his-had known his business; for an
enemy could have sought him all day
along this coast and found no clue
to his hiding place.
But presently, as my eyes kept
on seeking, a figure rose, tall and
black, near tie waters edge, little
to our left, and shot up long arm
by way of signal. 1t was Samson; and
evidently the mouth of the creek was
right there in front OF us-under our
very noses, so to say-and yet it was
impossible to make 1t out However
at this signal, / stirred up the still
sleeping crew, and presently we had
