the after deck would appear like a

token" Then, with few mystic
grunts, beseeched Bill and Monday
to come and receive the token. Mon
day came trembling aft and l pointed
to the little black bird which was
weakly gasping its last but it saved
the day for us. How we honored and
respected that little bunch of black
feathers. Curious to see what Mon
day would do, we left him. He sat by
the bird for over an hour, chanting In
that weird, sing-song patols of the
British West Indies. From that time
on Monday was our slave.
Two days before reaching ST. Lucia,
the captain sent for us, and said that
he knew that Bill and l had slowed
away Monday. We, like couple Of
fish, fell for this and admitted it.
whereupon the captain coolly in
formed US that we had forfeited all
pay and allowances due us for the en-
tire voyage. The Joke of 1t was that
under the board of trade laws, the
Cushko had to go two hundred miles
out Of her way to get to ST. Lucia and
put Monday ashore.
We dressed him In a long pair of
white pants; the carpenter gave him
red vest; Bill placed derby hat
on his head and he went ashore In a
small boat. When the boat returned
we lifted anchor, and as st. Lucia
again faded into the distance we could
see solitary little figure on the dock
waving his white pants around his
head. He had removed them upon
reaching port. We felt pang of re-
greet as he faded out Of sight.

into quarantine in New York harbor.

threatened to put me In double irons.
