that. It's all right for you to say
you're man of peace and advise me

down low you're goin' around lookin'
for blood, and that once you're up agin
the enemy, you never bat an eyelash.

was on hand next morning to pay
fine Of thirty pesos levied against each
of the culprits, he was instantly for

United States cruiser didn't happen
to be lying in the roadstead, he would
have shelled the town in retaliation.
But eventually the days passed, and
the Maggie II, well found and ready
for sea, shook out her sails to fair

She kept well to the southwest until
she struck the southeast trades, when
she swung around on her course, head

was excellent. Mr. Gibney took daily
observations, and was particular to
make daily entries in his log when
he, Scraggs, and McGuffey were not

three were passionately fond.
On the afternoon Of the twenty-ninth
day after leaving Panama the lookout
reported land. Through his glasses
Mr. Gibney made cut a cluster Of tall
palms at the southerly end of the is

on her course he could discern the
white breakers foaming over the reefs
that guarded the entrance to the har-
Dor.
