CHAPTER XIII
The sea was calm and Field
had reason for his pride In the
silver Dart" Soon Pablito saw
what the man and girl beside him
could not see--an indent OF water
cupped between Jagged rocks and
leading upward to deserted
stretch OF beach. Beyond the yell
low sand was a deep green tangle
of tropic jungle.
The water was growing shall

Pablito knew. Lottie and Beau
quarreled mildly. unaware OF the
danger. Pablito turned the speed
low. Lottie was sayinfi What

Turn 1t over and hope to God
it'll drift to sea" Beau answered.
IT'S a damn shame" the girl
muttered. ITS q swell boat!'
1T wouldn't be so swell to be
caught in it, Beau told her.
The boat scrapcd a rock and
poised for second, far tilted to
one side. Lottie's eyes grew
frightened but she made no
sound; Beau swore: Pablito
turned off the engine, stepped out
on the rock, pushed the boat off
and leaped back into it. once

from the shock. Again Beau sworG
loudly; again Lottie made no
sound but her hands gripped one
another until her knickles were
white.
Pablito saw natural channel
ahead as he stepped out this
time. IL he could make 1t he
could get within 10 0feet of shore.
Slowly and carefully he nosed the
boat through an opening as Beau
screeched high and shrill that he
couldn't make 1t. Then Pablito
turned off the engine to sit back.
"All change at Manhattan june

Wen get you to shore and
send the boat out" Beau said.

his fiared trousers, Sitting them
in order to pull them high on his
thighs. Then he stepped into the
water. "I'll carry YOU" he said
to Lottie. She smiled as she held
out her arms and h Gifted her
over the edge of the boat.
"oh, baby!" she murmured
ecstatically az her arms frightened
around his neck. THAT there Sir
Walter Raleigh musta took les
sons from you!"
II was a difficult feat, getting
Iottie to land. She was heavy
and the way was perilous. The
rocks were slippery and the sands,
washed by the tide. were shifting
and deceiving. The sun beat down
fiercely and Beau swore as he fol-
lowed. Once he fell and once
Pablito slipped but he did not fall.
At last he set Lottie down on the
beach, wiping his dripping brow
with a shirt sleeve.
"Thanks for the buggy ride"
he heard and, looking down at
her, managed to give her a wan
smile.

warm glance at Pablito the girl
made her way up the precipitous
beach toward the tangle of green.
Again Pablito and Beau waded,
pulled by the undertow and be-
trayed by the changing levels or
the sea bed At last they reached
the rocking boat and found more
difficulties. How to get 1t into
the open was their problem. The
wash Of the waves threatened to
bring II back to cover.

his way of showing that he was
