There was sort of basin where the dhows
were moored. The town was black as a whales

of watchmen's mouth harps
Better stand off and on til we hear from that
prince" whispered the old man. Il don't like the

the captain saw his mad eyes shining in the dark.
They heard the water tapping against the sea

blackness.

The boat swung and started for the narrow

was black craft athwart their bows.

There a stif1ed shout and gang of Arabs
swarmed over them clubs going like mad.
"Avast!" roared Tony and the captain fired
his pistol.
There was a yell and splash. Tony jumped

1t was over half an hour before he felt the yarn
part. He lay there still death when someone
looked in at him, then freed his feet and rolled on
the ground getting the agony Of cramp out of him.
BY that time he was good and mad. He peeped
dressed in dirty blankets, with that greasy Nubian
Yin white gown in charge. That was the baby
who'd kicked him in the face
But there no chance to run for it without
being seen. Tony worked his BRAIN
Then he got an idea. He remembered that
Mussulmans were scared stiff of mad people, They
think the crazy ones afflicted of Allah and
wouldn't dare to harm hair on their heads. That
was worth chance.

lofty Glove trees. He'd have to get through there
somehow.
Ducking back into the darkness of the hut
Tony started mewing like cat There was a
grunt from the fire, laugh That wouldn't do.
Tony barked like dog. Dogs are unclean to
those Arabs. He heard them chattering and the
Nubian cussing. He grunted like pig Someone

He screamed whistled, barked and kicked up
regular rumpus. Then he began to cry.
He heard someone coming.
Tony snatched off his pants and shirt. The

'Whe-e-e-ee-!" screamed Tony.
The Nubian jumped back with yell and Tony
capered out into the freight. He the native

had happened to the
old man? Tony hoped
he'd got away and
would send the hands
to get him. Other
wise he knew there
wasn't much chance.
He'd either be sold
across the Indian
Ocean as a slave or be
killed and buried out
there in the bush.
That perfumed prince
wouldn't let him go
free to tell who'd
stolen the ambergris.
Tony began to feel

Several times dur

looked in and grinned
and spat at him. One

and waved a wicked

All that day he lay

stopped and loosed it.

Tony. Come on, water, aqua, moya. Savvy?"
"Moya. Awa."
The man went out and returned with spouted

better
Nov let me outta this" he ordered, "or I'll

The Nuban didn't savvy his lingo but he must
have known Tony was not passing compliments
He put his big, yellow heel in Tony's face and
showed. Tony went down like ten-pin.

foot on me. You'll be sorry for that"
He lay there until another native came with
banana leaf full of peanut paste and manioc Tony
ate it somehow his mouth was sore from the gag.
Then they gave him water with sugar in it. But
when he yelled for tobacco they laughed at him.
He sat there after they'd bound his again

There was an interpreter in fez and imitation

"He say he fit pay 1900 pound Turkish"

"Gold?"
"Aiwa, va sidi."
"He says yes"
Let's see the color of his money"
"He want see ambar."
Break out keg, Tony"
That sissy prince went down on his knees and
shifted at the strange, sweet smelling stuff,
grinning, almost purring like great, fat cat. He
rubbed it on his greasy face and looked almost
as if he wanted to eat it.
whats he want to do?" demanded the old
man, impatient like. Tell him to hand over the
cash and take the stuff if he wants It..
Well, sir, first they wanted to weigh it with
their own scales. That took hour while they
argued which scales were right the ships or the
princes. Matter Of fact they were both bit off.
When that was done they put the ambergris back
in the keg and the prince sealed it with some
sinking wax and put his finger-prints in it.
"He take now bring gold bukra," said the
interpreter
"Bukra? That means tomorrow" yelled the
captain. Nothing doing. Tell him COD. No

There was squalng match when the kegs
went below and they argued FORE aft and thwart-
ships darn near all night. The prince wouldn't
bring the cash without the ambergris and the old
man wouldn't hand over the stuff without the gold.
The prince said if he took the stuff asho, ne
would be caught by the authorities and have the
stuff confScated for back taxes
That made sense
