eft comes off and on. You know
how he is. He'll be all right when
he wakes up. Probably be four or

know what we're coming to-"
Dick took the wheel, signaled his
engines, and snaked the Sarah in
through the coral. He anchored her
between the Holokai and the Seal.

couraged him. "All the way up, the
Old Mans been raving and cussing
at you for putting out with the Holo-
kai without no orders"
"When he wakes up" Dick said,
''tell him to keep his shirt on. There
isn't anything here to get in hur-
ny about; not now"
Dick Wayne went back to the Ho-
lokai. On her deck he stood for
few moments, looking across at the
Seal, and fumbling in his pockets
for his pipe, which had become mis-
laid. He was still standing there
when Inyashi came trotting to him.
Flows the Hawaiian girl who was
hurt?" Dick asked at once.
ST think she is still-al right"
SIS she quiet now?"
'Most of the time. When she is
not quiet, she is calling for this Ho-
kano. The doctor gave her shot of
something, think"
"Have somebody cut Hokano's
wrists and ankles loose and bring
him to me-"
Captain, that is dangerous. That
man will try to kill you, I think. !"
"Do as I say, anyway"
eyes, SIR" Then, as Inyashi start
ed away, he faltered and turned
back. Captain Dick, while you were
gone, the Seal sent to ask for a pilot
three times. They want to go out
now, they think
"They want to go out? Why, then,
John Colt must have gone aboard. "
"Oh, yes, sir, half an hour ago.
I thought you knew that"
''Well-did you give them some
body?"
mo, Tonga"
tNo?"
"You see," Inyashi said, uneasy
under Dicks stare, eff we send no
| pilot, Mr.. Colt and Miss Waterson
will have to stay here"
A whole lifetime spent in the Is
lands had never fully accustomed
Dick to the manner in which every
one managed to know everyone
else's business. Just now it unex.
pectedly appeared that Inyashi not
only knew all the ramifcations OF
Dicks affairs, but had his own con.
ception of what was good for Dick
'What Mr.. Colt and Miss Wa.
terson do is their own business y
Dick said unappreciatively.
There's still time to send them 6
pilot, Captain Dick. Either Meme
hume or Kamaku could pilot those
shoals in their sleep. We can senc
them a man, if we want"
"Yes," Dick said, so uncertainty
that it was Inyashi's turn to stare

up his boat"
| 'sPile her up" Dick repeated dim
ly. "Yes, that is exactly what hi
will do. Well, maybe that would b.
the best thing. Maybe that would
be the best thing for us all. There
wouldn't be any danger to anybody
I wouldn't think"
/ ''No DANGER" Inyashi agreed ca
gerly. mo danger at all. But

being decided by-somebody else"
Sometimes" Inyashi said eau
tiously, what people do in hurry
when they are mad, is big mis-
take"
"Inyashi. are you arguing witt

"Yes, SIR"
