CHAPTER x

The Caribs were checked again
by a volley of stores, and withdrew
after that to a safe distance, while
Burley and Tucu held a consulta-
ton.
Dick struggled to his feet, little
bewildered and uncertain what
course to pursue. There were SIX
white men, now that Pettigrew had
been killed, and a dozen Caribs at
tacking them, an even disposition
of forces, perhaps if they had been
equally equipped for battle-for one
white man could ordinarily handle
two Caribs-but armed with pistols
that their enemies lacked the black
men had the advantage. They could
pick off their enemies leisurely with
out running any risk from flying
stones, and in the end conquer
through their superior weapons.
Captain Bedford may have pis-
tolls or rifles that Tucu overlooked,
Dick reasoned. 'With two or three
we could rout the Caribs."
Animated by this thought, he
turned and began scrambling down
the rocks, soaring his hands and
knees and nearly losing his balance
once or twice through careless
haste. Rose saw him coming, and
waved to him; Dick gave no heed
to her until he stood on the deck,
hot, flushed, and painting:
Captain Tucu's gangs on the
other side of the island!" he an
nounced abruptly.
Rose recoiled and turned deathly
white, but Captain Bedford's face
set in hard lines without trace
of fear in it. ''Then we must get
ready fur them," he said grimly.
''Did they see ye?"
"No, but I saw them"
The old skipper nodded. "Can ye
shoot?"
Eyes, if 1 had anything to shoot
with. Tucu disarmed me, and
took every weapon off the schooner.
did he?" The skipper's face
was wreathed in a crafty smile. 81

later, che overlooked some of 'em."

rected upon the breastwork of their
enemies, and, not expecting danger
from above, they never once raised
their eyes to the summit of the cliff.
This more than any skill on their
part enabled the three to creep
stealthily down the ridge until close
to the hiding place of the sailors.
Crouching there for a moment they
considered the next move. Between
them and the breastwork was an
open stretch of fiat sand. To cross
this they had to expose their bodies
to the cross fire of the Caribs."
"I'll go first" Dick whispered.
''No, wait a minute" replied the
skipper. "Likely's not them sailors
will take ye for fankin' party an
land ton of stones on yer head.
We got to let 'em know we're
friends"
"How can we do it without alarm
ing the Caribs?"
"Reckon we can't. But it's got
to be DONE"
Suddenly, without warning of his
intentions, the skipper raised his
voice without exposing his head:
"Ahoy, there, shipmates! Look
The midland journal., 1946-10-11

Keep covered until we get Tucu and
Burley. The rest will surrender"
Who's Tucu - their leader?"
asked one of the seamen.
"Yes, he's the captain of the lug
ger, and Black Burley's the mate"
"Know 'em?"
"Sure. I've sailed with them"
The sailors eyed him curiously.
In the lull that followed, one asked:
Wasn't we on the City of Bahia?"
Dick nodded.
Thought I remembered yer face.
Got away, did ye?"
Further conversation was inter-
rupted by the unexpected barking OF
gun far on their right. For a
moment they thought fianking
party had crept up behind them;
but almost simultaneously with the
crash of the report there came cry
from the enemy. They saw a gl-
gantic black man leap in the air
and tumble face downward.
"Black Burley!" exclaimed Dick.
'Who shot him?" asked one of
the sailors, uneasily glancing in the
direction of the shot.
Captain Bedford" smiled Dick.
"He's trying to flank them"
The rest of the Caribs, with Tucu
leading, had leaped from cover, and
were making a run for their last
refuge.
"After them!" yelled Dick,
springing over the breastwork.
Don't let Tucu escape"
Dick led the assaulting party, but
Tucu had big start. 1t looked for
a time as if he would escape, and
Dick hesitated between keeping up
the race and stopping to shoot. Per-
haps in either case he would have
lost if Tucu's vengeful nature hadn't
temporarily handicapped him.
Hen Pettigrew lay directly in his
path, where he had been left by the
Caribs for dead; but Hen had as
many lives as cat, and despite
the fact that he carried three bull
lets in his body he was long way
from being dead. He sat up and
began struggling feebly to get on
his feet. He was not aware of
Tucu's presence until the latter
stopped suddenly in his steps.
The sight of one of his enemies
escaping when he could kill him
was too much of strain on Tucu's
nature. He decided to inger long
enough to put Hen out of the game.
With a malevolent CLINT in his eyes,
he leered at the half-dazed man, and
said:
81 reckon y'don't need to get up"
He could have shot him on the
run, but he wanted to make sure
this time. He brought his gun close
to Hens head, thrusting it vicious
ly between his eyes so he could
stare his fate directly in the face.
1t was a brutal, bloodthirsty act,
and for a moment Hen recoiled.
Damn ye, take that!" grunted
the half-breed.
The midland journal., 1946-10-11
Dick Saves the Life
OF His Nemesis

There was an explosion, so close
that the powder blackened Hens
face, but the bullet buried itself in
the sand as Tucu's right hand
dropped to his side, with the fore
arm broken close to the wrist.
Dick had taken advantage of his
hesitation and shot at the hand hold
ing the gun to Hens face, pausing
to aim carefully and deliberately to
make sure he did not miss.
With a snarl and curse, the half
breed grasped his wounded wrist in
his free hand, and seeing that es-
cape was impossible he turned upon
Dick like an enraged animal. All
the venom of his nature fared up
in his eyes.
Dick could have shot easily, but
he hesitated. The man was wound
ed and unarmed, his gun having
fallen to the ground. He could not
shoot Tucu even when he had him
at his mercy.
cts all up, Tucu," he said, smil-
ing as he advanced. 81 won't kill
you if you'll surrender. You can't
get away"
"Y'won't shoot me if l surren-
der?" whined the half-breed.
"Y'won't let 'em kill me?"
"No, We'll give you a fair trial,
but you don't deserve it."
Tucu's shifty eyes seemed to lose
their fire, and Dick noticed that the
limp arm was bleeding freely. "I'n
help you," he added, kicking the
mans gun away to safe distance.
"That arm must be broken"
Although in the act of kicking
Tucu's gun away, he showed that
he didn't trust the outlaw, Dick
was careless in another respect. He
thrust his own gun in his pocket.
The halfbreed noticed the action
and almost Immediately his whole
attitude changed. A murderous
gleam flashed in his eyes.
With his left hand he jerked an
ugly knife from his belt and made
a lunge at Dick. The attack was
so sudden and unexpected that
there was no time for counter ac-
ton. Dick had barely time to catch
the uplifted arm and save himself
from almost instant death.
With growl of rage that his ruse
had failed, the half-breed struggled
to release his arm for another blow:
but Dick flung himself upon the out
law, grasping the arm with one
hand and the knife with the other.
Although wounded, and one arm
helpless, Tucu, who was giant in
strength, fought ferociously, sue
ceeding finally in hurting his enemy
from him through sheer muscular
superiority.

The Autonatics
Turn the Tide

Dick nodded, and then vaulted the
low ridge of rocks, and, crouching
low, made break across the open
space. His sudden appearance was
the signal for volley of shots from
the Caribs, but in anticipation of
this he lodged and ducked so er-
ratically that the bullets buried them
selves in the sand at a safe dis
tance on either side.
The sailors, forewarned, made no
hostile demonstration but watched
him with gaping mouths and wide
open eyes. When he finally landed
plump in their midst, they stretched
forth arms to receive him. Recov-
ering his breath, Dick said:
''Now give them hell! Shoot to
kill"
The sight of the guns he began
passing around brought grins of de-
light to the haggard faces.
81 haven't enough for ALL" Dick
added. $50 be careful. Who among
you are the best shots?"
'I've killed a man at a hundred
feet" replied a burly seaman, TAX
ing a gun, San my mates nearly
as good. Give him one."
The other two were handed to
men who declared they were good
shots, and were anxious to try their
skill on the Caribs. Dick took
charge and directed the shooting.
They're towards, and will run
the moment we shoot" he said.
"They don't know we're armed. So
make the best of our chance. Sim
gle out our men, and shoot togeth-
er."
He counted two and then raised
a hand as a signal. Four vicious
bullets sped toward their marks,
and before they were well on their
way others were following them.
The automatics barked so continu-
ously tina: half the Caribs were
down before the others could duck
for shelter.
The sailors wanted to break cover
and charge, but Dick restrained
them. mo. they'll get some of you.

aloft! Keep them stuns for the en-
emy, an don't shy any of 'em aft!
We're comm to help ye."
The surprise and CONSERVATION of
the sailors at the voice behind them
was not greater than that of the
Caribs. Dick saw Captain Tucu
and Black Burley jump to their feet
and scan the rocks with eager eyes.
81 reckon now ye can co." Cap
tain Bedford whispered. "Ye're
spryer'n me, an can make it quick
er."
"Give me all except two of the
pistols" replied Dick. "You and
Rose keep one apiece. Don't expose
yourself. Keep Rose here with
you."
"Reckon I amt promisin' to keep
her here" grinned the skipper, "but
I'll try it"

Reinforcements Come
From, the Schooner

Leading the way into the cabin,
with Dick and Rose eagerly follow
ing, he began prying up section
of the floor. After loosening few
boards he lifted out a small chest
hidden underneath, which, when
opened, disclosed a treasure more
precious to Dick than the gold TAX
en- from the submarine. 1t consist
ed of half a dozen brand-new pistols
of modern pattern, automatics of a
deadly type, with ammunition
enough to feed them for consid-
cradle time.
"We could clean 'em up alone,
but mebbe it would be better to get
down to the sailors, an let 'em
have some sort of fun. Reckon
they'd enjoy it," grinned the cap
tain.
YES" nodded Dick, eve must
have nearly enough guns for all.
We must hurry"
They started up the companion, but
when they climbed over the side of
the schooner to get ashore Rose sud-
denly protested.
"Aren't you going to help me
ashore, Dick?"
NO." he replied gravely, "you
must stay on the Betty. Well come
back to you"
She shifted and tossed her head
in the air. eff Fathers going I'm
going too," she answered.
Dick started to protest further,
but Captain Bedford nudged him.
''No use arguin',' he whispered.
'I've spoilt her. She always has
her way"
With smile she acknowledged
this doubtful compliment, and
climbed down to the mass of wreck
age.
When they reached the summit of
the cliff, the situation below was
not changed. The Caribs were still
at safe distance, shooting occa-
sionally at the breastwork behind
which the white men were crouched.
Their bullets went wide of the
mark, which induced Captain Bed
ford to remark, eye can't never
teach Carib to shoot straight.
'Tain't born in 'em. Reckon we'l
show 'em how to do it."
Dick had been scanning the rocks
below with careful estimate of the
danger ahead. The shipwrecked
men had reached the upper part
of the beach, and it was possible
to get within hundred feet of them
without exposing their bodies by fol-
lowing closely a ridge of outcrop-
ping boulders. When he indicated
this to Captain Bedford, the old
skipper nodded, and waited for him
to lead.
Once more Dick urged Rose to
remain behind, but she stubbornly
shook her head and prepared to fol-
low.
The Caribs had their attention d.
