They gesticulates and exclaimed and
breathed hard, full of the marvel of
such a thought. Then abruptly the
clamor died to nothing, I felt sir
eyes bent on me, six unwinking eyes
moving restless in motionless figures,
suspicious, deadly as cobras.
Up to now my standing with the
men had been well enough. Now they
dr»•'- frankly apart. One of the most
sig leant indications of this was the
'sed respect they paid my office.
It es as though by prompt obedi-
e: instant deference and the em-
pl. • izing of ship's etiquette they an-
te::. ed to draw sharply the line be-
tween themselves and me. There was
4 much whispering apart, many private
talks and consultatiops in which I had
no part. Ordinarily they talked free-
ly enough before me. Even the read -
lug during the dog watch was inter-
mitted—at least it was on such days
as I happened to be in the watch be.
low. But twice I caught the nigger
and Handy Solomon consulting to-
gether over the volume on alchemy.
I was in two minds whether to re-
port the whole matter to Captain Sel-
over. The only thing that restrained
me was the vagueness of the inten-
tion and the fact that the afterguard
was armed and was four to the crew's
five. An incident, however, decided
me. One evening I was awakened
by a sound of violent voices, Cap -
fain Selover occasionally juggled the
watches for variety's sake, and I now
had Handy Solomon and Perdosa.
The nigger, being cook, stood no watch.
"You drunken greaser swab!" snarl-
ed Handy Solomon. "You son of a
Yaqui! I'll learn you to step on a
seaman's foot, and you can kiss the
book on that! I'Il cut your heart out
and feed it to the sharks!"
"Pothal" sneered Perdosa. "You
cut heem you finger wid your knife."
They wrangled. At first I thought
-the quarrel genuine, but after a men
went or so I could not avoid a sort of
reminiscent impression of the cheap
.melodrama. It seemed incredible, but
soon I could not dodge the conclusion
that it was a makeup quarrel designed
to impress me.
Why should they desire to do so? I
had to give it up, but the fact itself
was obvious enough. I laughed to see
them. The affair did not come to
•blows, but it did come to black looks
•on meeting, muttered oaths, growls of
•enmity every time they happened to
;pass each other on the deck. Perdosa
was not so bad. His Mexican blood
inclined him to the histrionic, and his
Mexican cast lent itself well to evil
looks. But Handy Solomon for the
first time in my acquaintance with
him was ridiculous.
About this time we crossed into fre-
quent thunders. One evening just at
dark we made out a heavy black
squall. Not knowing exactly what
weight lay behind it, I called up all
hands. We ducked the staysail and
foresail, lowered the peak of the main-
sail and waited' to feel of it, a rough
.and ready seamanship often used in
these little California wind jammers.
I was pretty busy, but I heard dis-
tinctly Handy Solomon's voice behind
ane:
"I'll kill you sure, you greaser, as
soon as my hands are free!"
And some muttered reply from the
Mexican.
The wind hit us hard, held on a few
moments and moderated to a stiff -puff.
'There followed the rain, so of course I
knew it would amount to nothing. I
was just stooping to throw the stops

from behind. It is part of the jiu jitsu
taught the Samurai, quite a different
proposition from the ordinary "police-
man jiu jitsu." I picked it up from a
friend in the nobility. It came in very
handy now, and by good luck a roll of
the ship helped me. In a moment I
stood free, and 'Perdosa was picking
himself out of the scuppers.
The expression of astonishment was
fairly well done --I will say that for
him—but I was prepared for histrion-
ics.
"Senor!" ho gasped. "Eet is you!
Sacrosauta Maria! I thought you was
dat Soloman! Pardon me, senor! Par-
don! Have I hurt you?"
He approached me almost wheedling.
I could have laughed at the villain.
It was all so transparent. He no more
mistook me for Handy Solomon then
he felt any real enmity for that person.
But, being angry and perhaps a little
scared, I beat him to his quarters with
a belaying pin.
On thinking the matter over, how-
ever, I falled,to see all the ins and
outs of it. I could understand a desire
to get rid of me. There would be one
less of the afterguard, and then, too, I
knew too much of the men's senti-
ments if not of their plans. But why
all this elaborate farce of the mock
quarrel and the alleged mistake?
Could it be to guard against possible
failure? I could hardly think it worth
while. My only theory was that they
had wished to test my strength and
determination. The whole affair, even
ou that supposition, was childish
enough, but I referred the exaggerated
cunning to Handy Solomon and con-
sidered it quite adequately explained.
It is a minor point, but subsequently
I learned that this surmise was cor-
rect. I was to be saved because none
of the conspirators understood naviga-
tion.
The next morning i approached Cap-
Selover.
"Captain," said I, "I think it my
duty to report that there is trouble
brewing among the crew."
"There always is," he replied, un-
moved.
"But this is serious. Dr. Schermer-
horn came aboard with a chest which
the men think hold treasure. The
other evening Robinson overheard him
tell his assistant that he could easily
Ml the box with diamonds. Of course
he was merely illustrating the value
of some scientific experiment, but Rob-
inson thinks and has made the others
think that the chest contains some-
thing to make diamonds with. I am
sure they intend to get hold of it.
The affair is Coming to a head."
Captain Selover listened almost in-
differently.
"I came back from the Islands last
year," he piped, "with $300,000 worth
of pearls. There was sixteen in the
crew, and every man of ,,,them was
blood hungry for them pearls. They
had three or four shindies and killed
one man over the proper way to divide
the loot after they had got it. They
didn't get it. Why?" He drew his
powerful figure to its height and
spread his thick arms out In the lux-
ury of stretching. "Why?' he repeat-
ed, exhaling abruptly. "Because their
captain was Ezra Selover. Well, Mr.
Eagen," he went on crisply, "Captain
Ezra Selover is their captain, and they
know it, They'll talk and palaver
and git into dark corners and sharpen
their knives and perhaps fight it out
as to which one's going to work the
monkey doodle business in the doc-
tor's chest and which one's going to
tie up the sacks of them diamonds,
but they won't git any farther as long
as Captain Ezra is on (leek."
"Yes," I objected, "but they mean
business. Last night In the squall
one of them tiled to throw inc over-
board."
Captain Selover grinned.
"What did you do?" he asked.
"Hazed him to his quarters with a
belaying pin."
"Well, that's all settled then, isn't
it? What more do you want?"
I stood undecided.
"I can take care of myself," he went
on. "You ought to take care of your-
self. Then there's nothing more to
de."
He mused a moment
"You have a gun, of course?" he In-
quired. "I forget to ask."
"No," said I,
Ire whistled.
"Well, no wonder you feel sort of
lost and hopeless, (fere, take this;
it'll make 8 elan of you."
Ile gave me Colt's 45, the barrel
of which had been Med down to about
two inches of length. It was a most
extraordinary weapon, but ettective at
short range.

quarters and to snug down for a stay

We stared at ench other.
"Joyous prospect," I muttered. "Hope
there's so:nothing to de there."'
The morning wore, and we rapidly
approached the island. It proved to
be utterly precipitous. The high
rounded hills sloped easily to within
a hundred feet or so of the water and
then fell away abruptly. Where the
earth ended was a fantastic filigree
border, like the fancy paper with
which our mothers used to line the
pantry shelves. Below the white
surges flung themselves against the
cliffs with a wild abandon. Thousands
of sea birds wheeled in the eddies of
the wind, thousands of ravens perch-
ed ou the slopes. With our glasses
we cou]d make out the b"ac]s of sen b

We rowed in. The water was still. to reach the level of the upper coun-
try. The bed of the main arroyo was
fiat and grown with grasses and herb-
age of an extraordinary vividness, due,
I supposed, to the sulphur water. The
stream itself meandered aimlessly
through the broader bed. It steadily
grew warmer and the sulphur smell
more noticeable. Above us we could
see the sky and the sharp clay edge of
the arroyo. I noticed the tracks of
Darrow and Dr. Sehermerhorn made
the day before.
After a mile of this the bottom ran
up nearly to the level of the sides, and
we stepped out on the floor of a little
valley almost surrounded by more
bills.
It was an extraordinary place, and,
since much happened there, I must
give you an idea of it.
It was round and nearly encircled by
naked painted hills. From its floor
came steam and a roaring sound. The
steam blew here and there among the
pines on the floor; rose to eddy about
the naked painted hills. At one end
we saw intermittently a broad ascend-
ing canyon, deep red and blue black,
ending in the cone of a smoking vol-
cano. The other seemed quite closed
by the sheer hills. ;In fact, the only
exit was the route by which we had
come.
For the hills were utterly precipi-
tous. I suppose a man might have
made his way up to the various knobs,
ledges and inequalities, but it would
have required long study and a care-
ful head. I myself later worked my
way a short distance merely to exam -
Inc the texture of their marvelous col-
or.
This was at once varied and of great
body, not at all like the smooth, gloss-
ed color of most rock, but soft and
riet. You've seen painters' palettes.
It was just like that, pasty and fat.
There were reds of all shades, from a
veritable scarlet to a red umber;
greens, frdm sea green to emerald;
several kinds of blue and an indeter-
minate purple mauve. The whole ef-
fect was splendid and barbaric.
We stopped and gasped as it hit our
eyes. Darrow alone was unmoved.

fishing outside the surf and a ragged
belt of kelp.
When within a mile we put the helm
up and ran for the west end. A bold
point we avoided far out lest there
should be outlying ledges. Then we
came in sight of a broad beach and
pounding surf.
I was ordered to take a surf boat
and investigate for a landing and an
anchorage. The swell was running
high. We rowed back and forth, puz-
zled as to how to get ashore with all
the freight it would be necessary to
Iand. The ship would lie well enough,
for the only open exposure was bro-
ken by a long reef over which we
could make out the seas tumbling.
But inshore the great waves rolled
smoothly, swiftly, then suddenly fell
forward as over a ledge and spread
with a roar across the yellow sands.
The fresh winds blew the spume back
to us. We conversed in shouts.
"We can surf the boat," yelled
Thrackles, "but we can't land a load."
That was my opinion. We rowed
slowly along, parallel to the shore and
just outside the line of breakers.

against the tiny gravel beach at tiie

Everything was perfect. The water'
was a beautiful light green, like semi-

the bottom abruptly shallowed. The
motion of the boat toward the beach
permitted us to catch a hasty glimpse
of little fish darting, of big fish turn-
ing, of yellow sand and some vivid
color. Then came the grate of gravel
and the scraping of the boat's bottom
on the beach.
