THE GREATEST MYSTERY STORY EVER WRITTEN
e
"Why someone else?' Don't you ad-
mire our low and vulgar ways, pard.?
asked Hank. "Don't you like us?"
"Yes, but to be honest ,at the mo-
ment I like your camels better," re-
plied Digby.
"Well then—you gut the lot, ain't.
you?" asked Hank. "What's bitin' you
now, Bo?"
"Do you mean you're coming with
its?" I asked, a great light dawning un
me, a light that so dazzled my eyes
that I was afraid to look upon It.
"You shure said a iuouthfui,'• Bo,"
replied Hank. "Why, what did you
rigger? •That we'd leave you two in
nercent children du wander about this
yer sinful world all un yuur ]one?"
"After you bin and killed the Big
Noise? And obliterised their nice lit-
tle : block -house?" put in Buddy,
"Twouldn't' be right, boy. 'Course
tve'rt cumin' along."
I really had to swallow hard as I
took their horny hands.
"But look here, boys," Digby rein-
onstrated, after following my example
and trying to express thanks without
words, "there's no need for that. Give
us your camels and, anything else you
can safely spare, and go back in mod -
et. glory. There's nuthing against
you. If you're caught escaping with
us and helping us, you'll be shot with
us. 'It will be `desertion in the face
of the enemy when sent on recon-
naissance when it comes to the court
martial."
"Go back nawthen," • said Buddy.
"Look at here. This is whit Hank
wants to say. , . . Is there any In-
juns around? Nope. Is those nigs
from Tokotu in any danger? Nope.
Hey you had a square deal in this
Madam Lar Republicbouse stunt?
Nope. Didn't you and yourbrother
stared by your duoty in this mutiny
game? Yep. Wasn't you two scrap-
ping all the . time and "doing your
damnedest till everybody else had
handed in their checks? Yep. And
then didn't this Lejauue guy start in
to shout you up? Shore. And what'll
happen to you now if they get you?

faith in the re sourciefulness, exper-

anybody could escape from this pre-

with the almost equally terrible Am-

"1 vote we go south-west," said,
Digby. ,"We're bound to strike„" Brit-
ish territory sooner or later and then
we're absolutely safe, and can easily
get away by sea. We're bound to
fetch yip in Nigeria ifwe go steadily
south-west. if we could hit tli, Ni-
ger somewhere east of Timbuktu---'
fit would lead us• straight to it,"
"Plenty o' drinkird water in the Ni-
ger, 1 allow," observed Buddy. "]tut
there don't seem ter be no sign -posts
to it. I.t shore is a backward state,
this Sahara. . "' .
"Anyhow, it's southwest of us now,
and so's Nigeria," Digby insisted,
"Starboard yer helium," observed
Hank. "Nigeria on the port bow -

there were at least ;a hundred resiles

of course, too good to last—or too
