Opposite, there rose a twenty -foot "Jab him with an oar," ordered the wall Of balsatic columnar blocks, commander, But it is not so easy But it was not at this wall that Palmyra Tree, aboard the yacht Rainbow, is startled by seeing a hand thrust through the port of her cabin. She makes a secret investigation and discovers a stowaway. She is disap- pointed in his mild appearance and tells hila so. Obeying his command to glance at the door—she sees a huge, fierce, copper -hued man—with a ten inch knife held between grinning lips! Burke, the stowaway, explains that it is a joke. But Palmyra is shaken. Next day, Burke and the brown man go 'up on deck. The stowaway 'entertains them with wild tales of an adventuresome life—which his listeners refuse to believe! Palmyra spends more and more time with the stowaways to avoid John and Van, but when the stow- aways are put ashore at Honolulu she decides she loves Van. The night the engagement is announced the Rainbow hits a reef. Inthe ex-- citement which follows John rescues both Van and Palmyra—but Palmyra thinks it is Van who saved her. After three days spent on the un- inhabited island, a sail is sighted. It proves to be Ponape Burke! Burke contrives to get Palmyra on board his boat alone—and the boat is un- der way before anything can be done! Thurston is frantic and plans to save Palmyra, although there seems no possible way. Meanwhile Ponape tells Palmyra he is going to the Isle of Tauna ,with her. Burke has to put her ashore on an island, as a Japan- ese man-of-war is sighted and it would be dangerous to have her aboard.. Olive swims to the island and joins Palmyra.
