huge, fierce, copper -hued man—with a

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--

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-

would be dangerous to have her
