The Scarlet Wedding Dress
{Continued from preceding page)
about to gain the deck. With the turn of
the door Sonag was upon him, his left elbow
jammed under Hayes’ throat in his endeavor
to gain a garotte hold. The white captain
responded with a smashing blow on the jaw
while his left fingers broke through the jitsu
guard and found a resting place on the full
muscle-packed throat.
“You . . . man-cat! Is this how you
trap a guest! Wine in your hand, murder
in your black brain!”
Hayes flung hint against the traderoom
wall slamming his fists after the Jap’s re
ceding face.
Turning the key in the loc k of the trade-
room Hayes gained the deck swiftly. His
two followers were standing sentry like at
the gangway head, and it was evident to
him that the sounds of the scuffle below had
not reached the Isthumi’s crew. No sign
came from them as he descended the gang
way and pushed off towards the Caradoc.
The two schooners had drifted perceptibly
nearer and as Hayes glanced across the in-
gtervenin space he observed the crew of his
vessel gathered aft with the mate Emery
and Okahu kneeling in the centre. In the
excitement of discussion Hayes’ return
passed unnoticed. With cat-like agility he
gained the deck and stepped almost silently
into the crowd of haranguing sailors.
A conical shaped object lay in the centre
of the crowd. Hayes recognized it as the
blank shell which had been fired from the
Isthumi. The effects of its passage through
the Caradoc’s timbers had rent and flattened
it at the nose.
The Jap, Okahu, ignoring Hayes’ pres
ence, stooped with his knife and forced open
the torn sides of the projectile. A tight-
packed wad of eocoanut fibre was visible
inside. The brother of Sonag drew it out
dexterously and cut the wad asunder with
his long blade. A moment later he was un
rolling a scarlet dress length of silk before
the astounded sailors. A broad, star-shaped
filigree of lace formed the collar. From
point to point it was embroidered with
pearls, having for its central star a ruby of
matchless color and orient.
Hayes gaped in astonishment as he el
bowed through the crowd of sailors. Okahu
turned sharply, but his Japanese eyes be
trayed no sign of fear at the other’s presence.
“My brother Sonag has a fool business
made of this affair! ” he declared with the dress
w ound tightly about his left arm. “ It was not
my wish that the Princess I.alanga’s wedding
kimona should be hidden in a gunshell!”
Hayes stifled an oath. It came to him in
a flash that the scarlet wedding dress had
been concealed in an empty shell by Sonag
in his endeavor to avoid discovery by the
various port authorities. The projectile had
evidently been placed in the gun-breach dur
ing the voyage south. That the Isthumi’s
crew r were unaware of the trick lay in the
fact that the two gunners, Tamisho and
Nagiro, had fired upon the Caradoc before
Sonag could interfere.
Sonag had invited him into the Isthumi’s
traderoom while his brother Okahu had
boarded the Caradoc in the hope of recover
ing the battered projectile. It was a scheme
that could only have emanated from the
brain of a Japanese crime expert. And
while admiring its cleverness Hayes made
swift to end the situation.
Okahu had gradually withdrawn from the
little crowd of sailors, and, at Hayes’ for
ward movement sprang to the schooner’s
rail with the scarlet length of silk wound
about his arm. A dozen hands grabbed at
his ankles, but the Jap’s oil-soaked body
somersaulted from view in the shift of an eye.
Hayes turned to the gangway as though
to follow in the dinghy. Emery grabbed
his arm and pointed to a triangular shaped
fin riding diagonally across the slow lifting
waves. Nearer it came until its shadowy
length stayed within gunshot of the schooner
A moment later Okahu rose to the surface
a cable’s length astern. It was as if the
triangular fin had disturbed him. His un
usual anxiety was manifest by one of the
crew, who stooped suddenly near the torn
projectile lying aft, and picked up Okahu’s
long-bladed knife.
The mate laughed heartily at the dis
covery. “ He might have had a chance with
that in his hand! ” he shouted. “There’s too
much hurry about these Shinto acrobats!”
With quick trudgeoning strokes Okahu
swam towards the distant Isthumi, his bullet
head turning occasionally in the Caradoc’s
direction.
“The fellow’s a born diver,” Emery spoke
