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 {Continued on next page) IN PUPE OLIVE OIL OP PURE TOMATO SAUCE “Skipper ” Sardines are from the cold, clean salt waters of Norway.
