\ THE PEOPLE, BARNWELL, & C The QREEN PIRATES PEA \ r ■ By PETER B. KYNE v^prn«m, vj rwtmr o. mk.ynm oAuthor of* " WEBSTER - MAN’S MAN/' "THE VALLEY of the s GIANTS,** Etc. ». CHAPTER XIII—Continued. — A J*coh’8 ladder waa hanging over the side of the schooner as the canoe •hot In under her lee quarter, and half a minute later the expectant Nella ■tepped upon her deck. A tall dark man. wearing' an ancient paJnileaf hat, sat smoking on the hatch coam ing, and. him Nells Halvorsen ad dressed. "Aye hane want to Cap’n Scraggs," he said. The tall dark man stood erect and cast s quick, questioning look at Nells Halvorsen. He hesitated before he made answer. "What do you want?" he asked de liberately. and there was a subtle menace In his tones. As for Nells Halvorsen. thinking only of the sur prise he had In store for his old em ployer, he replied evasdvely: “Aye hane want Job." "Well. I’m Captain Scraggs. and 1 haven't any Job for you. (Jet off my boat and wait until you’re Invited be fore you come aboard again." For nearly a pdnute Nells Halvor- sen stared open-mouthed at the spuri ous Captain Scraggs, while slowly there sifted through his brain the no tion that he had happened across the track of a deep and bbssly mystery of the seas. There was "something rotten in Denmark." Of that Nells Halvorsen was certain. More he could not he certain of until he had paved the way for a complete Investigation, and as a preliminary step toward that end he clinched his fist and sprang swiftly toward the b"g^a skl|e per "Aye tank you hane d—n liar." he muttered, and struck home, straight and trne. to the point of the Jaw. The man went down, and In an In- « slant Nells was on top of him. Off came the sailor's l**lt. the hand* of the half atunned man were quickly tied behind him. and t»efore he had time to realise what had happened Netla had rut a length of cord from a trailing halyard and tied hla feet irely, after which he gagged him irely with hla bandana handker chief A quick circuit of the ahlp con vinced Nella Halvorsen that the re mainder of the daatard crew were evidently aahore, ao he descended to the cabin In search of further evi dence of crime. He was quite pre pared to And Captain Scraggs' man- ttr’a certificate In ila familiar onken frame, hanging on the cabin wall, hut he was durnfounded to observe, hang ing on the wall In a similar and equally familiar frame, the certificate of Adelhert P. t.lbney ak first mate of at earn or sull, any ocean and any tonnage Hut still a third framed rertlflcate hung on the wall, and Neils again scratched his head when he read the wording that set forth the legal qualifications of Bartholomew MKluffey to h«»ld down a Job as chief engineer of coastwise vessels up to 1.2UU tona net register. It was patent, e\en to the dull- 1 wltted Swede, that there had been foul play somewhere, and the achoon- • er’a log, lying open on the table, seemed to offer the first means at hand for a solution of the mystery. Kagerly Nells turned to the last en try. It was not In Captain Scraggs* handwriting, and contained nothing more Interesting than the stereotyped reports of dally observations, cur rents, weather conditions, etc.. In cluding a notation of arrival that day at Honolulu. Slowly Halvorsen turned the leaves backward, until at last he was rewarded by a glimpse of a different handwriting. It was the last entry under that particular hand writing. and read as follows: "June 21. 19—. Took an observation at noon, and And that we are In 20—48 S , 178-4 W. At this rate should lift Tuvana- tholo early this afternoon All hands well and lookinjf forward to the fun at Tuvana. Bent a new flying Jih this morn ing and had the king and Tabu-Tabu holystone the deck. A. P G1BNEY." Nells Halvorsen sat down to think, and after several minutes of this un usual exercise it appeared to the Swede that he had stumbled upon a clue to the situation. The last entry in the log kept by Mr. Glbney was under date of June ‘21st—Just eleven days ago. and on that date Mr. Olb- ney had been looking forward to some fun at Tuvana-tholo. Now where was that Island and what kind of a place was It? Nells searched through the cabin until he came across the hook that Is the blble of every South sea trading vessel—the British admiralty reports. Down the Index went the old deck hand’s calloused finger and paused at "Friendly Islands—page 177;” where upon Nells opened the book at page 177 and after a five-minute search discovered that Tuvana-tholo was A barren, uninhabited Island In latitmU' 23-2 south, longitude 17K-4B west. * Ten days from the Friendly islands, the paper sabf. That meant under 'power and Mill ^jTth fH>"frades abaft the beam. It uA^ld take nearer fif teen days for the run from Honolulu to t|tat desert Island, and Nells Hal- til wondered whether the ma- men would still be alive by • fid could reach them For by’ some sixth sailor sense Nells Hal- vorsen became convinced that his old friends of the vegetable trade were marooned. They had gone ashore for some kind of a frolic, and the crew had stolen the schoonet 8 and left them to their fate, believing that the cast aways would never be heard from and that dead men tell no tales. ^ He rushed on deck, carried his pris oner down Into the cabin, and locked the door on him. A plnute* later: he was clinging to the Jacob's ladder, the canoe shot In to the side of-the vessel at his gruff command and passed on shoreward without missing a stroke of the paddle. An hour later, accompanied by three Kanaka sailors picked up at random along the water front, Neils Halvorsen was pulled out to the Maggie H. Her crew hud not returned and the bogus captain was still triced hard and fust In the cabin. The Swede did not bother to Inves tigate In detail the. f<*od and water supply. A hasty round of the schoon er convinced him that she had at least a month's supply of food and water. Only one thought surged through his mind, and that was- the awful necessity for haste. The an chor came in with a rush, the Ka naka hoys chanting a song that sounded to Nells like a funeral dirge, ami Nells went below am) turned the gasoline engines wide open. The Maggie II swung around and with a long streak of opalescent foam trail ing hehjnd her swung down the hay and faded at last In the ghostly moon light beyond Diamond head; after which Nells Halvonwn. with murder In Ida eye and a tarred rope's end In his horny fist, went down Into the cabin and talked to the man who I Mined as Captain Scraggs. In the end he got a i-oiifeasloii. Fifteen minutes later be emerged, sinlllqg grimly, gave the Kanaka boy nt the wheel the course, and turned In to sleep the sleep of the couwlence-free and tht i weary, a a a a a a a Darkness was creeping over the emy, and the enemy fled In wild dis order, pursued by the syndicate. After a chase of half a mile Mr. Gfbney led his cohorts hack *to the beach. “Let’s build . a fire—not that we need It, but Just for company—and sleep 'till mornln’. By that time my Imagination’ll be In workin’ order and I’ll scheme a breakfast out of this Godforsaken hole.” At the first hint of dawn Mr. Glb ney, true to his promise, was up and scouting for breakfast. He found some gooneys on a rocky crag and killed half a dozen of them with a club. On bis way back to camp he discovered a few handfuls of sea salt In a crevice between some rocks, and .the syndicate breakfasted an hour later on roast gooney. It was oily and fishy hut an excellent substitute for nothing at all. and the syndicate was grateful. The breakfast would havfc been cheerful, In fact. If Captain Scraggs had not made repeated ref erence to Ids excessive thirst. Mc- Gufifey lost patience before the meal was over, and cuffed Captain Scraggs, who thereupon subsided with tears In his eyes. This hurt McGuffey. It was like salt in a fresh wound, so he pat ted the skfp|ier on the buck and humbly urfked his pardon. Captain Scraggs forgave him and -murmured something about death making them all equal. “The next business before the syn dicate," announced Mr. Glbney. ^i* a search of this Island for water." - They searched all forenoon. At In tervals they caught glimpses of the two oaniiilails skulking behind sand- dunes. hut they found no wafer. Toward the center of the Island, bow-, fifth day Captain Scraggs falntad twice. Orf the twenty-sixth day Me- Guffey crawled Into the shadow of a •tunted mimosa bush and started to pray! It was the finish. The commodore knew .lt, and aat with bowed head In his gaunt arms, wondering, wondering. Slow ly his body began to sway; he muttered something,'slid forward on hla face, and lay still. And us he lay there on the threshold of the unknown he dreamed that the Maggie II came Into view around the headland, h bone In her teeth and every stitch of canvas flying. He saw her luff up Into the wind and hang there shivering; a mo^ ment later her sails came down by the run, and he saw a little splash under her port bow as her hook took bottom. There was a commotion on decks, and then to Mr. Glbney’s dying ears came faintly the shouts and soqgs of jthe black boys as a whaJeboat shot Into the breakers and pulled swiftly toward the beach. Mr. Glbney dreamed that n white man sat In the stern sheets of this whaleboat, and as the boat touched the beach It- seemed to Mr. Glbney that this man sprang ashore and ran swiftly toward him. And— Mr. Glbney twisted his suffering lips Into a wry smile as he realized the oddities of this mirage—It seemed to him that this visionary white man bore a striking resemblance to Nells Halvorsen. Nells Halvorsen, of all men! Old Nells, "the squarehead” deckhand of,the green-pen trade! Dull, bow-legged Nells, with his lost dog smile and his— Mr. Glbney rubbed his eyes feebly and half staggered to his feet.. What was that? A shout? Without doubt be had heard a sound that was not the moaning of their remorseless prison- keefw^r, the sea. And— . i\ * ‘ “Hands off." shrieked Mr.- Glbney and struck feebly nt the Imaginary fig ure rushing toward him. No use. He felt himself swept Info strong anus and curried an.Immeasurable distance down fhe bench. Then somebody threw water In his face and presM-I^a drink of brandy and sweet wafer to his parc’-ed lips. Ills swimming senses rallied a moment, and he discovered that he was lying In the bottom of a whaleboat. McGuffey lay beside him, and on a thwart In front of him sat I good ofd Neils Halvorsen with t'nptaln "We got a quorum without him, an’ besides'this business is Just between us three.” __ “Meetln'll come to order." The commodore tapped the hot deck with his hare heel twice. “Haul away, Mac." "I move you, gentlemen, that It be the sense o’ this meetln’ that B. t Mc Guffey, Esquire, lie an’ he is hereby app’Inted a committee o’ one to lam the everlastln’ daylights out o’ that sinful former chief mate o’ ourn^for abandonin’ the syndicate to a horrible death on that there desert island. Do I hear a second to that motion?" “Second the - motion,” chirped Cap tain Scraggs. “The motion’s denied": announced Mr. Glbney firmly. “Now, looky # here, Gib, that ain’t fair. Didn’t you fight Tabu-Tabu an’ didn’t Scraggsy fight the king o’ Kan- davu? I ain’t had no flghtln’ this en tire v’yage an’ I did cal’late to lick that doggone mate.” “Mac, It can’t be done nohow’.” “Oh, It can’t, eh?

"What If It doea?" snapped Captain Rrraggs bitterly. “We ain't got noth in’ hut oar hats to catch It In." "Well, then, Scraggsy. old stlck-ln- the tuiid,” replied the «'oninio«|ore quizzically. "IH a Hnqh you’ll go thirsty. .Your list looks like a oil- lender.” Captain Scraggs choked with rage, and Mr. Glbney. springing at the near est palm, shinned to the top of It In the most approved sailor fashion.

This suggested Jurtle .eggs to Mr. Glbney. and a change of diet resulted. Nevertheless, the un accustomed food, poorly rooked ns It was, and the lack of water, told cru elly on them, and their strength" fulled rapidly. At the end of a week, all hands,were troubled with indigestion, and McGuf fey developed a low fever. They had lost much flesh and were n white, hag gard-looking trio. On the afternoon of the tenth day on the island the sky clouded up and Mr. McGuffey predict ed a wUllwaw. Captain Scraggs In quired feehly If it was good to eat: That night it rained, and to the great Joy of the marooned mariners Mr/Glbnpy discovered, In the center of a frig sandstone rock, a natural reser voir that held about ten gallons of wa ter. They drank to repletion and felt their strength return* a thousand-fold. Tabu-Tabu and fhe king came into eamp about this time, and pleaded’for a ration of water. Mr. Glbney, swear ing horribly at them, granted tlielr re quest. and the king, in his gratitude, threw himself at the cojnmodore’s feet and kissed them. But Mr. Glbney ^'as not to be deceived, trrtd after furnish ing them with n supply of. water in Coconut calabashes, he ordered them tr» their own side of the Island. On the eighteenth day. the. last drop of water was gone, and on the iwenty- mm-otwI day the' last of the coconuts disnfy>e«rcd. The prospects «f more rain were not bright. The gooneys wer<j lH*conilng shy and distfustful and the fpMtffMe Was experiencing more and them a mixture of brandy and water. And when the syndicate was strong enough to be allowed all the water It wanted. Neils Halvorsen propped them up on deck and told the story. When he had finished. Captain Scraggs turned to Mr. Glhpey. “Gib. my dear boy," he said, “make a motion." "I move," said the commodore, “that we set Tabu-Tabu and fhe king down on the first inhabited island we can '4tru]. They’ve suffered enough. And I further move that we readjust the ownership of the Maggie II syndicate and cut the best Swede on earth In on n quarter of the profits." "Second the motion.” said McGuffey. “Carried,” said Captain Scraggs. other eud of.jiie UimwW I ain’t got more 'mfflrttffT, trfff ftnry^fh ETTTtng the heart to kill Vm. so let’s chqse ’em away before they get'fresh with u*."

The lookout on the power schooner Maggie II had sighted Diamond head before Commodore Adelhert P. Glbney, Captain Phlnens P. Scraggs. and En gineer Bartholomew McGuffey were enabled to declare. In all sincerity (or at least with ns much sincerity ns,one might reasonably expect from this banJl of roving rascals), thnt they had en tirely recovered from their harrowing^ experiences on the desert island of Tu vana-tholo, in the Friendly grpup. At the shout of “Land, ho!” Mb. Mc Guffey yawned, stretched himself, and sat. up,.
