A ll night he had sat motionless, head hidden in his hands. There was nobody to see. In his haggard features, what Barbara had seen that raornlug. Although his eyes had not closed, this solitary vigil, with lta forced tnac- tlon, had revived and Intensified the morning’s sufferings. The sense of powerlessness which had attacked Bar­ bara with such violence In the after­ noon now attacked him. Again and again he strove to turn his thoughts front the «-recked ransa ont there upon the reef: from the dark waters and the monsters which Infested them, where those friends, strong and full of life not many hours ago, now lay hid­ den. W hat aw ful fate, worse than mere drowning, had been theirs? . . . He strove to restrain bis mentul agony, dragging Ids mind away, for down that road madness lay. . . . There were na- tlves, possibly cannibals, upon this I*- land, to be faced sooner or later. Therein, to hts mind, lay hope. For surely they were In touch with civil!- zatlon? During his travels he had picked up a good number of dialects employed among Polynesian and M ela­ nesian natives. W ith luck he might find means of rescue through their en­ terprise, If they had any. But this was doubtful.
