suit I looked around and
there was a big man-satin’
shark headed for me.
But I was ready for him.
As he dlvbd for me I let
him feel th1 length of a
long, sharp knife* That
settled him, and hs wiggled

had gold und jewels aboard

been after th'
treasure.
Then he told his pal th'

that had been talkin’ about
