    TMe ream b abort * ba
w k I a 11 a adventure. Our
achoonar waa anchored In
Maaaaar S trait, Juat off
Bantang, a little port on th’
(aland of Borneo. Thera
wasn’t much to do on Ixiard
ao I waa tootin’ away on my
tin whlatle, thlnkliv I waa
m a tin ’ pretty good music I
ae my mualc muat have
n pretty had for one of
th’ «raw growled to th’ akip-
par that It would ba a pret­
ty good Idea to chuck me
overboard.
I was gettla* ee many
mean looks from *1, hands
that I hopped Into a boat,
lulled aahora and headed
or th ’ Jungle whera nobody
would kick. W ell a’r, I ’d
been tootin’ away with my
ayes closed, havin’ a regular
feast of music, when hap­
penin' to open my peepers 1
saw somethin* that fairly
raised my hair.
Right In fro n t of ma was
• whoppln’ big anake, a
leopard. and a grlnnln’ ape.
K
{
,
Tea eoald hare knocked me
over with a feather. I tell
you It looked like squally
weather for old Bill. I fig­
ured my only chance for
safety was to keep on toot­
in’. Then, scared as I was,
I almost laughed, for th’
snake, th’ leopard, anil th’
ape all atarted to hop
around and dance.
A fter awhile I began to
get tired of th’ show so I
thought I ’d blow a sour
nota, figurin’ It might scare
’em away long enough to
give me a chance to get back
to my boat W ell a’r, I blaw
a blast that fairly shook th'
leaves on th ’ trees. I ’ll be
dingbusted If th’ whole lot
of ’em didn’t streak for th’
jungle. And me? I hit for
th ’ boat so fast my shoes
smoked. And then. Just ss
I was pullin’ away. I'll he
awlggered If th ’ big snake
and his pals didn’t come »ut
of th’ Jungle, actually grln­
nln’, and th’ ape waa tootin’
•w ay on my tin whistle.
