GATHERING CLOUDS
fTTTILL you tell ma on thing?"
' asked Flint
"Perhaps."
"Are you In lore with him?"
"I can't help It It 1 am, can I?" the
ali.
Flint shrugged bis shoulders.
"That's a tough break (or me," he
said. "II he hadn't been alou every
thing might have been different"
The two chairs were close to
gether. Flint's hands rested on the
arms of his. Ivy patted the band that
was nearer to her.
"Poor boy." she .aid, "I am sorry.
I don't want to nurt anyone, but
you'll get over It Yoa'tu lust a kid
I am too old (or you, (or one thing."
" Bowers returned, still whistling
cheerfully. He tao a halt-ajass of
water and live-grain Pyramldon tab
let and he stood over Flint until t e
disconsolate youth had i llowed
the latter.
At their backs was all that re
mained o( a (antastlo sunset, and
presently ;he first if' vlbnilons of
the "Get Ready" gong began to
sound.
Sometimes when Ivy went below
to shower Bowers had hlmselt
doused with sea-water and did his
dressing on deck. But tonlgM the
shower appealed to him fud still
more, '.be chance of a Lisa or two
before dinner.
"Olve me ten minutes," Ivy said,
"and the shower Is yours."
And she went below with Helen
holding her by the hand and pranc
ing at her slue.
"She's a great girl," said Flint
"That Isn't the ball of It" said
Bowers, and he looked at his watch.
"Circus lite must be awful hard
sledding In this part of the world,"
said Flint ' .
"She Is going to get out ' that,"
said Bowers.
"I'd hate for anybody to give her
a raw deal when I was around," said
Flint
Bowers shot a sldewlse glance at
the speaker and thought how very
serious and pompous the young can
be.
AVERAGED over the experience
of many years, ths raini proper
were not due for several weeks, but
the i perlence of any lven year Is
often Ailed with exceptions and the
wea" er Is not controlled by the
memories and statistics of scientific
men.
There was sometimes the prelude
of ram with wind squalls which fol
lowed b; weeks anu even months of
placidity anticipated the real rains
Captain Wong Bo's glass Indicated
that there was getting to be more
moisture n the atmosphere, than
was right and proper at that season
Tbe sunsets diminished In glory.
The vast cumulus clouds which
floated high and snow-hrlgUt with
dove-colored and amethyst i hadows
during tbe heat of the day, darkened
toward evening and sank of their
own weight to the horlson.
Here tb formed a lofty pbanlu
magorlo ring In which the Imagina
tive eye could discover anything It
sought In the way of landscapes,
mountain runges, ar.d cities planned
aud built by Titans. In the '.irectlon
of the setting sun these conceptions
were illuminated as It by volcanic
and Internal nrsa.
The ch: .1 showed that tne Boldero
was nearlng the northe.n end of
Borneo. To the starboard, accordln,
to the chart but not according to
tbe doup blue waters which hid It
from view, a sunken reet stretched
parallel with the coast of the main
Island, and with tbe course ot the
ship. f"r nearly hundred miles.
It was somewhere along this reel
thst Captain Wong Bo and his Junior
partner Mr. Flint had planted their
barratry. The time was at hand, and
according to Wong Bo the sooner
now the better.
Flint held out for wrecking the
ship by daylight but was overrules
Wong Bo did not argue the matter.
He simply asserted bis authority
and ssld thst the night was "more
belter."
Knowing nothing of the purloined
guns or of Wong Bo's uetermlna Ion

on the sinking ship. Flint '.r-nld not

thinking solely of ivy's comfort in
the matter.
To be wrecked by daylight In a
smooth 'sea with competent boats
at hand, and competent men to man
them, and land of continental pro
portions perhaps distantly In sight,
should have no real terrors lor any
one. It was not possible tor either
Bowers or Ivy to know thr.i the ship
had been wrecked on purpose. Tw-
passengers occupied with tbe care
ot the menagerie and engrossed In
each other would never notice that
the course ot the ship upon which
they traveled had been altered a
point or two.
Both, as a matter of fact were ex
traordinarily Ignorant ot seacratt
They did not know that the weather
was making up for premature rain.
They did not know that the shred ot
blue smoke ahead and on the starboard-bows
was the smoke of a little
volcano that bad once risen out of
the sea with volcanic noises that
were audible at the distance of a
thousand miles and had subsided
and through the ages with the help
of erosion, climate and eea-born
seeds, made a little Island tome tor
Itself.
If they gave the smoke a thought,
they thought that It was thi smoke
ot a far-off steamor.
THE reet which paralleled the
course ot the Boldero, not of
course the superstructure of the
coral-builders but the more solid vol
canic substructure, bad perhaps
risen from the ocean bottom In com
pany with the volcano. It was not
ot course, continuous. There were
many breaks, deep and wide psssei
through whicn several sblpj could
have moved abreast, and a man who
steered for It at a right angle might
miss It altogther.
But approached by a long diago
nal which made a narrow angle ot
the ship's course and the reef-structure
Itself you were nound to score a
bit Tbe Boldero was old, she would
crack lUa an egg, and In addition
the sea-cocks would be opened.

and tbe officers ano the cre-r ot the
Boldero, who were doubly to be de
pended on, Wong Bo and Hint for
reasons too obvious to mention and
the offlcere and the crew first be
cause they bad cot been told what
was g. lnr to take place, and second
because t!-.ey were Chinese with a
preternatural Instinct for keeping
their ow-j counsel, the only wit
nesses to the Impending ami Intend,
ed disaster would be Ivy and Bow
ers (who would perish) sea birds
and the tings that swim in 'Sj rea.
About live o'clock Ivy and Bowers
could see tor themselves that the
smoke on the starboard-bow did not
come from the funnel of a steamer,
but from a deep purple joue shaped
like widely opened. Inverted fan.
In this dlscovoo the passengers
took only s passing Interest. If they
bed takjn a little mor m'jre and
asked a tew questions of Flint or
Captain Wong Bo, tbey would have
discovered that the volcano "ts part

Its shape (It seemed that i bad a
