MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOItlJ. OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1934. PAGE SIX G Yew SjtAjUJl btj Cjcuvzuicwi WcvuL. SYNOPSIS! Harvey Boum and Ivy Green, oaet alitor Irom the S S. Boldero after that dingy tramp had been ecuttled by it vil Icinoue Captain Wong Bo ore ex- florin 0 Tiger leland for a place to lt. So tar they hova heard noth. tna more than a tiger'e roar to tell them what happened to the wild animal cargo they treed lust beore the linldero Bank. Bnwere flnde cave, and Ivy and Helen, her pet mtnkeu. explore it with him. Chapter 28 HAVEN pHE floor of the cava was suioolta, and slanted a little upward from the mouth. The mouth was no broader, though considerably tower than an average door. Within, the cave expanded to a width of perhaps fifteen feet and to a height of eight or nine. These proportions obtaining for perhaps twenty feet, offered the house-hunt-ars one large, airy, dry room. At the farther end the aides and the roof of the cave drew together Into a dark and narrow opening which perhaps led to caves and pas sages beyond, or merely narrowed off to nothing. That would be for future exploration. They could not have beon more lated If they bad beon given the nso of a modern house with running watir. iloctrlo lights. Ice-boxes and door, and the conversion of the tree on the terrace Into a flagpole. Sowers notched bis way to tbe top and removed the whole of It, uut by nut and frond by frond. He Im provised a block, and using strong flah-llne for halyards so arranged mattera that whenever the time came, he could raise the Stars and Stripes and declare his whereabouts. He would bave liked to raise bis (lag every morning at sunrise and to lower it when tbe aun set, but that would have been folly. Roving piratical fishermen still Infested tbe Java Seas. Tbelr first days were devoted mainly to exploration. They even climbed to tbe top of the volcano and got themselves half choked with sulphurous fumes. On that day they made the discovery that there were wild pigs on the Island, and tar off on the upper slope of the volcano, they saw a little group of goats. E Sixty employes and wives of em ployes of Standard Oil Co., In the Med ford district returned yesterday by train In a special car from the first annual conclave of the Northern division of Standard Oil Co., held In Centralla, Wwih., 8unday. Approxi mately 4500 people attended the con vention, which was a social affair, I coming from Idaho, Washlnfrton. ' Oregon and parts of Nevada, Utah, California, and Alaska. The Medford delegation, which left this city Saturday night, received considerable publicity and attention at the meeting, due to the fact that It was the largest representation com ing from a distance of more than 300 I miles. A special committee, com posed of K. W. Kendrlck. A. J. Haulc. I A. F. West, and R. J. Simpson, left TO Bowers, who at times found Medford several days In advance to himself wondering what the aid In making final arrangements for - the party, which Is said to have been the most outstanding event of Its (kind ever held In the northwest. I Harry McMahon, manager of the local district, stated that Judging from Its tigers were going to live on, tbe knowledge that there were both pigs and goats to be had was moBt com fortlng. If the tigers ever should run out of food, they wouldn't be pleasant neighbors. The cave Itself, both front door and back, was wholly out of their If the tigers should run out of food- servants. The ledge outside with Us one stately palm was tbe perfect teniinla. Uy tolling a troe here and there as the time offered, there would be an unobstructed view of the lagoon, the eurf on the barrier-reef, the ocean beyond and anything that mfM happen along In the shape of a passing ship. Water, they thought, would have to be fetched and carried all the way from the river, and that was a nuisance, but It couldn't be helped. In this matter, as events proved, they wore mistaken. Tbelr cave, upon more Intimate examination by torches made of candle-nuts, after twisting and turning and appearing to lead Into tbe bowels of the earth, ted Instead to a seepage of water (and If It seeped now, It would flow when the rains came) and beyond that to a practicable opening onto tbe other side of the valley shoul der. Tbla last opening, like tbe Qrst, was inaccessible , from tbe ground without tbe aid of a ladder. It was at the head or a narrow precipitous gully In which thore was an Incred Ibte tangle of guavas and wild or angos. Their bouse bad thus a front door and a back, one line room "flood enough for anybody," they s.xld, and running water, TO remove thotr effects from tbe uhnre to the cave was a matter ot many goings and comings and two days' time. Eariy on the morning of the sec ond day, and on tbelr first trip to the cave, they flushed a phoananl Ivy thought that It was one of those which hud flown ashore from the Unldoro. ftn extraordinary night for a pheasant, but she could not be sure. Or the othor birds and boasts the? neither saw nor heard any sign. It looked as If they were to have less Company than Adam and Eve had bad In Eden. Time of course meant nothing They had oodles of lL And thc went about the Improvement of their tot In lire slowly and method! cally. Two Immediate Improvements were a notched ladle- for the back reach, but If they ever ate their way through all the things that had come ashore with thorn, and through all tbe plga and the goats, be end Ivy would no longer have the free dom of the Island. It would be ti J f II cult and dangerous to keep them selves In" food. The fact that his guns had been stolen rankled In bis I) roust He had loved them. And now he needed them. The lack of an effective weapon might make all the differ ence between a paradise set In tbe turguolse sens, and a hell. But he did not speak of his mis givings to Ivy. If she bad any mis glvlngs of hor own, she kept them to herself. She loved him with all her heart, and he loved ber In the same way. And Helen, In her own curious way, loved both ber mistress and her newly found master. Helen was. Id addition, quite the busiest mem ber of the party. It was she who superintended the removal of each separate piece of luggage. Including ber own suitcase. She took no chances with her suit case this time. She scrambled up the Improvised staircase loading to the cave ahead of Bowers, each time he made the trip, and occasionally lonped to tbe top of the load be wits carrying, and nearly overbalanced him. On these occasions she shrieked violently to Ivy, standing helpless below, and spoke to Bowers In sailor language But at night Helen was as quiet as bor wornout master and mis tress, and for the same reason. Tbe work of carrying the d utile to the foot of tbe ladder was Inconsequen tial compared with the work ot get ting it up the laddor. So (hat at the end of each day w'tor supper and a good look aboui 10 be sure that no ship was ap proachlng, three extmustod bodlrs roll Into sleep from which nothing short of another eruption by their volcanic neighbor could have aroused them. And whon daylight .time three refreshed and alort waifs rose to confront a new day. (CefVitil, 19)4. CoiNft'M Herri) success, the conclave will be held yearly In the future. Medford repre sentatives put In a strong bid for the convention to be held here next year, McMahon said. All agencies In the northern divi sion were represented by unit which specialized in singing. Instrumental music and other forms of entertain ment. The picnic was held In the fairgrounds at Centralla.' which had been rebuilt for the occasion. Ath letic games, special vaudeville act and a bathing beauty contest, were also presented as a part of the pro gram. Mr. Kendrlck acted as Judge lor the bathing beauty contest. Besides the Med ford train, there were special trains carrying groups from Walla Walla, Spokane, Seattle, and Portland. Special Representative Douglas, of Juneau, Alaska, arrived at Centralla by airplane. In the Med ford train a baggage car had been attached, In which dancing was In dulged In during the trip, with music furnished by members of the delega tion. They arrived at Centralla Sun day at 10 a. m.. where besides the other entertainment they witnessed an airplane circus, sponsored with licensed army filers by two northern divisions.
