Chapter 30
FARLEY MAKES TROUBLE
A NNB only sensed the growing
unrest at first, for John bad
warned everyone that she was to be
kept from knowing the truth of
things If possible, for her own
lafety.
At first she was concerned only
with delight In her growing koowl
sdge and Increasing strength. Her
Urn body was rounding, her skin
becoming a dusky gold, cheeks and
lips flushed with scarlet. The mop
of curls, cut short so they could be
pushed under her cap, were the
color of sage honey.
And then, as she found bed of
an evening less attractive, she be
gan to notice a change In Lllsa. She
would come in worn out In spirit
as well as In body.
"Lllsa." pled Anne one Sunday,
"won't you tell me what's wrong?"
"1 don't know," the woman ad
mitted, "of course we have more
work with this run, but It's some
thing else, something In the air.
Things aren't harmonious like they
were when Mr. Luke was alive."
"What things, Lllsa?"
"Oh, i don't know, Tom Farley's
relatives, the place Is running over
with them and they all want to boss.
If 1 hadn't worked there seventeen
years I'd try to And another Job."
Tom Farley. At the mention of
that name, Anne retreated to her
corner overlooking the Pad tic,
while memories of the pa&t rushed
over her. Lee hadn't told Judge
Kellogg of the outcome of bis In
vestigation, though she'd beard
nothing much from the fishermen.
She sensed trouble, rather than
knew of It, Farley was unquestion
ably working with Rob Crocker, and
the two wouldn't give up easily.
She went to work the next morn
ing In thoughtful mood. A grey day,
a, silver grey day, she doclded, as
they started out on a sea as smooth
and shining as an aluminum tray.
She watched the world turn from
grey to blue as a gentle rain blew
up. This would be good for her
garden and she wanted It a blaze of
colors whpn John returned.
When John returned. Her days re
volved about that thought On the
late drift, after supper was over
and the little galley cleaned, she
sat outside thinking of him.
Some day they would sit thus,
watching net buoys bobbing like
scarlet blobs on the water, watch
ing other boats, catching the first
glimpse of the Cape light.
And then her revery was In
terrupted. George had jumped to bis
feet and wns looking off towards As
toria. "Look at that fool," he
shouted to Orvl, pointing to a small
cruiser ducking In front of a big
freighter, tooting derisively. "He
must be drunk."
The boat careened, seemed to
sight the "Nlkkl" Idling on ber
drift, and darted towards them.
George Jumped to the roof of the
cabin and hoenn waving and shout
Ing. Orvl turned on the searchlight
and directed It towards the buoy
lights.
BUT on the cruiser came. Anne
looked at George, he was stand
ing still now, like a stMue. Orvl, too,
seemed numb; only the men In the
nearby gllnetters were sounding
sirens, tooting whistles.
The boat cut In between two buoy
lights. Stopped.
"On purpose, be did It!" cried
Orvl, suddenly articulate, as the
buoy lights were dronched.
And now to the din was added the
sound of cursing aboard the boat
"He's tangled his propeller In
our nets," Orvl walled, and then he
broke Into Finnish and Anne, under
standing, longed to Join him.
A man came out on the tiny deck
reeled drunkenly, then steadied
himself and swnre belligerently at
the crew of the N'lkkt: at all fish
ermen who cluttered up the way and
thought they owned the whole Pa
cific. Oi vi, stricken, looked at him.
"One thousand dnllars," he walled
as the man swung over the stern to
slnfih at the water with a blade,
"our net, he can't do that to our net"
Other voices Joined from nearby
boats and Anne caught occasional,
words. "Fellow working for the

it made good."
The powerful engine of the boat
started Its hum, strangled, stopped.
It started again, choked. Time after
time the performance was repeated,
then suddenly It started towards thi
gilnetter.
Paralyzed, Anne watched until It
came close. Horrified she faced tba
man who bad slashed the net Tom
Farley, sobered now, stared at her
In amazed recognition.
The gilnetter tipped with the wash
of their wave as they veered by,
and Anne sank to the floor of the
boat
There was no use of staying long
on the river. Anne looked at the
dangling net as George drew It slow
ly In. The great gash slashed In It
bad released the fish. Only a tew
were entangled In what was left
"Like silk. It was," murmured
OrvL
They turned back to Union Town
with scarcely a word spoken be
tween them.
George broke the silence once.
And I thought this would be ma's
last summer at the cannery," be
said.
When they bad tied up to the
wharf, Anne spoke. "Come up to my
house, we'll pass yours quietly so
Tecla won't hear."
But Tecla did bear. She had sat
watching the lone boat putting back
from the drift and like every other
woman with a man on the water,
sbe wondered what was wrong.
There Is trouble," she said, open
ing the rear door and confronting
them as they started up the stairs.
"Yes," answered the boys.
LIISA heard the tramp of feet and
met them at the door. She took
one look at their faces, then hurried
them In, fiercely cheerful, her top
knot riding her head like the comb
of a fighting cock.
Coffee we'll have, and I've cheese
left to dip In It" She turned to
Orvl, "take the crepe off your face!
and build a fire; Nlkkl's cold." '
"I'm not," faltered Anne, and
shivered with nervousness.
Your spirit is; an open fire
warms the heart"
Listening to their tale. Lllsa cut
squares of the leathery curd choese
as If she were cutting squares from
the hides of the vandals who had
ruined the net She plopped them
Into the steaming coffee.
"Drink, then talk," she snapped.
The fire crackled merrily, boots
were pulled off and wool stockinged
feet stretched towards the blaze.
The fishermen three, heartened by
the steaming beverage, found their
gloom lifting.
"We could mend the net," George
decided, "but it would take till the
end of the season."
"Don't worry, boys," Anne was
trying to remember how much
money was left In her account
"We'll buy a new one."
"It would be better to sue, and
make them buy It for us," Orvl said
In protest
"We couldn't sue Tom Farley,"
Anne countered.
"Farley!" Tecla sat up straight
"Wns he there?"
"He was the one who slashed the
net,"
"N'lkki,' Tecla leaned forward,
"He saw you? He knew who you
were?"
"Yes," answered Anne, "he recog
nized me."
Tecla leaned bark, a look of fatal
istic resignation on her face. "I t'lnk
Farley, he come tojrou boys to pay,"
she said.
"What?" they all cried. In unison.
"Yes." she answered wearily, "he
come to make the offer, but he come
to see Nlkkl."
And Anno felt this was true. Hav
ing lAitn her In the Rnrkl hrothAra
boat, be would try to learn ber !
whereabouts. Knowing she was not
In a sanitarium, but rather with the
people he was Intont upon harming,
he would want to know why she
wss there and what she was doing.
"I wish John was here." blurted
Orvl.
John. Anne's heart quickened Its
beat at the name.
"Maybe you'd better go, Nlkkl,"
Tecla suggested.
"Go whore?" she asked.
"To safety," Tecla answered.
"nut, Tecla," shs protested, "he
can't do anything to me. I've done
no wrong and surely he can't molest
me In my own home."
"She's right," Lllsa confirmed, and
the top knot nodded emphatically,
"she's every right in the world to
he here. We've good locks or the
door and I'd like to see the color
of the man's hair who'd try to hurt
her when I was around."
