CHAPTER VI
aTXL," mentioned Kay to
Priscilla, "there wu your
ebance to (lvt the man piece of
eur mind. And you never opened
your mouth."
"How could I?" asked the blond
, Member of the trio. "After Melita
hid pulled the boner with the
lading anchor and be was so nice
bout It I couldnt very well be
unpleasant, could I?"
,'Not possibly," said Melita. "He
wis too good-looking." She hur
ried forward to have another try
it, anchoring the "Chinook." This
time, following the advice of the
young man from the "Mistral,"
aha wu successful. Soon the little
cruiser was riding pleasantly, and
the three girls busied themselves
with the preparation of a belated
dinner.
" L"I wonder who our friend was,"
nlbsed Kay as they sat down to
the table. "Do you suppose we
jjiould have accepted his invita
tion to breakfast?"
"And run the chance of being
shanghaied?" exclaimed Melita
cautiously. "Not on your life!
We've got our own little cruise to
take care of." She peered out of
the window toward the white
yacht which could still be seen in
the gathering dusk. "I'll admit it
would be pretty nice riding in that
Battleship."
""."Be satisfied with what you
Have," suggested Priscilla com
jji¢ly. "Didn't our friend say
that we d probably see nun again;
at more do you want?
ImXhey were washing dishes In
the galley when a nail armea
across the water, obviously from a
megaphone.
-Ahoy, 'Chinook'! "
The girls looked at each other.
"I'll bet," said Melita, "they want
to" play bridge."
"Dont flatter yourself," Kay
told her. "I'll go aft and see what
jthey want." She went to the cock
pit and yelled across the water.
" ""'Better not forget your anchor
Jlight," a pleasant voice called.
; --'Oh . . . thanks," Kay yelled
fcack.
--,6he returned to the galley
- somewhat subdued. "I forgot
'. tnut the white light forward
' Jthen at anchor."
Prise ilia's face was a comic
study. "Is that all he wanted? I
wish he was longer on sociability
and shorter on advice."
""That was good' advice," Kay
defended. "And don't forget we
. turned down his breakfast invita
tion." "You did," Priscilla pointed out
."i a a a
TRUE to their plans, they were
J moving out of Fairweather
Cove at dawn the next morning.
. To their utter astonishment, the
Mistral" had already gone!
7"That's darned funny," said
" Melita. "They must have had that
breakfast of theirs pretty early."
n,!Trobably they're going to catch
favorable tide," Kay told her.
"In that fast boat they could catch
tide we couldn't hope to hit in
the 'Chinook' with its slower speed
, We'll have to make use of the
charts today, hearties! Mel, will
you get out the chart Jim Pike
' marked "Number One' Fair
weather Cove to Denton's Point?"
" Bolstered with the confidence
Yesterday's cruising had given
them, and alert after a dreamless
sleep in Fairweather Cove, the
fcipper and crew of the little
.."Chinook" got along famously.
Late that afternoon they stopped
at a small fuel and supply dock.
FLAPPER FANNY
-cow m? v nu tiivtec.
"Well, you said I haddi be in the
a all they had left?"
1 -
Jim Pike had recommended that
they refuel there, as further on
was a wilder country where fuel
stations would be fewer and towns
not at alL
While Kay stayed with the ship
to oversee the refueling, Melita
and Priscilla could not resist an
Intriguing path winding up
through the woods. They had their
first slight experience with "sea
legs," for after the bouncing on
the little boat the earth beneath
them seemed actually Insecure.
Forgetting the passage of time,
they followed the path further
than they knew then suddenly
Melita looked at her wrist. "We'd
better get back. Kay will be wild."
She was. "You've been gone an
hour. I was just about to start
out after you."
"We're sorry," said Priscilla
gaily. "We didnt think you'd
worry."
"Worry? I wasn't worrying
about anything except getting to
Larramore Island by nightfall.
Now we won't make it without
running at night."
The gas station attendant
grinned helpfully. "You won't
have any trouble. Use your
searchlight on the shoreline. On
this end of Larramore there's a
blinker."
"I didnt plan to run at night."
Kay explained. "Isn't there a good
anchorage this side of Larramore
Island?"
"Well, there's one or two," the
attendant said. "But you can make
Larramore without any trouble."
PERVENTLY hoping he was cor
rect, the three girls climbed
aboard. Darkness appeared some
how to fall earlier that day. It
seemed no time at all before Kay
was forced to turn on the "Chi
nook's" running lights. Taking
their inexperience into account,
Jim Pike had planned their cruise
for day running. Now Kay be
came confused and a .little fright
ened, and wasn't at all certain she
could find Larramore Island. A
blinker light, the marine station
attendant had assured her, would
guide her right But suppose the
light was out of commission?
"I'm afraid we've run past it,"
Kay said at last She stood with
Melita and Priscilla in the pilot
house. Over the binnacle light
her face was strained and queer.
Melita was operating the search
light which was mounted atop the
pilot house and controlled by a
lever inside.
Suddenly she cried out "There!
That looks like an island. Do you
suppose that's it?"
"I don't know," Kay confessed
helplessly. "If we were on our
course we should have reached it
three quarters of an hour ago. But
maybe the engine isn't up to its
speed . . . Anyhow, let's take a
chance and anchor here. It's not
well protected, but there's no
wind."
."Look!" exclaimed Priscilla.
"There's cabin back in the trees.
And it looks as if there's a light
or a fire in the fireplace."
"Good . . . ." Kay turned the
ignition switch. "Let's drop an
chor and go ashore in the dinghy.
At least they can tell us where we
are, and If we can find a safer
anchorage near here."
Soon they were rowing ashore
in the dinghy and Kay was out
with a flashlight the moment the
little boat nosed into the sand.
Melita and Priscilla followed her
up the weed-grown path to where
the cabin was set among the trees.
They saw her stand dead still
as she passed the window. Then
she stepped closer, looked inside.
The two girls behind her . saw
Kay's shoulder stiffen and then
she screamed wildly.
