CHAPTER XIII
From the Society lelande to the
Cook lelande In an Open Boat.
IT HAS been something of a sport
1 of recent years to cross the At­
lantic and even the Pacific In a
small boat, sometimes under sail and
sometimes under motor power. Tiny
craft have done It, and at best It
Is not a comfortable kind of voyage.
In sporting events, your ocean-going
small boat always had a cabin, or
an Imitation of one. That Is what
we should have had, but we were
not so lucky, and besides, the loud
we carried made existence aboard
our lifeboat that had been convert­
ed into a cruiser a cramped affair
Indeed.
There was only one place we
could trust to be dry, the buoyant
air tanks at the sides of the boat.
In these we packed our hardtack, a
few pieces of clothing, photographic
apparatus, and all-important tobac­
co. It affected the buoyancy of our
craft, but we had to keep some
things awa.v from the sea water. In
the body of the bout were placed
the water tanks, our large supply
of weapons and ammunition, cord­
age for the rigging, and several
spare sails. Canvas shields at the
side, which would be drawn over
at the top and be made to form
some kind of tent, sheltered us
somewhat from waves and dirty
weather. Without these we should
have been practically drowned. Four
mattresses could be stretched on
the bottom, where four men could
sleep while two kept watch. As a
concession to civilization, we had
six pairs of knives and forks, six
mugs, a coffee pot, and $5,000 in
silver, gold, and paper, much of it
in pounds sterling.
At six In the morning, the two
men on watch filled the coffee pot
aud applied tire to It from a solder­
ing lamp. With the slightest breeze

impossible to bring the water to a

tepid coffee-bean soup Instead of
coffee. After toilets had been made
with salty sea water, we squatted
In the cockpit for breakfast of cof­
fee and hardtack. Navigation was
difficult In so small a boat. It was
impossible to spread the charts out
properly, and with the slightest
carelessness the wind might take
our priceless navigation papers
overboard. We had to use the sex­
tant and other navigation Instru­
ments in a boat that often pitched
so much we could scarcely stand.
The papers, charts, tables, loga­
rithms, and so on, got sopping wet,
and when we dried them In the sun
they grew swollen and difficult to
handle.

British resident, lie lay stretched
out In his shirt and trousers on a
Borneo long chair on his porch, and
didn't even get up when we ap
proached. He was a good looking
fellow, hut lazy as the devil. The
lassitude of the South seas had
certainly got him.
“My name Is Van Houten," I be­
gan, “and this la my chief officer
Southart.”
The resident looked at me suspi­
ciously. It was a true British mis­
trust. Ordinarily, your Englishman

for everything. Their brains seemed

who spoke English better than I
did. continued:
“We are Americans of Dutcli
birth. A few months ago we made
a het at the Holland club In San
Francisco that we would sail from
Honolulu In an open boat via the
Cook Islands to Tahiti and back to

a certificate that we have been

The resident yawned, looked ns
over with a watery eye and replied.
“Well, a man must he a hell of
a fool to go In for that kind of

"Sure,” Klrchelss said politely,
“but Just the mime, we should like
to have the certificate. Won’t you
give It to us or tell us who will?"
"Oh, to hell with you. don’t bother
me. I’ve Just had dinner and want
to take my nap.”
Even his British mistrust, with
which he first regarded us, sub­
sided Into the Indescribable some­
thing that comes over a white man
who yields to the soft enervation of

merely as mad fellows who wanted
him to do something too crazy to
merit his consideration.
