In this strain and cursed bis bore­

The resident was still rambling
on in Ids lazy monotone w hen along
came a man who wore a cassock
and had a bearu down to his waist.
He was a French missionary priest
who was overjoyed when we salut­
ed him with a few words of French.
The resident and an English trader
were the only two white men on
the Island besides Idmself, and
neither talked uny French.
“Aliens, allons,” he shouted, “by
Joe, boys, you must pay me a visit."
And straightway he seized our
arms and took us over to Ids mis­
sion house. There he poured out
glasses of excellent wine.
“You are Americans,” he cried
“you tight for la France? You are
Hollanders. Ah, It Is too bad that

“I think we will put In at Altuta
kl,” I replied. That was the nearest
island and the next field of action
in our hunt for a ship.
“Fine,” exclaimed the priest cor­
dially. “I have a friend there. Yon
must call on Idm. Just mention my
name. He will be delighted to see
you. He Is a Hollander, too.”
A Hollander, too?
And out
knowledge of the Dutch language
was so strongly salted with a Ger­
man accent I In that case, when
we got to AltutakI we certainly
would be anything but Hollanders,
probably Norwegians.
Everywhere on the island were
trees and fruits, coconuts, bananas,
mangoes, and oranges. On the
streets of the village, with its
thatched huts, were South sen
beauties, who wore wreaths ot
flowers and had dark, flashing eyes.
They gazed with interest on the
foreign sportsmen, the story ol
whose cruise on a bet had spread
among the natives. We took aboard
what provisions we needed and set
sail for AltutakI.

egough to hold the water out. The
sea was heavy and continually
washed Into the boat Often we
balled as many as two hundred and
fifty palls an hour. Everything no|
stowed in the side tanks got wet.
When the rain stopped for a
while, the waves and spray kept
things from drying. We were soaked
to the skin and never did get dry.
Our blankets and mattresses were
dripping wet. When we lay In the
sodden bedding, we were freezing
cold, and couid sleep scarcely at
all. Often It was a relief to be
called to go on watch. Then nt
least we could thresh our arms
about and get warm. Cooking was
almost Impossible now. and we sel­
dom ever got coffee anything like
hot.
Once we saw a waterspout form­
ing right before our eyes. A fine,
whirling drizzle close to the water
attracted our eyes. It revolved ever
more rapidly, seizing wider musses
of water. In the sky was a little
black thundercloud extending down
ward In the shape of a funnel. The
whirl of spray on the water ran up
swiftly. The cone of the thunder­
cloud stretched down to meet it.
They came together and united. A
roaring and sound of bursting, a
tremendous suction of water, anil
skv and sen were connected by a
whirling column.
Gyrating and
swaying it moved in our direction.
Our boat lay in a calm. Not a
breath of air around us. Will this
wandering giant strike us and break
upon us, deluge and swamp us?
Automatically Leudemann at the
rudder tries to steer as. Without
wind our boat cannot move, much
less steer. But the roaring monster
collapses with a deafening clap. Its
mass of water falls upon the sea.
and from It a circular swell spreads
out. We rock uncomfortably and
thank heaven. During our voyage
among the islands we narrowly es­
caped several similar spouts.
After three days we found our­
selves steering our way through
the maze of reefs, very beautiful
but perilous, that extend out in
front of the landing place at Al-
tutakl. Again there was no ship in
sight, but again one might be
scheduled to arrive within some
reasonable time. That was our
hope. A crowd of natives gathered
to watch us come in, also half a
dozen white men, among whom was
the British resident. He was a tall,
lanky fellow who wore glasses, «nd
looked a perfect picture of Presi­
dent Wilson. We found this resi­
dent to be full of the same British
suspicion. Unlike his colleague at
Atlu. he was in no wise lost in trop­
ical indolence, but was active anti
shrewd. We saw that lie enter­
tained the liveliest doubts about us.
Might we not be wandering Ger-
mana? Of course, he could not
venture any forcible measures to

case where would be be? He had
no force to match ours. We tried

havior. We thought our sporting

plausible enough. It was too bad
that we could not use the other
resident's certificate, but In It were
wiitten our supposed Dutch names
and now we were Norwegians.
The resident began by saying to
us tiiat we would no doubt be de­
lighted to meet a fellow country­
man of ours. Tills "countryman
turned out to be a Norwegian car­
penter. We surmised at once that
he had been Instructed by the resi­
dent to talk with us and see whether
we were really Norwegians. My
Norwegian was bad. but Kircheiss
spoke the language like a native. I
kept severely out of the way, and
let Kircheiss have a long, friendly
talk with the carpenter. Kircheiss
convinced his man that he was as
Norse as the Vikings. The carpen­
ter was delighted to m°et a fellow
countryman so Jovial and, as Kirch­
eiss represented, so wealthy. He
promptly reported to the resident
that we were the truest Norsemen
alive and could In uo wise be Ger­
mans.
The resident, with his Inscrutable

We suspected it was n dodge to
separate us. Seemingly, the Nor­
wegian's assurance had not fully
allayed the mistrust of these un­
easy Ecitons.
Kircheiss and I
made every excuse we could to
keep together, but the hospitality
was so pressing that we could not
refuse any longer without practi­
cally giving ourselves away.
“Even if we are apart,” 1 said to
Kircheiss on the side, “we have our
pistols and hand grenades, by Joe.
We will keep our eyes open, and
we can take care of ourselves
single-handed. If anything looks
wrong, we will fight our way to the
boat.”
We dined pleasantly enough. The
resident talked a lot, although lie
did not seem to be naturally a talk­
ative kind. He asked me many
questions, which I answered can-
