There was practically little danger
that Sebastiano would succeed in ac-
complishing anything; not being a nav-
igator, his investigations were pure
guesswork and dead reckoning from
0 u a jail. Even if he did locate the reef,
1 was positive that he had no diving
apparatus, and he. couldn't do much
without—that. I knew from my own
experience. The principal tiling that
worried me wns the chance of his run-
ning across my equipment in the fis-
sure, and taking it with me was out of
the question. While thinking the mat-
ter over I wondered if the padre hnd
investigated Fray Ignacio's bo*. A
scrap of conversation with fiartolo- j
meo which I had overheard implied I
that he had; it indicated considerable
displeasure with the resident padre
for some reason or other. If such were
really the rose it might be months
before anyone connected with the
church would have occasion to visit
either the crypt or the room contain-
ing the votive offerings again, and this
juve me an idea.
Ihe islanders are intensely supersti-
tious, and it lias always been n policy
of the church to foster this character-
istic. So that, if I could add to the al-
ready bad rrputation of Tarofofo bay.
neither threats, bribes nor persuasion
would avail to get a native within
miles of the place. In view of this fact
my friend with the diseased wishbone
seemed particularly fitted, for the pur-
pose, if 1 could only spirit him away
Sebastiano had partaken heartily ol
his late supper that evening, and, be-
tween them, the padres had. punished
a vast quantity of wine. Aside from
this, they were thoroughly tired out
by their day upon the water, and in
ali probability would sleep like logs.
So, an hour or so after they had re-
tired, I cautiously slipped into the
church through the little postern, sa
I had done before.
Not a soul appeared to be wtirring
The fact of the door being unlocked
was suspicious—I hnd expected to pick
It with a piece of wire—but, as there
was no time for investigation, X stole
Into the cloisters and through the pas-
sage which led to the chamber contain-
ing the horrible images. The figure 1
was after had been well put together,
and was heavier than it should have
been, besides; but, though the ghastly
thing gave me cold shivers, I pulled it
from the fastenings with little cere-
mony.
Holding the dummy upright before
tne, 1 quietly returned, and was about
to open the postern, when the door
suddenly swung wide, revealing a burly
form in ihe moonlight outside. It was
Sebastiano; but, fortunately for me
his head was not as clear as usual, lie-
ing an inveterate smoker, his nerves
often went back upon him; and no
mortal digestion could stand the abuse
he had given his that evening without
protesting Altogether, he was in a
bad way. Nothing but an object of
vital importance could have forced him
to venture upon a nocturnal prowl in
such a condition. The moonlight must
have given that wax ligure an aspect of
blood-curdling horror, for, with a gasp
of surprise and mortal terror, th'>
padre turned and ra.i .ictosa the little
square, around the tribunal, through
the plaza, ilien over ihe bridge to the
beach. 1 had seen my advantage in au
instant, and, holding the figure so that
it covered me entirely, glided rnpidly
after him. When we struck the beach
he dodged around a proa which lay
hauled up on the sand, and, with a
screech of fright, doubled back over
the lower bridge. Picking up a gned-
sized lump of coral, I threw it with all
my might and struck him fairly be-
tweeu the shoulders. That settled it;
he ran as if the devil were after him,
not darirg to look round.
Since arriving at Agana, I had be-
come acquainted with the. islander
Miguel, who had pres. nted the church
with his efflgy in wax after recovering
from his strange and terrible disease",
well enough to remember the proa in
which he always sailed. This lay not
far from my own; and It seemed em-
inently fitting that the owner's ghost
should put to sea in it. I,est anyone
should have nerve enough to watch the
proceedings, 1 propped the ligure in
the stern, where, concealing me, it
would show distinctly, then sailed
around the island to Tarofofo as fust
as the craft would travel. Upon reach
Ing the cove, 1 secured Br'er .Miguel
among the rocks on Point Paicpouc in
•tich a way that, while invisible from
the outside, no one could "titer the
bay without seeing him. Considering
the possibility of discovery bv some
one with suflicleut education and cour-
age to investigate the thing, It seemed
risky to put it on the point where my
(isbiire was.
There was no time to reach the town
again before daybreak; sn. runnitigup

A valley which lay along the east, p.

o'clock I pushed through a banana
patch directly in the rear of the gober-
nador i misc. As it happened, there
was no one in the patio, and. mounting
to my room unobserved, I came down
again directly with a couple of towels.
Having had no sleep, and considerable
hard work, 1 felt just rocky enough for
a good swim; it also seemed an excel-
lent excuse for early rising in case any-
one should have noticed my move-
ments.
CHAPTER XIL
Sebastiano looked like a wreck when
he appeared that morning. He ac-
counted for this upon the ground of
illness to which he was occasionally
subject, and said that he would be
I obliged to rest for several days—that
j he had been working too hard upon
j his book. But in some mysterious
way the story of his night experience
leaked out. The disappearance of
Miguel's proa started the inquiries;
then another islander, who had him-
self received a bud scare, testified to
having been wakened by a blood-curd-
ling scream In time to see Padre Se-
bastiano running before Miguel's
ghost, which subsequently embarked in
his own boat and put to sea. Thi
>arn was ridiculed by Burtoloroeo
until lie investigated his tigure-cham
ber and found the
gruesome company
one apparition short; then he told Se-
bastiano about it and partook of hi«
uncomfortable feelings. Their com-
mon sense told them that a wax fig-
ure couldn't transport itself without
help; malicious human help; but their
conviction that every door had been
locked, and Sebastiano's positive as-
sertion that th# thing had certainly
chased him of its own accord and ab-
solutely without assistance or visibl(
mechanism, simply couldn't bo ex-
plained away. At first t>he churchmen
were at a loss whether to feel com-
plimented or alarmed by the various
and peculiar manifestations with
which they had been favored; but the
more they failed to account for them
on natural or scientific grounds the
more they became impressed with a
sense of un worthiness. As for Miguel,
the native who had been at such ex-
pense to import a suitable wfligy oi
himself, he thought his time had come.
But after reflecting upon his ghost'i
departure from the island, which
could be interpreted in no other light
than as a solemn warning, he moved
his entire family to Saipan. where, hav-
ing no bnrangay to live upon, they
were occasionally forced to work.
Judging that it would now be safe to
leave (iuujan for a few days, I told I>or-
oteu of my intention. At first the at-
tempt to reach Yap in an open boat
seemed little short of madness to her,
but after explaining that I was able to'
find my position from the sun, as she
had seen oflicers do aboard ship, she re-
luctantly admitted that it might be
done. \\e were beginning to under-
stand each other pretty well by this
time. Making me look straight into
her beautiful eyee, she let me see why
the thought of my possible danger tor-
mented her.
Miguel's ghost had sailed away on
Tuesday morning, the 14th. and. ac-
cording to our previous calculations,
U.'ilstead would arrive in Tomll bay
about daybreak of the following Sun-
day. Figuring that, before the wind,
my proa would cover the 452 miles
between Guajan and Yap in 2:i hours
at the outside, and not w ishing to hang
about Tomil among strangers who
iiii' 111 ,,s'( dangerous questions con-
cerning my strange appearance, I post-
poned the Start until Saturday morn-
ing. I lien w as, of course, an element
of risk in thi.v--a possibility that I
might fail to reach the island on time;
but I hail a good deal of confidence
both in m\ ability as a navigator and
ing. 1 had noticed a peculiar ha/e
■cross the sun when it first came up;
md, looking again after heading for
Tomil, 1 could plainly distinguish the
smoke from a steamer's funnel; there
being no other in that vicinity, I knew
it must be the good old Countess. My
proa was going through the water
nearly two knots to her one; so, hold-
ing on until 1 was directly in her
course, I took in sail and let her over-
haul me. On she came, nearer and
nearer; 1 could make out her yards,
the boats at the davits, one of the
mates on the bridge; then 1 could see
Halstead come out of his room, climb
to the bridge and fix his glass on the
island. As tbe steamer came nearer. I
waved my helmet and shouted. They
recognized this with a salute from the
whistle, but paid no further attention,
which put me quite out of patience;
1 would show them their old tub wasn't
in it with an island proa. Up went my
sail, and in a few moments I wasalong-
slde, near enough to shout:
"What's that matter with you fel-
lows? Can't you be civil enough to
stop and pass the time of day with a
friend? You needn't be so stuck up,
Hick. I'll bet a doubloon onza that I
can give the Countess five knots and
beat her into Tomil from here."
I could see the color fade out of Hal-
stead's face a he leaned far over the
rail and looked at me. As for Diaz.
his eyes almost started from his head.
"Harry, old man, it isn't really you,
Is it? For God's sake grab a line and
come aboard. No, I'm not fool enough
to race your proa. Here, Diaz, swing
your starboard tackle over that cata-
maran and make fast to her, then lay
her up on the to'gall'nt fo'e'ele.
Ktsvens'll tell us all about it after he's
had something to eat."
The compass, lop, sextant and bag
of doubloona I hastily stowed in a can-
vas sack which Halstead lowered to
me at the end of a stout line; then,
mounting to our old quarters, we
hugged each other like two grixzlie
before saying a word.
With ths bag of doubloons upon the
table between us, I told him what I had ,
accomplished. It was all too good to ?5,es offle,,r «nd crew, repair, and

""Hie devil 1 Well, any way you look
at it. Dick, we've got to remove that
stuff inside of 30 days. If it can't lie
done one way it must another. There's
money on that reef to buy a fleet of
steamers, or to settle any indebtedness
we may incur. Can't you charter a
pessel in Manila?"
"I was just thinking of that. Yes, 1
jould, of course. Yet it wouldn't be
safe to take anything but un English
or Dutch bottom. I'd want to pick
my own crew and know pretty well
who were on board; couldn't do that
with one of the compania's boats, and
there might happen to be nothing else
in port. There's one thing that might
be done, and—1 guess—it would work."
"What's that?"
"Charter the Countess herself from
the government, for a month. You
know she connects with the Saigon
Messageries boat, taking in Yloilo on
the return trip, between the island
voyages; at least, that is the tempo-
rary arrangement. Now, between each
trip we usually lay up at Cavite for two
weeks; and Ilamirez has twice tried to
charter her for a quick run to Hong-
Kong in that time. The Countess
would easily make Guajan and Hong-
Kong, out of Manila, in 16 days at the
outside, allowing a day and a half to
load at the island, if we needed it.
Then we could reach Saigon in five
days more, and turn her over to the
government in time to make the Mes-
ageries connection all right."
"What would it cost to charter her?"
"Weil, probably a little more than
what the compania pays. She'll regis-
ter over .1,000 tons, gross, and can do
14 knots when she wants to; that's
pretty stiff traveling for compound
engines of this size. But the govern-
ment don't care for more'n ten knots;
so they pay Ramirez &. Co. $.5,500 a
month. I guess we could have her at
$6,000, easy enough."
"Any expenses beiides that?"
"Of course there are. Coal bills, at
least $9,000 a month, if you keep shov-
ing 14 knots out of her. She'll burn
over 38 tons a dsy at that pee<i, and
you can't get decent, free-burning coal
in Manila for less than eight dollars.
Then thore are port charges, consul s
fees, demurrage and numerous inci-
dentals, all of which fall upon the
charterer. The owner pays the sal

"Well, have yon also seen the big lot
of copra, in bags, under another shed
about half way between them and'the
pier?"
"I remember the bngii, but I didn't

I had brought the yarn down to my
coming aboard half an hour before, he
spread a handful of the douiiloons
upon the table and scraped one with a
file to make sure of its genuineness.
Taking his pencil out, he asked:
"How many have you in this bag?"
"A little under 1,300. I figured the
weight at something like 80 pounds
troy."
"And they're worth more than $15.50
each. Y\ hy, man, there must be nearly
$20,000 right here on this table!"
"About that. It was rather bulky
luggage, but I thought we'd have to
use money in getting the stuff away
from Guajan, so brought it along.
Now. how in blazes are we going to
manage it? I've thought of a dozen
schemes, but there's a hitch in every
one of them. If I wait three months
for you, we stand a chance of losing
every dollar before the steamer shows
up—always providing she is sent out

that a realization of my position im-

consequently over 200 miles from the

the open sea, with nothing but a hol-
low tree-trunk and a few sticks be-
tween me and eternity. It was a pe-
culiar feeling, yet there was nothing

was too great for that. My chief , -i
