"Well, what's lu the wind this
rlmeJ" Inquired McGuffey.
"Wo'ro Invited (t a big fccil with
(lie king of Knndnvu," replied Cnptulti
ScrnpgH, us huppy ns n hoy. "Hop Into
a clean suit of ducks, Blue, and come
along. Gib's boIu' to broach n Httlc
keg of liquor and we'll inuko u night
i if It."
"Good lord," granncd McGufToy,
"does tho man think I'm low enough
to cat with niggers?"
"Leave him to his own devices,"
snld Mr. Glbncy, IndulRently. "Mac's
Just as Irish ns If he'd been born In
Dublin, instend of his old man. No
body yet overcome the prejudice of
an Irishman so we'll do the honors
ourself, ScrngKsy, old skittles, nnd
leave Mac In charge of the ship."
"Mind you're both back nt a season
able hour," warned McOuffey. "If you
ain't, I'll suspect mischief and say I

to a man with an ImuKlnatlon? Only
If I have to bo ashore nfter you two,
, those inlanders'!! date time from my
visit, nnd don't you forget It."
Upon arrival at the beach tho two
adventurers were met by n contingent
of frightful-looking savages bearing
Ions spears. As the procession formed
around the guests of honor and
plunged Into the bush, bound for thu
'klnB's wnrJ, two Island mnldens
niurchcd bchlud the two sea-dogs, wav
Iur huge palm-leaf fans, the better to
make the passage u cool and comfort
able one.
"By, the gods of war, Gib, my dear
boy," suld the delighted Captain
Scruggs, "but this Is class, eh, Gib?"
"Kvory time," responded the commo
dore. "If that chucklo-hcuded McOuf
fey only !iad the sense to come along
ha might be enjoyln hluuclf, too. You
must be dlgnlllcd, Scrnggsy, old suhi

you're an American citizen. I5e dlgnl
llcd, by nil means. These people are
Hcnsltlve and peculiar, und thut'H why
we haven't taken any weapons with
ns. If they thought wo doubted their
hospitality they'd have tho court
bouncer heave us out of town before
you could say Jack Robinson."
"I'd love to see them glvbiB the
bounce to McGuffey," said Captain
Scraggs, musingly. Mr. Glbney hod n
Mvlft mental picture of such u proceed
ing nnd chuckled hnpplly. Had he been
permitted n glance nt McGuffey nt
that moment ho might huve observed
that worthy sweltering In the bent of
tho forward hold of the Maggie it,
, for he wns busy getting his guns on
deck. From which It will readily be
deduced that II. McGuffey, Esquire,
was following the advice of his pa
ternal ancestor and getting an anchor
out to windward.
One might ijo on nt great length and
describe the triumphal entry of Com
modore Glbney nnd Captain Scraggs
into the cnpltol of Kandavu; of how
the king, an undersized, shriveled old
savage, stuck his busby head out the
window of his bungnlow when he snw
the procession coming; of how a mln
ute Inter he advanced Into the spnee
In the center of his wnrl, where In the
olden days the populace was wont to
Bather for Its cannibal orgies; how
ho greeted his distinguished visitors
with the most prodigious rubbing of
nos.es seen In those pnrts for many
n dny; of the feast Uiat followed; of
the fowls and pigs that garnished the
festive hoard, not omitting the keg of
Tlrreo Star thoughtfully provided by
Mr. Glbney.
Tabu-Tabu acted ns Interpreter and
everything wont swimmingly until
Tnbn-Tubu, his hospitality doubtless
utrengthened by frcquont libations of
the Elixir of Life, begged Mr. Glbney
to Invite tbo remainder of his crew
ashore for the feast. Mr. Glbney, him
self rather Illuminated by this time,
thought It might not be a bad Idea.
"It! a rotten shame, ScraRKsy," lie
said, "to think of thnt fool McGuffey
not behV here to enjoy himself. I'm
ROln to send u note out by one of
Tabu-Tabu's boys, askln' htm once
more to come ashore, or to let the
Hint mate and one or two of the sea
men corns if Mac still refuses to be
civil."
"Good Idea, Gib," said Captain
Scraggy his mouth full of roast chick
en and yams. So Mr. Glbncy tore a
leaf out of Ills pocket memorandum
book, scrawled a note to McGuffey, and
handed It to Tnbu-Tnbu, who at once
dispatched a messenger with it to
the Maggie II.
Within half an hour the messenger
returned. lie was wildly excited and
poured a torrent of native gibberish
into tho attentive cars of Tabu-Tabu
and the king. Ho pointed several
times to the point of his Jaw, rubbed
the small of his back, nnd once he
touched his nose; whereupon Mr. Glb
ney was awaro that tho said organ had
a slight list to port, and he so in
formed Captain Scraggs. Neither of
the gentlemen nnd the slightest trou

of the mystery. The royal messenger
had been Incontinently kicked over
board by B. McGuffey, Esquire.

at Captain Scraggs, and Mr. Glbney
was suddenly nwure that goose-flesh
was breaking out on the backs of his
sturdy legs. He had a haunting sen
sntlon that not only had he crawled
Into a hole, hut he had pulled thu en
tire aperture In after him. For the
first time he began to fear that he
had been too prcclpltntc, and with the
thought It occurred to thu gallant com
modore thnt he would be much safer
back on the decks of the Maggie II.
Always crafty and Imaginative, how
ever, Mr. Glbney came qulclily to the
front with an excuse for getting buck
to the ship. Ho stepped quickly to
ward the little group around the out
raged royal nmhussndor, and Inquired
the cause of the disturbance. Quiver
ing with rage, Tabu-Tabu Informed
him of what had occurred.
Mr. Glbney's rage, of course, knew
no bounds. Nevertheless, lie did not
have to simulate his rage, for ho wus
truly furious. When he could control
his emotions, he requested Tabu-Tubu
to Inform the king thnt he, Glbney, uc
compnnle'd bv Captain Scraggs, would
forthwith repair to the schooner and
then and there flay Uio offending Mc
Guffey within an Inch of his life. Suit
ing the action to tho word, Mr. Glbney
called to Captain Scraggs to follow
him, and started l'or the bench.
As Captain Scraggs arose, a. trifle
unsteadily, from his seat, a bluck hand
reached aroiuid him from thu rear and
closed over Ids mouth. Now, Captain
Scraggs was well versed In the rough-and-tumble
tactics of the Sim Fran
cisco waterfront; hence, when he felt
a long pulr of arms crossing over his
neck from the rear, he merely stooped
nnd whirled his opponent over his
head. In thnt Instant his mouth was
free, and clear above the shouting and
the tumult rose his frenzied shriek for
help. Mr. Glbney whirled with the
speed and agility of n panther Just In
time to dodgo n blow from a war club.

l'andonwnlum broko loose at once.
Captain Scraggs, after his single shriek
for help, broke from the circle of sav
ages and (led like a frightened rabbit
for the beach. One of the natives
hurled a rock nt him. The missile took
Scraggs In the back of the head, und
bo Instantly curled up In n heap.
"Scrnggsy'.s dead," thought the hor
rilled Glbney, and sprang at the king.
In that moment It came to Mr. Glbney
to hell out dearly, and If he could dis
pose of the king, he felt thnt Scraggs'
death would be avenged, In an Instant
the commodore's great arms had
closed around the king, and with the
helpless monarch In his grizzly hour
grip Mr. Glbney backed up against the
nearest bungalow. A fringe of spears
threatened him In front, but for the
moment he was safe behind, and the
king's body protected him. Whenever
one of the savages made a Jab at Mr.
Glbney, Mr. Glbney gave the king n
boa-constrictor squeeze, uud the mou
urch howled.
"I'll squeere him to denth," panted
Mr. Glbney to Tnbu-Tnbu when that

Esquire, had Just gotten into position

held It in place had Just been screwed
tight when clear and shrill over tho
tops of the Jungle and across the still
surface of the llttlo buy tbere floated
to McGuffey 'b ears the single word:
"Help!"

A
McGuffey leaned against tho gun,
and for the moment he was ub weak
as u child, "Gawd," ho muttered,
"that was Seraggsy and they're a-goln'
to cat him up. Oh, Gib, (lib, old man,
why wouldn't you listen to mo? Now
they've got you, and what in blazes
I'm going to do to get you back, dead
or alive, I duiino,"
It was fully half an hour before poor
McGuffey could pull himself together,
and when be did, his Brief was super
seded by a lit of rase thnt wus ter
rible to behold.
"Step lively, you blastpd scutu of
the sens," ho bawled to tho mate, and
the crew gathered around tho gun.
"Lug bp u case of ummunltlon and
we'll shell that hush until even a par
rot won't be loft nllvc In It."
"Aye, uye, sir," responded the crew
to a man, and sprang to their task.
"I'm nn old navy gunner," said the
first mate quietly. "I'll handle the
gun. With a 'pom-pom' gun it's Just
like playing a garden hose on them,
only It's high-cxploslvc shell Instead of
water. I can search out evpry nook
and cranny In the coast of this Island.
Those guns arc sighted up to 4,000
yards."
"Kill 'em all," raved MeGufCey, "kill
all the blnsted niggers."
When Mr. Glbney fell under the Im
pact of I lie earthenware pot lie was
only partially stunned. As he tried to
struggle to his feet half a dozen baud'
were laid on him and In a trice he was
lifted and carried buck of the warl to
n cJear space where a dozen heavy
tcakwood posts stood In a row about
four feet npart. Mr. Glbney was' quick
ly stripped of his clothing nnd bound
hand and foot to one of these posts.
Three minutes later another delega
Hon of cannibals arrived, bearing the
limp, pnked body of Cnptnln Scraggs,
whom they bound In similar fashion to
the post beside Mr. Glbney. Scruggs
was very while and bloody, but eon
scions, and his pale-blue eyes were
flickering like a snake's.
"What's wbnt's the mcanln' of
this, Gib?" ho gasped.
"It men ns," replied the commodore,
"thnt It's nil off but the shouting with
me nnd you, Seraggsy. This fellow
Tabu-Tubu Is a d d traitor, and his
people urn still cannibals. He's the
decoy to get white men ashore. They
schemed to treat lis nice and be friend
ly until they could get the whole crew
ashore, or enough of them to leave the
ship helpless, and then O Gawd,
Seraggsy, 'old man, can you ever for
give me for gettln' you Into this?"
Captain Scraggs hung his head and
yjulverod like n hooked fish.
"Will they cat us?" he quavered,
finally.
Mr. Glbney did not answer, only
Captain Scraggs looked Into his hor
rified eyes und rend the verdict.
"Die game, Seraggsy," was all Mr.
Glbney could say. "Don't show the
white fenther."
"D'ye think McGuffey could hear us
from here If we was to yell for help?"
Inquired Captain Scraggs hopefully.
"Don't yelp, for Gnwd's sake," Im
plored Mr. Glbney. "We got ourselves
Into this, so let's pay the fiddler our
selves. If we let out one yip and Me
GufTey hears It, he'll come ashore with
his crew and tackle this outfit, oven If
he knows he'll get killed. And that's
Just what will happen to him If be
comes. Let poor Mac stay aboard.
When we don't come back, he'll know
It's nil off, and It' he bus time to think
over It he'll realize it would be foolish
to try to do anything. But right now
Mac's mad as a wet hen, nnd if wo
holler for help Seraggsy, please don't
holler. Die game."
Captain Scraggs turned his terrified
glance on Mr. Glbney's tortured face.
Scraggs was certainly a coward at
heart, but there was something In Mr.
Glbney's unselfishness that touched a
spot In his hard nature a something
he never know he possessed. He
bowed his head nnd two big tears stole
down his wentherbeaten fnce.
"God bless you, Gib, my dear boy,"
he said brokenly. "You're n man "
At this Juncture the king came up
nnd thoughtfully felt or Captain

"Blmeby we eat tthlte man," said
Tahu-Tabu cheerfully.
"If you ent me, you bloody-handed
beggar," snapped Captain Scraggs,
"I'll plzen you. I've chawed tobacco
all my life, and my meat's as bitter as
wormwood."
It was too funny to hear Scraggs
Jesting with denth. Mr. Glbney forgot
his own mental ngony nnd roared with
laughter In Tabu-Tnbu's face. The
cannibal stood off n few feet anil
looked searchlngly In the commodore's
eyes. He was not used to the brand
of white man who could lnngh under
such circumstances, and he suspected
treachery of some kind, lie hurried
over to Join the. king nnd the two he'd
a hurried conversation. Ah a result of
their conference, n huge suvnge was
called over and given some Instruc
tions. Tabu-Tabu handed hlni a war
club and Mr. Glbncy, rightly conjectur
ing that this was the olliclnl cKeeu
tloner, bowed his head nnd waited for
the blow.

and glanced iii. OipJnln Scruggs was
shrieking. By degrees the bells quit
ringing in the commodore's ears, and
this is what lie heard Captain Scraggs
yelling:

obscured his vision for a moment.
Then he understood. McGuffey had a
rapid-lire gun trained on the wari, and,
the savages, with frightful yells, were
fleeing madly from the little shells.
Half a dozen of them lay dead and
wounded close by.
"Hooray," yelled Mr. Glbney, and
dashed at the post which held Captain
Scruggs prisoner, lie Mi nek It a pow
erful blow with his shoulder and
Scruggs and the post crashed to th?
ground, in an instant Mr. Gibuey was
on his knees, tearing at Scraggs' rope
shackles with his teeth. Five minutes
later, Captain Scraggs' hands were
free. Then Scraggs did n JIUo service
for Glbney,
All the time the shells from the Mag-
Ble II were bursting around them
every second or two, and it seemed a.s
if they must be killed before they
could make their escape.
As they tore along through the
Jungle int!i Mr. Glbney's good right
eye (his left was obscured) detected
two savnges crouching behind n clump
of coco palms.
"There's the king and Tabu-Tubu."
yelled Scruggs. "Let's round tho beg
gars up."
"Sure," responded the commodore.
"Weil need 'em for hostages If we're
to get thnt black coral. Weil turn tn
over to .McGuffey."
"I'd better ra.no up u minute, sir,"
said the mate to Mr. McGuffey. "The
gun's getting fearful hot."
"Let her melt, raved McGuffey,
"but keep her workln' for all she's
worth. I'll have revenge for Gib's
death, orsufferin' mackerel I"
.McGuffey once more sat dowii on
the cabin ventilator. He pointed
dumbly to the bench, and there, pad
dling off to the Maggie II. wore two
naked cannibals and two naked white
men In a canoe. Five minutes later
they came alongside. McGuffey met
them at the rail, and he smiled and
licked his lower Up as the trembling
monarch nnd his prime minister, In re
sponse to n severe application of Mr.
Glbney's bands und feet, came llyjng
over the rail. Mr. Glbnej and Captain
Scraggs followed.
"I'm much obliged to you, Mac," said
Mr. Glbney, striving bravely to appear
Jaunty. "One of your first shots came
between my legs and cut the rope Unit

the day following the frightful experi
ence of Commodore Glbney and Otj
tulu Scruggs with the cannibals of
Kandavu, tho members of the Maggie

At tills Juncture the mate, parsing
around McGutfey on his way to the
deck, winked solemnly at Mr. Glbncy,
who bung his war-worn head in simu
lated shame. When the mate had left
tho cabin the commodore pounded
witli his fork on the 'cabin table uud
announceil a special meeting of the
Mngclc II syndicate.
"Tho IJrst business before the meet
lug," said Mr. Glbney, "is to readjust
tho ownership In the syndicate. Me
and Scraggsy's had our beads together,
Mac, and we've agreed that you've
shot your way Into a full one-third in
forest, Instead of n quarter us hereto,
fore. From now on, Mac, you're an
equal owner with me mid Seraggsy,
and now that that matter's settled,
you can quit rlpplu' It Into us on the
inco question nnd suggest what's to be
done In the case of Tuhu-i'ubu and
this cannibal king that almost lured me
and the nnvtgutln' olllccr to our de
struction." "I have (he villains In double Irons
nnd chained to thu mainmast," replied
McGufTcy, "and as n testimonial of my
gratitude for the Incrensed Interest In
the syndicate which you and Scraggs
has Just voted mc, I will sicheme up a
flttln' form of vengeance on them two
tar babies. However, only an extraor
dinary sentence can lit such an ex
traordinary crime, so I must havo time
to think It over. These two bucks Is
mine to do whnt I please with and I'll
take any interference as unnelghboiiy
and unworthy of a sblpinnto."
"Take 'em," said Captain Scraggs
vehemently. "For my part I only nsk
one thing. If jou can see jour way
dear, Mac, to give me the king's scalp
for a tobacco pouch. I'll bo obliged."
"And I," added the commodore,
"would like Tabu-Tabu's siiln bout; for
a clarionet. I'endin' MeGuffey's re
flections on the hnmperiu' of crime In
Kandavu, however, we'll turn our at
tention to the prime object of the ex
pedition. We've had our little fun and
it's high time we got down to business,
ft will be low tide at nine o'clock, so
I suggest. Scraggs, that you order the
mate and two seamen out In the big
whulcboat, together with the dlvln' ap
paratus, and we'll go after pearl oys
ters and black coral. Ah for you, Mae,
suppose you take tho other boat and
Tuhu-Tuhu and the king, and help the
mate. Take a rifle alons with you,
und make thorn cnptlvcs dive for pearl
oysters until they're black In the

"Huh I" muttered the single-minded
McGuffey. "What ure they now? Sky
blue?"
"Of course," continued tho commo
dore, "If n tiger shnrk happens along
nnd picks the niggers up, it nln't none
of our business. As for me and
Seraggsy, we'll sit on deck and smoke.
My head aches nnd I guess Scrnggsy's

"Anythln to be agreeable," acqui
