He is a member of the Wayne family that has been in control of her grandfathers island, Alakoa, since the old mans disappearance. Although Tonga Dick knows who she is, Karen attempts to conceal her identity from him. Duk offers to take her sailing and she accepts. Dick goes to the home of Ernest and Willard, his for a conference regarding their interest In Alakoa. In the course of their discussion it is revealed that the Wayne family obtained the island for a small sum and under the direction of the boys uncle, James Wayne, it has been developed to where It has assets of around three million dollars.

After while Tonga Dick Wayne went aft to stand beside the man at the wheel, but Karen remained at the rail, her eyes on Alakoa. For a long time the island drew The Holokai seemed no nearer. fixed at a given distance from her goal, racing across a restless sea Which forever interposed itself. Under Karens feet the deck of the little vessel pulsed between the steady boom of her Diesel and the shock of the smooth swells she was smashing to pieces as she drove. Stealing a glance over her shoulder, Karen saw that Dick himself now took the wheel. Very much alive with a definite concentration, Tonga Dick Wayne spun his vessel through Alakoas treacherous shoals. A Hawaiian boy was in the bow with a lead line, his eyes turned to Dicks face, but Dick did not call for the lead. A great mound of water rose under the taffrail of the Holokai, slamming her shoreward like a surfboard before it broke and raced along her counter in a thrashing roar. Then suddenly upon the little schooner there was silence unexpected, but complete and final. The engine quit, and the voice of the reef diminished surprisingly, until it seemed no more than a whisper. Effortlessly, on so even a keel that she seemed to glide upon glass, the Holokai drifted under a single scrap of sail into Alakoas little harbor. So absorbing was her interest in the little port that for a while she forgot Tonga Dick; she was even unaware of the scrutiny of a hundred pairs of eyes mostly those of small d boys who swam beside the slowing Holokai. What occupied Karen now was this unfamiliar soil where her father had been born: this land which even yet, if John Colt was to be believed, belonged to her. At one side, just behind the beach, an old warehouse ran, long and low, silver-gra- y from uncounted rains. It was half smothered in a tangle of sea grapes, and over one end hung a vast flame tree of the brightest crimson Karen had ever seen. Out from it ran a massive but crazily leaning pier; and all except the pier seemed lost in the riot of coconuts and hula palms, breadfruit trees and banyans, which made a veritable jungle behind the beach. This ruined development was the old Waterson layout. But the pier that Garrett Water-so- n had built was not the principal landing any more. Farther to the west the Wayne landing stood, a modern concrete dock, long and clean-cuBehind it a number of long, handsome stucco buildings stood, set in parallel. The roadways between them were ornamented with neat rows of date palms, and here everything was well planned, efficient, and clean. One hundred yards from the beach the Holokais anchor roared down, splashing water higher than her booms; and now Dick Wayne was standing beside Karen again. He spoke to her with an impersonal courtesy. The ladders down. If youre brown-skinne- t. ready to go ashore No doubt that is very funny, Karen said incisively; your jokes are perfectly killing. But meantime I am virtually your prisoner, for reasons of your own that I know nothing about. And I dont like it at all. Dick Wayne spoke again, his voice very low and gentle. Im sorry it worked out this way, he rid. Of course, I understand how you feel. I promise you that things will be made as comfortable as possible for you while youre here. My brothers are in Honolulu, and theres no one youll have to talk to here. Karen Watersons anger died out. This man could put her into white blazes of temper, but, curiously, she did not hate him when the anger was gone. Her tremendous curiosity about Alakoa came on her again, as strongly as if the heart of the island itself were pulling upon every part of her. She glanced at Tonga Dick, who, as usual, was not looking at her; and, after a moment more, silently went down the ladder into the shore-boa- t.
