A crime he had committed in a fit of excitement had shattered all his confidence in himself. He felt forced to a void pretty Mary Doncaster. who boardShe was en ed the ship at Honolulu. route to visit her parents, who were missionaries on GUead Island. Mary was attracted by George "s attempts to avoid her. One day George accidentally fell overboard. Mary unhesitatingly dove Into the sea to rescue George. George is falling In love with her. When the boat approached her home on Gilead Island, they learned that Mary's parents had both died. George volunteered to take charge of the mission. Faced with the necessity of losing Mary it he left her now, George forced himself to ask her to be his wife. Mary accepted his clumsy proposal, and they left the ship to live In her former home on the Island. The scanty dress of the natives shocked George at first, but he soon became reconciled to their customs. Mary discovered that Corkran, a sailor friend of George's, had deserted shiptoto live on the island. He had come there help George and Mary 11 they Deeded him. 38 js IV Continued 5 Mary understood as the days passed that George both looked forward to the whaler's coming and dreaded it When one day Jarambo came in some excitement to call them to see a distant sail, Mary asked quickly whether it was the Venturer. Jarambo said it was not. At dark that night, the schooner was still distant, but at dawn she made in toward the roads. Mary saw that George was uneasy at the sight of this invader. They watched together, standing on the rocks above the landing place; and when the schooner approached the anchorage, Jarambo and the others prepared to launch canoes. But George called them back. "Tell them only Jarambo is to go, Mary," he directed. "Have Jarambo tell the people aboard the schooner not to land here." . Mary urged: "Canoes always go off to any ship that comes in, George, and people come ashore." We don't want sailors here on Gilead," he insisted. She knew the message would be a useless one; but she told Jarambo to deliver it. He went off alone and they saw a white man speak to him from the deck of the schooner; and commented scornfully: George "That man's half naked, like a na tive!" Then the white man yonder dropped down into the canoe, and George said in deep resentment: "He's coming. Go to the house, Mary. I'll meet him here, get rid of him." "Why, don't be silly! I'll stay and welcome him with you." He said: "No, go to the house. If he sees you, he'll want to stay." Mary was absurdly pleased. She smiled. After a while she heard them com ing near, and a strong young voice, laughing, said: "You're damned mysterious! What have you got here, a gold mine? Man, these are hospitable seas. We You make all comers welcome. ought to learn the custom of the country." She soon saw a young man in soiled white trousers, barefoot, naked to the waist, his skin bronzed by sun, fine golden hair curled tight on bis chest, eyes blue as the sky in the brown of his countenance. He wore the radiance of bounding health; and when he saw her he stopped and cried delightedly: "Oh, ho! No wonder you wanted no callers, Parson!" Then be came forward by her husband's side; and George said grudgingly: "Mrs. McAusland, this is Mr. Aulgur." The young man grasped her hand. "Fritz Aulgur," he corrected. "Your husband tried to warn me off; but now that I've seen you, you're going to have a lot of company here." CHAPTER V She said uneasily, and watching George: "Won't you come in?" She asked curiously: "Why will there be others coming?" "Pearls!" he told her. His eyes were bold. "Not but what there'd be a rush anyway if they knew you were here, Mrs. McAusland." She felt George tight with rage beside Fritz repeated. her.

She had next day a message from a question; and when Corkran, George was asleep In the afternoon she walked toward the beach, sure the sailor would be there to meet her.

He looked at her with a curi ous gentleness. "I thought he'd know better by now." She wondered why she found his understanding so full He was like her own of comfort "Well, ma'am," he said, thoughts. "anytime you need me, I'm here, standing by." She went back to the house surprisingly strengthened. Mary and George almost forgot Aulgur during the days that followed. Something more imminent and dreadful rose like a cloud to shadow their lives.

By contrast with her husband's somber garments, the golden brown on this young man's bare chest and shoulders was warm and beautiful. Against her husband's austere denial of the flesh, this Fritz Aulgur by his frank acceptance of it seemed to shine. She asked curiously: "How long have you been living so, sailing around alone? Aren't you lonesome, sometimes?" He chuckled. "Lonesome? Now, it would need a woman to think that always so sure a man must have some woman forever by him." His eyes clouded, seeming to look past her; and he shook his head. "No, the sea's company. The sea and the wind. Yes, they're company enough for a man. Too much for some men, maybe, like a heady wine. If you've seen many men in their liquor and how could you ever, to be sure? you'll know what I mean." George made a resentful sound; but Mary urged, deeply interested: "No, I haven't, of course. So what do you mean?" Fritz smiled. "Why, only that some men are better drunk than sober, and some are better sober than drunk. It's the same with the sea. and One man will be made by another spoiled.

Mary nodded thoughtfully; but George spoke, in angry interruption. "You like the taste of an ugly word, Aulgur, to keep repeating it." Fritz said amiably: "It's a good word all the same, Parson. It means what it says." Nevertheless he tempered his remarks thereafter; and as though he began to be sorry for George, he treated him from that hour with gentleness.
