SYNOPSIS
CHAPTER I—Karen Waterson. convinced
by her lawyer. John Colt, that she has a
claim to the island estate and fortune of
her grandfather. Garrett Waterson, arrives
in Honolulu to attempt to gain control of the
property. Here she meets Richard Wayne,
or Tonga Dick, as he is known throughout
the South Pacific. He is a member of the
Wayne family that has been in control of
her grandfather's island, Alakoa, since the
old man’s disappearance. Although Tonga
Dick knows who she is. Karen attempts to
conceal her identity from him. Dick offers
to take her sailing and she accepts.
CHAPTER II—Dick goes to the home of
his half-brothers, Ernest and Willard, for a
conference regarding their interest in Ala
koa. 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 as
sets of around three million dollars. The
Waynes are worried that Karen may have
a good clcim to the island.
CHAPTER III—Next day as Dick takes
Karen sailing she learns that he knows who
she is and that he is taking her to Alakoa.
She wants to go back to Honolulu but he
refuses to take her.
CHAPTER IV—Although she is thrilled
by the sight of the deep water Island. Ala
koa. Karen is afraid of what awaits her
here. Dick finds that his uncle, James
Wayne, is very ill. When Dick sees him,
James Wayne is upset over the pending
suit for the island and tells Dick he will
under no circumstances come to a settle
ment
CHAPTER V—Dick tries to get Karen to
reach a compromise for settling the status
of Alakoa. but she will have none of it and
tells him to discuss the matter with John
Colt, her lawyer. She also tells him that
a native house-girl, Lllua, is romantically
interested in him. He laughs this off.
CHAPTER VI—That night during a storm,
James Wayne is found dead at his desk.
Dick realizes that he has died from over
work but believes some sort of shock must
have been the immediate cause. He be
lieves Karen was with his uncle at the time
of his death. Dick now decides to take
Karen back to Honolulu.
CHAPTER VH—On the way back Dick
tells Karen he loves her. They discuss
plans for disposing of her claim to the island
and she tells him that the matter must be
settled with Colt. They quarrel over this
and on reaching Honolulu part on unfriendly
terms, each decided to make a fight for
Alakoa. While Karen is telling John Colt
about her experiences with Tonga Dick she
discovers that Colt too is in love with her.
CHAPTER VIIT—Dick Wayne attempts a
compromise with John Colt and when his
offer is refused he warns the lawyer that
his case is washed up and the end of Karen’s
Pacific adventure is in sight. Dick then
goes to Alakoa and examines the books of
the island property and learns that over a
long period of time James Wayne had been
paying out large sums of money for "old
debts.” He calls a conference with his
brothers.
CHAPTER IX —Next morning, Dick's
brothers get a terrific shock when they learn
that old Garrett Waterson is not dead but
is now on his way to Alakoa. Dick explains
that the old man left the island over 20
years before because he believed he was
about to lose all his property. Being of
violent temperament he wanted to get away
from the past so he just dropped from sight.
In the meantime Dick has been working
for him. John Colt and Karen arrive at
Alakoa that evening.
CHAPTER X—Dick goes to Karen and
tells her that she is not an heiress after
all that her grandfather is very much alive
and will very shortly arrive at Alakoa. He
tells that he does not know what the old
man will decide to do. He may see that
Karen gets the island or he may allow the
Waynes to keep it. Dick again tells her
of his love for her and asks her to go away
with him. She decides to go and they put
out to sea in his boat. They discover that
the native house-girl Lilua has stowed away
in Dick’s cabin.
CHAPTER XI—Dick and Karen quarrel
and she accuses him of having made love
to the native girl. He denies this, and
angered, orders the ship to return to Ala
koa. Meanwhile, Hokano, Lilua's native
lover, who came aboard ship without Dick’s
knowledge, attempts to kill his sweetheart
and end his own life. He fails and is res
cued after he has jumped overboard.
CHAPTER XII—On the way back to Ala
koa, Dick and Karen continue their quarrel
and part there with each very angered at
the other. Garrett Waterson’s boat arrives
and it is learned that the old man is sick.
John Colt’s pilot tells Dick that the lawyer
and Karen are anxious to leave Alakoa.
CHAPTER XIII—Dick takes the island
doctor out to Garrett Waterson’s boat and
they find the old man very ill with a fever.
Waterson wants to learn all he can from
Dick about his granddaughter and says he
would give a great deal to have just one
look at her. Dick promises he will bring
Karen to him. As he is about to leave the
ship to get her he sees that Colt's ship with
Karen aboard has started for Honolulu.
CHAPTER XIV—Dick gathers a crew of
natives and starts out to overtake the ship
and bring Karen back to grandfather. He
succeeds in forcing the ship’s captain to
put back to Alakoa.
CHAPTER XV—Garrett Waterson is near
death when Karen and Dick get back to
Alakoa. but Karen convinces the old man
■he has come to care for him and he per
mits her to take charge of his boat. She
nurses him back to health. John Colt comes
to the old man and offers him a proposi
tion that would wrest control of the island
from the Waynes. Waterson refuses and
orders Colt to leave. He does so but
Karen stays at Alakoa. Garrett Waterson
asks Dick to sail to Nuku Hiva, where he
has other property, to handle some busi
ness transactions.
Now go on with the story.
Dick’s curiosity was sufficiently
aroused by this to cause him to row
all the way over to the Sarah—a dis
tance of some two hundred yards—
for a visit with the convalescent old
man. He tried to conceal from him
self his reason for wishing to talk to
Waterson, but he could not. He was
aware of a weak but persistent hope
that something had happened to
cause John Colt and Karen Water
son to break up and he wanted to
find out from Garrett Waterson if
this might be the case.
Karen Waterson was taking an
hour ashore, so that her grandfather
was alone. He was propped up on
clean pillows, smoking a cigar which
he had probably taken this oppor
tunity to steal and though he looked
feeble, and somehow chastened, he
was surprisingly himself.
“Where the hell have you been?”
he demanded gustily, in what was
evidently meant to be a roar.
“You’ve got to get me out of this!”
That Garrett Waterson was nota
bly tamed in spirit needed no more
proof than his concession that he
needed any help from anybody but
other evidence was not lacking.
Fuch a change had taken place in
Garrett Waterson’s quarters'as Dick
would not have believed. All the
great litter of charts and miscel
laneous duffie had disappeared even
the bulkheads, which had been a
scaling and ancient green, had been
scraped and painted white.
“We’ve got to go to Nuku Hiva,"
Garrett Waterson announced, “and
we’ve got to go now. This fool Jap
doctor and this girl of mine don’t
understand.”
The old man, it now appeared, had
worked himself into a state of mind.
Dick knew enough about Garrett
Waterson’s scattered and loose-knit
affairs to know why he thought he
had to go to Nuku Hiva. Once the
old man had purchased an option
on a site for a wharf, or something
of the sort. Then he had forgotten
about it, only to remember it sud
denly and inauspiciously just as the
option was about to run out. Dick
did not believe that either Water
son or Nuku Hiva needed a wharf,
but it was no use arguing, he sup
posed.
“If we don’t take that thing up
by the first of the month,” Waterson
declared, “that English outfit will
get in there, and the opportunity of
a lifetime will go up in smoke—just
like that!” He blew a a blast of
smoke at Dick to illustrate what was
going to happen to the opportunity
of‘a lifetime, and it made him
cough, so that he spilled cigar ashes
on the highly scrubbed deck.
“All right, all right,” Dick said.
“I’ll go to Nuku Hiva.”
“Have to go myself,” Waterson
insisted.
“You’ll stay here,” Dick said,
“or I’ll have nothing to do with the
business at all. Then where will
you be?”
The old man finally had to be satis
fied with that. Not until the long
digression about lifetime opportuni
ties in Nuku Hiva was settled, was
Dick able to raise the question
which had really brought him here.
He put out a tentative feeler. “I
see John Colt has gone back.”
“So I hear.”
“It’s none of my business,” Dick
said, “but I’d kind of like to know
why he should be rushing back to
Honolulu while Karen is still here.”
“I sent him back,” Garrett Wa
terson said complacently.
“You sent him back?”
“He was over here with some
scoundrelly proposition, whereby I
was supposed to throw in with him,
and we were supposed to get the
island of Alakoa away from the
Waynes. He made me kind of mad.
Seemed that all I had to do was
offer proof that I’m out of my mind
—that gets us the islands back. I
“She’s something pretty special,
Dick—sweet, and gentle, and loyal
and—”
told him to get to hell out. I told
him if he wasn’t out of the bay
in twelve hours I was going to have
my crew grab him and keel-haul
him. I guess he must have taken
me literal.”
“But Karen is going to stay with
you?”
“I’d like her to but she says not.
I believe she’ll be following Colt to
Honolulu directly.”
“Following Colt?”
“She’s kind of a little poker face,”
Garrett Waterson complained. “It’s
past me to make out what she’s go
ing to do. But if you want my pri
vate personal opinion, I think she’s
going to marry the guy.”
Dick managed to say, “How are
you going to like that?”
“He isn’t just what I would have
picked. I certainly wouldn’t want
to marry him myself.”
With an effort Dick rallied. “I
don’t see why not,” he said. “I
think you’d make a lovely bride.”
“I suppose he’ll do well enough by
her,” Waterson said gloomily. “It’s
his stamp of crocodile that general
ly gets ahead. Of course, his infer
nal impudence made me kind of
mad but I was kind of tickled at
him, after I thought it over. You
have to kind of admire a man with
as much brass as that.”
There was a long silence, and
Dick was thinking of a lot of things
of which he would not have wished
to speak.
“That girl is a wonderful girl,”
Waterson said. “So long as I ever
have one dime that will do the work
of a nickel, that girl is never going
to be in want. She’s something pret
ty special, Dick—sweet, and gentle,
and loyal, and—”
Dick broke it up. “When do I
sail for Nuku Hiva?”
“What’s the matter with tomor
row?”
“The Holokai’s full of oil. I guess
tomorrow will be all right.”
CHAPTER XVI
With his crew rounded up and
fresh water aboard the Holokai, Dick
Wayne went ashore to phone Hono
lulu by wireless. He did not sup
pose that his brothers would want
h'rr, to, mix in any more than they
could help but if seemed only de
cent to ask what the situation was,
before he left Alakoa on a voyage
that would keep him away for a
matter of weeks. James Wayne’s
estate, embracing all of Alakoa, was
hanging fire, and he supposed he
owed it to them to tell them where
he was going.
He sat at James Wayne’s old desk,
up above in the house that Garrett
Waterson himself had built, and fid
dled with the phone for the better
part of half an hour before he got a
connection which would do. It was
Charles Wong whom he reached at
last.
Charles Wong, it turned out, was
dithering in a state of mental con
fusion and disorder.
“I—I’ve been trying to reach you
for two days,” Wong chattered. “I
was about to come to Alakoa. Ev
erything is terribly upset—it’s abso
lutely necessary that you come
here.”
“What’s the matter now?”
“Your brothers are absolutely un
able to reconcile themselves to the
will. If they cannot reach an agree
ment with you, I am almost cer
tain that they will try’ to break it.
You had better come here and talk
to them as soon as possible. The
disturbance is unimaginable, but Al
akoa is going to suffer if—”
“What was the matter with the
will?”
“Oh nothing, sir, nothing! But nat
urally your brothers are very much
surprised. Certainly you must have
anticipated that they would—”
“I don’t even know what was in
the will,” Tonga Dick told him.
“Why—why—you haven’t heard?”
“I haven’t talked to Honolulu since
my brothers left here.”
A considerable hesitation, decorat
ed with unrecognizable spluttering
noises, represented Charles Wong’s
dumbfoundment. “The will gives
you the controlling interest in Ala
koa,” Wong finally managed to get
out.
“Who—me?” Dick said stupidly.
“Yes, sir. There are certain spe
cial provisions that seem intended to
give your brothers a practically
equal income but you are given a
fifty-one per cent interest, and abso
lute management of everything.”
“I’m supposed to run the whole
cockeyed thing?”
“You control it, yes, sir. The cat
tle production, and the plantations,
and the mills—eveiything.”
There was much more to it, and
a good deal of it Dick was unable
to understand from Charles Wong’s
disorganized explanations. Dick sup
posed that he could not expect to un
derstand James Wayne’s dispensa
tions in detail until he had had a
thorough consultation with a whole
board of attorneys. But the main in
tent was clear. James Wayne had
put Tonga Dick in control of Alakoa.
“But I think your brothers are go
ing to try to break the will,” Charles
Wong finished.
“They aren’t going to break any
thing,” Dick answered.
“No, sir—my personal belief is
that it really cannot be done.”
After that it was still necessary
for Tonga Dick to explain to Charles
Wong that he could not come to
Honolulu yet—that he was going to
Nuku Hiva. A good deal of expostu
lation attended that, but Wong could
not persuade Tonga Dick to change
his mind.
“This thing will be in probate a
couple of years yet,” Dick conclud
ed. “Two or three weeks isn’t go
ing. tQ make any difference^*
