CHAPTER 7
LOOKING BACK on it I have
often speculated as to just how
thiuga would have worked out if
we hadn't set out to "do" the spuis
that Itrsi nipht and Anally wound
up at Quinn's. Rut then, the thought
also occurs that a magnet draws
equally well from any angle.
We five wild asses of the wander
lust were battling with the custom
officials to clear our baggage It wa»
a struggle between Tom's French
and the official English. Then Mau
rice and Helen Beam appeared and
five minutes later the necessary red
tape had been reeled off and shortlv
we were looking over our quarters
In the Che* Bfewart. the Papeoie
Kit*, overlooking the latroon.
"It’s grand to have someone who
knows tha ropes here and can talk
the patois." I told Beam. "You
have a lot of tan you didn’t have
the last time we saw you in the
States.”
"I'M give you one ‘rope’ right now,"
he returned. "You were saying some
thing about having an old log book
with a treasure angle in It—
’That's mostly just a laugh," I
confided to him. "Anyway what
might be important Is In code, for
which we haven’t the key—although
there is a girl who seems darn keen
on getting her hands on it." I added.
"In any event. If you want to save
yourselves a lot of bother and pes
tering by the French officials around
here, don't breath a word of It
around where ANYONE can hear
It," he advised.
"The 'cocoanut radio'?" lone asked
with a grin. She had picked up the
term somewhere.
P.eam nodded.
“You have never had any appre
ciation .of speed until you, buve
Watched It work. Boat arrivals and
gosstp are the chief forms of gn
tertainment here. But. even if there
Is nothing to It. keep tight lips un
less you want your life made miser
erable by the officials.”
Papeete lay dreaming as we ad
justed our new pith helmets and set
out early that afternoon for the Cec
rie Bougainville, for which Beam had
promptly gotten us cards. The place
hud a distinctly nautical flavor. The
town being the capital of French
Oceania, with Its hundred Islands and
atola covering a square of Pacific
shout 1.200 miles each way. every
one lives by or from the sea in some
manner.
Charts, barometers, almanacs and
ihings nautical were scattered about
the club rooms. Everything paid trib
ute tc the vast ocean.
“Leisure Is the gold coin of the
tropics,” Beam told us. "Her* Is
where nmsi of the white skins spend
It. A couple of days before the boat
arrives each month, letters and mer
chandise orders are written The rest
of the time is devoted to ’oafing.”
At the bar. In the rooms and on
the porch which was within fifty feet
of the steamship quay, there was
gathered as choice an assortment
of traders, pearl shell and copra men.

liness and loveliness, beauty, savage
and tamed.
"This is like Boston," I said. “The
streets meet themselves coming back
—they wander where-so-ever they
list.”
The others laughed. Street names
smacked of I’aris, 10,000 miles away.
The mighty trade winds blow from
the east The town Is fanned by this
breeze which sweeps in from the sea.
The thermometer never goes above
84 nor below 69 degrees. The year
around average Is 77 degrees.
"This isn't so hot." Ptlly declared.
"Why these cork helmets? I haven t
worn a hat In years and years!”
“To protect your head from the
direct ultra-violet rays of the sun.”
Helen told her. "Don't forget you are
close to the equator here. You have
a 'temperate-zone skull' and sun
stroke isn't a laughing matter."
Nature did a remarkable job of
hiding the mua-mado atrocities.
Scores of varieties of shade, iruit
and flower trees, plants and shrubs,
spread their perfume and lush foli
age in a riot of tropical nature, and
mocked human attempts to smash
l*eauty.
From flimsy wooden houses hung
gorgeous draperies of giant acaciaa,
embowering them In green and
flower. Brilliant flamboyant trees
with crimson blossoms, yellow alia*
manda. great bieadfrult and the up
lifting glory of cocoanut trees. Then
the magnificent vines and creepers
and over all the langorous odor of.
the Tiare Tahiti, frangipani and hi
biscus blossoms.
Coming back from the edg* of
town, we strolled leisurely along the
Quai du Commerce, the shady street
which parallels the curving shore
of the lagoon. And so back to "Papa"
Stewart’s and dinner.
“Thank God there are no news
papers here.” Holmes said fervently
as we lounged comfortably waiting
the call to the table, “ixird. but this
Is a great place to loaf. l,et the city
slaves toll," and he made a noise
vulgarly known as "the raspberry."
"Want to see the night life on
boat night?” Beam questioned a ill
tic while after darkness had fallen.
He und Helen, who had a cottage
up the beach, had stayed to dinner
with us. His suggestion was an In
stant success.
"There is generally the choicest
aggregation of cut-throats In the
South Pacific to be found In here,"
he told us as we stopped at Toney's
on the waterfront. ”I,ook arousd,
don't talk and If anyone starts any
thing grab the women and duck
quick.” he added.
In the dim light we saw the place
was filled with sailors, half-cast men
and girls, and rough-and-ready char
acters. From a piano, suffering from
a severe case of laryngitis, came a
great racket, which sounded like the
battle of Chateau Thierry. There was
loud talk and rough jest tn several
languages.

piece orchestra was playing soUiy
and couples were luovmg u» the mu
sic on the dance Uoor. ileam nuew

table.
Suddenly Lurry stiffened.
“There she is," he announced to
the rest of us.
We watched rn the Whitney girl
circled the floor iu the arms ot a
tail, dark uiuu dressed in while, to
the strains ol a waltz.
"Know any tiling about her?" Tom
asked Beam.
Beam studied her for a moment.
“About as much us any body
around here does," he answered,
'ritia is something of a mystery, tide
is some sort of hereditary princess
of a small group of islands 400 miles
east of here. Hus a big lui foot
schooner lying at the quay. Never
doe. auy talking and tha cocoanut
radio can’t get much to go on. The
Lances, who have an estate a few
miles out, are friends, but or course
no one ever asks any questions. She
drops In here occasionally with her
schooner and every once in a while
takes the finer for th* States. She
is known here as Pauo."
"Who is the man with her?" Pllly
asked, ,
“Name’s Llgingston. Rumor has It
lie Is a cashiered English naval or
ftee-. He showed up in these' pHits
eighl or nine years ago He's a mpra
planter. I think. Has a schooner and
an island south of here. He is seen
with her quite often when she is
here.”
“I am going to get me a dance
with that gal.” Larry declared. Aa
the music started again he left the
table. Then we saw him on the flooi
with the girl.
"Can you beat that?” he ejacu
lated aa he joined us after the en
core. "Tried to make me think I’d
never met her before —"
"You didn't make any breakt
around her boy friend, did you?"
Tom asked.
"Heck, no! I’m smart. 1 don’t

lowed her lead. Out on the floor there
she wanted to know where we were
staying. I told her. and I said w#
.were going to charter a schooner and
cruise some of the outer islands,"
and laughed. "But at that,
you know It wouldn't lie a bad idea
to take a cruise of that ’lort."
We fooled with the Idea for ■
while. It was late when w-e went
back to tbe hotel.
Sometime iu the night a soft rap
ping at the door awakened me. Open
ing it I found the Whitney flrt
standing there. She held a finger to
her lips as she slipped into the room
and closed the door.
