Ifviv«r. refreshed by a sound night
of sleep, an Invigorating plunge, and
breakfast, we were all at the top
Physically and mentally. Tom was
at the automobile-like wheel of the
boat.
“Turn It up a tittle. Toni." I'auo
sailed os we glided out through the
paaa U the barrier reef. Obediently
he laid his foot deeper on the throt
tle and Instantly the powerful motor,
which as we moved through the la
goon. bad been purrmg aottly. like a
contented kitten, deepened to a
heavy roar.
The sun glinted on the polisher*,
grab of any of the trim croft, catch
tn points of Qams on its gleaming
brigblwork. We moved swiftly over
the long, lazy ground swells The
day was still comparstively young,
aad the wind was cool as it w hipped
by We fait the exhilaration.
“la she open?*’ Larry shouted.
Tom shook his head.
“Give her the full-gun and see
what ali* 11 do!*
Then the roar deepened to a blast
of base thunder, the stern seemed to
setth deeper, and from either shle
pi the knife-like prow, thin sheets
of smooth water curled out like the
ab«vluge from a jack-plane.
Th« fan of the wake streamed out
behind, white and boiling, where that
iplnnUig screw churned the bnas to
i smother of foam. Thus for a time
we raced along at that 40-mtle dip.

sharpened momentarily Slowly Tom
sassd off on the |io»er and the thun

dropped at the prow and the savage
wind died again to a gentle breeze.

What staggering depths of time,

leas than the flicker of an eye-lash,

Spontaneous laughter, the product

rap around the outer shore of the
iriand. the cove was bounded by the
sofld rock walls of the peaks Around
this horseshoe of wall there seemed
to be s natural path cut ih the rock,
varying in width from Bve to a dozen
feet deep- Front the rear wail of this
set-back the Hiflfs rose sheer
Tom spaed Ip softly, touching the
reverse occasionally to check the
alow headway of the toat. We could
have landed anywhere around the
wall of the cove for the path formed
a natural dock with deep water at
just the right level to lay the deck
of the boat Hush with the path. But
lie seemed a bit reluctant. I think
we all felt It.
“You can land at the edge cf the
path near where it comes out on
the beach there a* the left.” I’auo
told him. Toro looked, spun the
w heel and maneuvered the boat over.
lairry was the first one out. He
helped the girls over. Tom backed
the boat for s hundred feec
“Throw that anchor over the stern.“
he told me. “Pay the line out as we
come In. We ll snub her bow-on. so
the varnish won’t scar on the rocks."
I took a line out over the forward
deck and made fast to a wild orange
tree, that grew close, while Tom
trimmed and taughtened the stern
line
Just as lie came ashore we heard
a squeal from I’illy. who had strolled
down the beach. "Well, wbnt do you
make of this?” she called. Tom and
I had Joined the others and wa all
started over to where she was stand
ing staring intensely at something
at her feet.
“Who says this Island's deserted,“
she demanded. “Here are the foot
prints of Itobin9on Crusoe's man
Friday—but they are perfectly black
and look, it's the funniest thing,
they look as though he hadn't
weighed an ounce—they don't dig
down Into thy sand.'*
f'uuo suddenly froze. None of us
will ever forget the way her eyes
widened with horror as she studied
tho.se curious footprints. There on
the white sand, as clearly as though
they had been drawn with India Ink
were two distinct sets of the prints
made apparently by different people
—but there was not ths slightest
Indentation In the sand.
"The tupapau of the sea." said
I’auo through white. bloodless lips.
"Tbers will be death hers again

will always be doubting Thomases
wbo must feel the wound, but now
»e know she knew what aha was
talking about. She bad lived long to
the Islands. There are sc me things
that science can't seem to explain.
“Why." said PUIy. explosively, as
only she can say It. “Can you Imagine
it! A real ghost's footprint T i am
simply amazed!" She gazed at bet
discovery as a scientist might at wit
nessing an Intricate experiment sud
denly defying all natural laws Feat
and awe were large component parti
of her mingled emotion.
“All of which proves what?" Tom
wanted to know.
VYe looked at Pauo ouestionlngly.
"The Tupapau of the 3ea' corns
ashore on an Island before death oc
curs.” she said, and her voice
sounded os though fright had sanded
her throat. “They are never wrong.
It will come sometime within three
days after the prints are seen.
Every time someone dies these foot
prints are not necessarily found, but
every time they are seen—someone
does die.
“Don't ask me to explain It —I
can't- It Is one of the things that
happens here In the Islands." She
was trembling slightly. Her face was
chalk white, and she was clinging
to Holmes' arm.
“Well, for all of that, and what
with ghosts and tupapau,' this Is
a delightful spot." Tom unnounced
with some force. He picked up a flat
stone —skipped U across the placid
water of the lagoon ana stood count*
ing the number of skips aloud.
I saw what he was trying to do.
He wanted to snap that tension.

"A little over six hundred." Pane

“Where Is the old temple," lone
