Nor had he any desire to come face to face with Maku. But if he betrayed his surprise, the life-saver did not notice it. "The cop is taking another look through the campus," he continued. "What does the Jap say about it?" asked Orme. "He doesn't say anything. It looks as though he couldn't speak English. The cop is going to get Asuki." "Asuki?" "A Jap student who lives in the dormitory."
The voice of Asuki replied: "He say the robber came in a bicycle not in a boat." "But I thought he didn't see the fellow coming." "He remember now." The policeman started. "How did he know what we were talking about out here?" he demanded. "He understand English, but not speak it," replied Asuki readily. To the policeman this explanation was satisfactory.
Orme unobtrusively seated himself on the edge of the little veranda. "How is he?" asked the policeman. "All right, I guess," replied the life-saver. "I looked in a few minutes ago, and he was sitting up. Hello, Asuki." "Hello, there," responded the little Japanese. "Come," said the policeman, after an unsuspicious glance at Orme, and, mounting the steps, he led his interpreter into the station.
Then the policeman spoke in an undecided voice. "If he don't know anything, I can't do anything. But we might as well get a few more facts. Something might turn up. Ask him whether he saw anybody following him when he went into the campus." Orme had been straining his ears in a vain endeavor to catch the words of Asuki. But suddenly his attention was diverted by a sound from the lake.
