Bandrist's blue eyes flashed. "I can tend to that," he exclaimed. "You do what you're told and quit meddling with my business." "It's my business too," Mascola retorted doggedly. "Gonzolez is becoming angry at the delay. He will wait no longer." Bandrist walked slowly to the window and stared out into the fog. When he faced about an automatic shone dully in his hand.
But before he had hardly opened his mouth, a well-dressed man came from somewhere and threw him half across the room. And who do you think it was?" Again Gregory shook his head. "Bandrist." As Gregory voiced his surprise, the girl went on: "You wouldn't have known him. He was all dolled-up and looked like a different man.
Mascola was the one man who stood between him and his cherished dreams. If Rock and Bandrist were behind Mascola, as he imagined, would it not be pursuing a "cart before horse" policy to continue his expensive militant opposition to the Italian? Why not fathom the motive which lay behind Mascola's action?
Gregory wore the skin from his knuckles in loosening the stud-bolts while Howard instructed him from the doorway how to take off the carburetor and rip up the feed-line. As they worked the girl made a rapid survey of the parts she desired to salvage. "Some more of your friends?" Bandrist pointed seaward where a dory was rounding the point and heading shoreward.
The body of Mascola was still in the custody of the local undertaker and Bandrist had been removed to a hospital. But of the men themselves little was said. An era of universal friendliness prevailed throughout the village. At the Lang cottage Aunt Mary was striving vainly to assemble her guests about the table for the evening meal. "The biscuits will be ruined," she pleaded. "Leave the talk go.
Bandrist's island. He tell me I fish here. He say you go. You stay, you like trouble. My men like fight any time." "Go to it, then," Gregory answered quietly. "And when you see your friend Bandrist, tell him for me that he hasn't bought Diablo. He's only leasing the land. If he has any more claim to the water than we have, he'll have to show us."
It was some time before the truth leaked out through the lips of a newspaperman who was aboard the Bennington. Even then there were some who doubted. Mascola killed by Bandrist? Impossible. Bill Lang and Richard Gregory murdered at El Diablo and Mexican Joe who had been with them, found on the island? Silvanus Rock a smuggler? Why the very thought was absurd.
