It turned out to be the mission-vessel with supplies, and with a young native missionary, or Bible-reader; and thus, in a few days, not only Betsy Waroonga, but Ongoloo and Wapoota, with Lippy and her mother and Orlando, were enabled to return to Sugar-loaf Island.
In the first room there is a birth, in another a death, in a third a sordid drinking- bout, and the detective and the Bible-reader cross upon the stairs.
