"Not with that gang," said Trask. "Let 'em take you ashore, and get up the beach. Then I'll come for you with the long boat." Jarrow made some suggestion to Peth, but the mate shook his head. "He says I come aboard now, this way, or not at all," said Jarrow. "You better let me tell you how the land lays." "Nobody gets aboard here until Captain Dinshaw is brought back," said Trask.
"I'm a clam, sir, a clam," said Dinshaw, solemnly, and blinking his eyes at the sun which assailed him from the bare Luneta, he hurried down the steps and hastened away. "Poor old duffer," said Trask. "We've got to help him find his island," said Marjorie. "I'll tell you what to do. Dad wants to get up to Hong Kong because there's a man at the King Edward he can beat at billiards."
The moderate attitude was stated in a manifesto signed by their leaders, headed by the eminent Indian economist Sir Dinshaw Wacha, which stated: "The proposed scheme forms a complicated structure capable of improvement in some particulars, especially at the top, but is nevertheless a progressive measure.
I don't want to be gammin' around with swells, no ways. But if I thought ye wanted to beach me " "Oh, git that out of yer head. You've got to git the crew together and I got to see Prayerful Jones afore Dinshaw gits back. Then I'll git the old man aboard and keep his jaw close to the wind. We got to run this thing on some basis. You'll find Doc Bird cookin' in a civilian mess out Malate way.
The result is that in sanitation and medical relief the Bureaucracy is inefficient. Agricultural Development. The census of 1911 gives the agricultural population at 218.3 millions. Its frightful poverty is a matter of common knowledge; its ever-increasing load of indebtedness has been dwelt on for at least the last thirty odd years by Sir Dinshaw E. Wacha.
"I told ye I'd go," said Dinshaw, proudly, taking off his cap to Marjorie as she jumped down to the deck. "This lady knows, and she wanted to go to my island. Thank ye, ma'am! Good mornin'." "Indeed I do want to go," laughed Marjorie. "And I hope we'll find your island, too, captain." "Thank ye, ma'am.
"Very well, but I'd rather not appear in the matter as the leader, because if I did, the newspapers would find out who I am and make it appear that my company was backing Dinshaw. I haven't authority to go on this trip, and if it turned out badly, a failure would be credited against the Consolidated, and it's a very conservative company. Here's a thousand dollars.
"I I dreamed it. I was asleep out there in the long boat and heard 'em talking." "We can't very well blame Jarrow for what you dream," said Locke, relieved that there was nothing more substantial to Dinshaw's charges than a dream. "I didn't dream it," said Dinshaw, with sudden conviction. "I heard 'em talk. Jarrow said if there was gold on the island, he and Peth was to have it for themselves."
Jarrow said he'd take me, but he never did. He wants to go steal it himself. I know. I know. They can't fool me, if I am old." "Steal your island?" asked Marjorie. "Why, how could anybody steal an island?" "What's on it?" whispered Dinshaw. "Oh, ho," said Locke. "Then there's something on it, is there? Now we're interesting! Treasure, I suppose."
"I was sent to see you. I'm from Captain Dinshaw." "Don't know him," said Locke. "What's it about?" "The island," said Jarrow, still cautious. "Island! Oh, yes, the old fellow with the picture. All right, come on up." Jarrow was soon before the door of the Lockes' suite and was ushered into a room which overlooked the bay, the windows open and the awnings down.
