The explosions were now so rapid as to make almost one continuous roar. "She's a fast one, all right," commented the life-saver. "Hear her go!" "Are there many fast boats on the lake?" "Quite a number. They run out from Chicago harbor now and then." Orme was meditating. "Exactly how long ago did this boat pass?" "Oh, an hour or more. Why?"
Orme, of course, found in it a corroboration of his guess. Maku evidently did not wish suspicion directed against the motor-boat. The policeman re-entered the station, eager to avail himself of the information which Maku was now disposed to give him. Orme turned to the life-saver. "The Jap is lying," he said. "Think so?" "Of course.
When the keen winter winds whip through the beach grasses on the dunes and throw spiteful handfuls of cutting sand and spray; when the great waves pound the beach and the crested tops are blown off into vapour, then the life-saver patrolling the beach must be most vigilant.
Then, with the skill of a veteran life-saver, the little plebe swung the heavy yearling over his back, and struck out for the bank, swept down stream by the current. Frank ran along the bank till Davis came near enough to be pulled out with his burden, and Frank dragged both the water-dripping lads to solid ground. "By gracious!
Then numbers of men and boys, who had been bathing, plunged into the waves, and followed the life-saver out to the deeper water. It was useless for Harry, Hal, or Bert to try to explain to anyone about the duck, for the action of the life-saver told a different story.
He seems ter be so plagued stuck on the life over here, he'll think I must be tew." But, though Havens had to wait for the return of the man who had gone off duty yesterday morning, still Abe had not put in an appearance when Samuel and the life-saver trudged down the trail through the woods to the bay. As he stepped into the scooter, Samuel's conscience at last began to prick him.
He must have waited some time for Maku and, at last, had pushed off to return alone. Were these Japanese acting for themselves? That did not seem possible. Then who was their employer? Orme did not puzzle long over these questions, for he had determined on a course of action. He spoke to the life-saver, who appeared to be listening to the droning conversation which continued within the station.
"By the way," said the chief life-saver, "can you swim?" "No," replied the applicant, "but I wade like blazes!" The Negro stevedores of the southern states of the American Union have been conscripted and shipped in great numbers to ports in France for unloading the incoming American steamers.
They went out to make the Men come in, and found them Bunched on the Porch listening to a Story that a Traveling Man had just brought to Town that Day. This Plan miscarried, because all the Men wanted to hear Rag Time played by Josephine, the Life-Saver. Josephine had to yield, and the Men all clustered around her to give their Moral Support.
I'll run in by the Davis Street pier." "I'll be obliged to you," Orme sighed. "I made a bad mess of it, didn't I?" "Oh, I don't know," replied the life-saver. "We got the lady." Orme started. "Yes," he said, "we got the lady and that's more important than all the rest of it." Porter grinned a noncommittal grin and devoted himself to the wheel. They had saved the girl!
