However, since both she and Stuart are to sail on the Nippon Maru I have no great modicum of hope." Poor Jimmy! Never was man less bent on purveying morsels of deleterious gossip. Never was man, in effect, more stupidly blundering. He wrote the day after the dance on his cruiser and he spoke of the things near his current thoughts.
In the evening we walked westward to the hills that bound the slope; and came upon a rock-cut road leading to an atalier, where "Maru" has been spalled from the stone in situ. The filons and filets cut the granite in all directions; and the fiery action of frequent trap-dykes had torn the ground-rock to tatters. The western side of El-Kutayyifah also showed modern ruins.
"Then came the turn of the Totomi Maru, we being the third ship to arrive. Well, I have not much to say about what we did, or what happened to us; it would be merely a repetition of what I have already described.
"Then we shouldn't have chased him like a brace of madmen. I wonder if Maru and Kaipi came near it?" "We might call out, perhaps they'd hear." Holman yelled the names of the two natives into the gloom above us, but his yells only started a million echoes rolling through the tremendous fissure in which we were prisoners. "They turned back," said Holman.
"He's only an overgrown child, and he has set his mind on it." "But, Verslun, I know she wouldn't do that!" protested the lover. "Barbara sent me this as " "Oh, I know," I cried, "but we want fighters now, and Maru is a pretty athletic person." "Me damn good fighter!" cried the Raretongan. "Me plentee good fighter if me get ring."
These armies are no longer mine; and, in the confidence of my personal strength, I now fall by the hand of an assassin." On his tomb was engraven an inscription, conceived in a similar spirit. "O ye, who have seen the glory of Alp Arslan exalted to the heavens, repair to Maru, and you will behold it buried in the dust."
It was now remembered that the Japanese ship had had steam up constantly for the last few days, ostensibly because they were daily expecting their cargo in lighters, from which they intended to load without delay. It was therefore pretty certain that the Kanga Maru had entered the harbor merely for the purpose of destroying the Monadnock, the only monitor in Manila.
"Your dear friend Lovaina was the first to die of the hotahota, as some call this sickness. Lovaina had a bad cough. The man who looks after the engines of the Navua went to see her, and she kissed him on the cheek. Then the good doctor of Papeete who visits the ships was called to see her. Maru, could that doctor have brought the hotahota to Lovaina? She was dead in a little while.
When Lovaina was taken to the cemetery, Vava drove her old chaise with her children in it; and then, Maru, he was seen again only by a Tahitian who had gone to bathe in the lagoon because the fever was burning him. You know how Vava always took the old horse of Lovaina at sunset to swim in front of the Annexe.
Martie had been eagerly awaiting that luncheon, when a dozen of the prominent young matrons of Monroe should learn of her engagement. She put up the telephone thoughtfully. Another delay. Another respite, when she might still say to herself over and over: "I COULD end it now. It isn't too late yet!" In her hand to-day was a brief note brought to land by the tender of the Nippon Maru.
