Harvey promised to think it over during the next few days; but the old man could see, to his regret, that the Mortlocks group of islands possessed a strong fascination for his young friend.
"And what will you do with this fellow Carr?" "Chuck him ashore at the Mortlocks," replied Chard with an oath; "we'll be there in a couple of days, and I'll kick him over the side if he turns rusty. Hillingdon doesn't like him, so we are quite safe." "When is the love-making to come off?" asked Hendry, with a fiend-like grin. "As soon as we are clear of Carr or sooner; to-night maybe.
Harvey smiled gravely as he looked into her flashing eyes, and saw her clench her hands angrily. Then he said "He is a dangerous man though, Tessa. And now listen to me. When I came on board this steamer I intended to land at the Mortlocks Islands. But I think now that I will go on to Ponapé." "Do not change your plans, Harvey, on my account. I am not afraid of this man.
I am sorry, however, that I shall not be with Tessa all the way to Ponapé I am going ashore at the Mortlocks. There is a good opening there " "Don't be in too much of a hurry, Harvey. Now, listen to me. Go on to Ponapé. Leave this employ, and come in with me again."
I'll settle him as far as she is concerned. Wait till I get a chance to talk to her a bit," and taking off his cap the supercargo passed his brawny hand through his curly hair with a smile of satisfaction. "She'll be tired of talking to him before the day is out." "Where is he going to land? Has he told you?" "Yes. He wants to be put ashore at the Mortlocks Islands.
Carr, and pick out your trade goods for the Mortlocks." Harvey leant back in his lounge. "I don't think I shall require any goods for the Mortlocks Islands, Mr. Chard." "What do you mean?" and Chard's face flushed with anger. "I mean exactly what I say," replied Carr nonchalantly. "I say that I shall not want any trade goods for the Mortlocks Islands.
