They would certainly look on me as an ass of the first water if I did not of that I was sure. But again, I must not leave it in their power to say that "Jim Sherry had bolted from Tarawa," and had not acted squarely with them. Niâbon, I knew, could both read and write English fairly, so of course could Mrs. Krause.

There was a poor fellow there, Hairy Willard, who was dying of poison given him by some chief, and I remember quite well his wife, who was a Tahitian, telling me that if the witch woman of Danger Island was near she would quickly render the poison innocuous." Mrs. Krause's dark eyes lit up with undoubted pleasure "I must tell her that " "Is she living on Tarawa, then?"

"I shall tell thee at some other time," she replied in the Tarawa dialect, and then pointing to the figure of her companion she said she was sure a smoke would do him good. I gave her a new clay pipe, which she filled, lit, and placed in Tematau's mouth. He drew at it with such a deep sigh of satisfaction that the woman's stern features relaxed into a smile.

Krause is on Tarawa," she replied quickly, "and he has chartered Mr. The latter part of her remark was quite true, and Tully knew it. "That is so, the Wandrahm. She's been lying there nigh on four months. And so you goin' ter Samoa, eh? Wal, I wish I was goin' there myself; but I've got a rosy berth here I'm boss of King Apinoka's fleet of trading boats, an' live like a fightin' cock."

The weapons had been sold long since to Tarawa, Apaiang, and Pleasant Island; places unheard of by the general reader, where obscure inhabitants paid for these instruments of death in money or in labour, misused them as it was known they would be misused, and had been disarmed by force.

We certainly could make the passage at the north end of Tarawa near the Island of the Bloody Eye and run into the lagoon, where we should be in smooth water; but we did not want to go back to Tarawa, under any circumstances my own pride, quite apart from my companions' feelings, would not let me entertain that idea for an instant.

The story was told to her by old Kaibuka, who himself had participated in the massacre, which had been planned and executed under the direct supervision of his father, his uncle, and himself. And it was not the only such affair in which he had been concerned not on Tarawa alone, but on the neighbouring lagoon of Maiana.
