Synopsis. Loitering on the Sun
Francisco water front, John Rai
ney, newspaper reporter. Is accost-'
ed by a giant blind man, who asks
Ralney to lead him. aboard the
sealing schooner Karluk. In the
cabin they And Captain Slmms and
a man named Carlsen. Blmms rec
ognizes the blind man, calling him
Jim Lund. Lund accuses Slmms of
abandoning him, blind, on an Ice
floe, and denounces him. Slmms
denies the charge, but Lund re
fuses to be pacified. He declares
his Intention of accompanying the
Karluk on Its expedition north,
where It Is going In quest of a gold
field which Lund has discovered.
Peggy, Slmms' daughter, is aboard,
and defends her father. Carlsen,
who Is a physician as well as first
mate, drugs Ralney. Awaking from
his stupor, Ralney finds himself at
sea. Carlsen Informs him he has
been kidnaped. He offers Ralney a
share of the gold, and Ralney Is
forced to declare himself satisfied.
Lund gives him a brief account of
a former expedition of the Karluk,
tells him he distrusts Carlsen, and
suggests a "partnership," Ralney
to act as Lund's "eyes."4 Rainey
Is made second mate. Captain
Slmms Is 111 and the navigation is
entirely In the hands of Carlsen.
At the latter's suggestion a shoot
ing match Is staged and the seal
hunters exhaust their ammuni
tion. Carlsen shows his skill with
the pistol and Lund does some as
tonishing . shooting "by sound."
Sandy, the ship's boy. Is swept
overboard and Is rescued by Ral
ney, who thus wins Peggy's admi
ration. The captain gets worse.
Sandy tells how Carlsen Is stirring
up trouble over the division of the
gold. Carlsen drawa a gun on Ral
ney, who overpowers him.
CHAPTER V Continued.
He talked In a low voice, but It rum
bled like the distant roar of a bull.
Ralney looked at the Indomitable jaw
that the beard could not hide, at the
great barrel of bis chest, the bough
like arms, the swelling thighs and
calves, and responded to the sugges
tion that Lund could rise In Berserker
rage and sweep aside all opposition.
"Carlsen says that the skipper's life
Is in his hands," he said. "What do
you make of that?"
"I don't know what to make of It,"
answered Lund. "If It Is, God help the
skipper! I reckon he's 1n a bad way.
Ennyhow, he's out of It for, the time
be.in', Ralney." "
"There's the girl." said Ralney. "I
don't believe she wants to marry Carl
sen.". "If she does," said Lund, "she ain't
the kind we need worry about. If
you're Interested about the gal, Ralney,
an' I take It you are, I'm tellln' you
that Carlsen'll marry her If it suits his
book. If It don't, he won't. An' If he
wins out, he'll take her without both
erln' about prayer-books an' ceremo
nies. I know his breed. ' All men are
more or less selfish an' shy on morals,
in streaks more or less wide, but that
Carlsen's just plain skunk. I'm no
saint, but, so long as I can keep wig
glln', there ain't enny hunter or sea
man goin' to harm a decent gal, That's
another way they ain't my equal,
Ralney. Savvy? Nor is Carlsen.
There ain't enough real manhood In
that Carlsen to grease a skillet. How
'about It, Ralney ; are you lined up
with me?" ,
"Just as far as I can go, Lund. I'm
with you to the limit."
Lund brought down his band with a
mighty swing and caught at Ralney's
In mid-air, gripping it till Ralney bit
his Hps to repress a cry of pain.
"You've got the guts !" cried the
giant, checking the loudness of his
voice abruptly. "I knew It. It ain't
all goln' to go as they like it. Watch
my smoke. Now, then, keep out of
Carlsen's way all you can. He may
try an' pick a row with you that'll put
you in wrong all around. Go easy an'
speak easy till land's sighted."
"What do you think Carlsen's game
Is, If it goes through?"
"He's fox enough to think up a
dozen ways. Run the schooner ashore
somewhere In the night. Wreck her.
Git 'em In the boats with the gold. In
side of a week, Deming an' one or two
others would have won It Then he'd
have the only gun he'd shoot the lot
of 'em an' say they died at sea. He
ain't got enny more warm blood than
a squid. Or he might land, and accuse
em all of piracy. What do we care
about his plans? He ain't goin' to put
'em over." . , . :
Ralney had to relieve Hansen. He
left Lund primed for resistance against
Carlsen, against all the crew, if neces
sary, resolved to save the girl, but as
Lund stayed below and the time slid,
by, his confidence oosed out of him,
and the' odds assumed their mathemat
ical proportion, i-
What could they do against so
many? But he held firm In his deter
mination to do what be -could, to go
down with the forlorn hope.
The Karluk was bowling along
northward toward landfall and the
crisis between Lund and Carlsen at
good speed. The weather had subsid
ed and the half gale now served the
schooner Instead of hindering her.
Ralney turned over the wheel to a sea
man and paced the deck. Lund's mys
terious hints were unsatisfactory. He
could not believe them without some
basis, but the giant would never go
further than vague talk of a "Joker" or
card up his sleeve. And they would
need more than ' one card, Ralney
thought.
He wondered whether they could
win over Hansen, who had' spoken for
Lund against the skipper, and had
then kept his counsel. But he dis
missed Hansen as an ally. The Scan
dinavian was too cautious, too apt to
consider such things as odds. Sandy
was useless, aside from his good-will.
He was cowed by Deming, scared of
Carlsen, too puny to do more than he
had done, give them warning.
Tamada? Would he fight for the
share of gold he expected to come to
him? Lund hod described him as neu
tral. But, if he knew that he was to
he left out of the division? At any
rate, Tamada might provide him with
a weapon, a sharp-bladed vegetable
knife if nothing better. He could not
class Tamada as an unimportant fac
tor. There was no question to Ralney
but that Tamada was, by caste, above
his position as' sealer's cook. It was
true that a Japanese considered no
means menial If they led to the proper
end.
Was that end merely to gain posses
sion of his share of the gold, or did
Tamada have some deeper, more com
plicated reason for signing on to run
the galley of the Karluk? Somehow
Ralney thought there was such a reason.
CHAPTER VI.
Tamada Talks.
It was an hour from the third jneal
of the day. Tamada was juggling the
food for three messes, and he was do
ing it with the calm precision of one
who has every detail well mapped out
and Is moving on schedule. The boy
Sandy was not there, probably en
gaged in laying the table for the hunt
ers mess, Rainey Imagined.
Tamada regarded him with eyes
that did not lack a certain luster, as
a sloeberry might hold It. but which,
beneath their hooded lids, revealed
"You Are Not Hating Me Because You
Are Callfornian and I Japanese,
He Said. , .
neither 1 Interest, nor curiosity, nor
friendliness. They belonged in his un
wrinkled face, they were altogether
neutral. Yet they seemed covertly to
suggest to Rainey that they might, on
occasion, flame with wrath or hatred,
or show the burning light of high In
telllgence. . "Tamada," he queried, "you think I
am your friend, that I would rather
help you than otherwise?"
"I think that yes?" answered the
Japanese without hesitation and with
out servility. "You are not hating me
because you are Callfornian and I
Japanese," he said. "I know that."
There was little time to spare, and
there was likelihood of Interruption,
so Ralney plunged into his subject
without introduction. : ' .
"They promised you a share of this
treasure, Tamada?" he asked.
"They promised me that yes."
"They do not Intend to give It to
you. You may have guessed this, but
I am sure of it. I, too, am promised
some of the gold, but they do not In
tend to give it to me. They will offer
Mr. Lund only a small portion of what
was originally arranged, the same
amount as the rest of them are to get.
He will refuse thnt tomorrow, when
a meeting Is to be culled. Then there
will be trouble. I shall stand with
Mr. Lund. If we win you will get
your share, whether you help us or
not. If you help us I can promise you
at least twice the amount you were
to get."
"How can I help you? If this Is to
be talked over at a meeting I shall
not be allowed to be present. I do not
think It will help you for me to Join.
I do not see how you can win. If you
can show some way out I will do what
I can. But I like to see way out."
He mollified the bald acknowledg
ment of his neutrality with a little
bow and a hlsslng-In breath. Back of
it all was a will that was Inflexible,
thought Ralney.
"If we lose, you lose," he went on
lamely. He had come on a fool's er
rand, he decided.
"I think I shall get my money," said
Tamada. The Oriental gave a swift
smile, that held no mirth, no friend
ship, rather, a sardonic appreciation
of the situation, without rancor.
"They are very foolish," he said.
"They make me cook, they eat what I
serve. They say Tamada Is very good
cook. But he is Jap, d n him. Sup
pose I put something in that food,
that they would not taste? I could
send them ail to sleep. I could kill
them. I could do It so they never
suspect, but would go to their beds
and never get up from them. It would
be very easy. Yet they trust me."
The statement was so matter-of-fact
that Ralney felt his horror gather
slowly as he stared at the Impassive
Oriental.
A thought suddenly flashed over
him. Was Tamada In league with
Carlsen? Had he mistaken his man?
Did Carlsen plan to have Tamada un
dertake a wholesale poisoning to se
cure the gold himself, providing the
drugs? Was It a friendly hint from
the Japanese?
When Ralney's watch was ended
and he was closeted with Lund in the
latter's cabin, the giant promptly
quashed all discussion of Tamada's
attitude.
"I'll put no trust In any slant-eyed,
yellow-skinned rice-eater," he , an
nounced emphatically. "They're
against us, race an' religion. They
want California, or rather, the Pacific
coast, an' they think they're goln' to
git It. They're no more akin to us
than a snaVif is a cousin to an eel.
They're not .' our breed, an' you can't
mix the two. I'll have no deal with
Tamada, beyond gettln' dope out of
him. If he helped us It 'ud be only to
further bis own ends. Not that he
can dd much unless "
He lowered his voice to a husky
whisper. ,
"There's one thing may slip In our
gold-gettln', matey," he said "the
Japanese. I doubt If this island is se'
down on American or British charts.
But I'll bet it Is on the Japanese.
They don't know of the gold, or it
wouldn't be there. Rightly, the Island
may belong to Russia, but, since the
war, Russia's In a bad way, an' enny.
thing loose from' the malnland'll be
gobbled by Japan.
"What the Japs grab they don't let
go of. If they should suspicion us of
gittln' gold off enny Island they c'ud
trump up to call theirs, If they found
gold on us at all, It 'ud be oil off with
us an' the Karluk. We'd be dumped
inside of some Jap prison an' the
schooner confiscated.
"An' if things go right with us, an'
we ever sight the smoke of a Jap gun
boat comln' our way, the first thing
I'll be apt to do will be to scrag Ta
mada or he'll blow the whole proposi
tion, whether we've got the gold
aboard or not. Even if he didn't want
to tell becoz of his own share, they'd
git It out of him what we was after.
"Ever play much at cards?" he went
on. "Play for yore last red when you
don't know where to turn for another,
an' have all the crowd thinkin' yo're
goin' broke as they watch the play?
An' then you slap down a card they've
all overlooked an' larf In the other
chap's face? V
"That's what I'm goln' to do with
Carlsen. I've got that kind of a card,
matey, an' I ain't goln' to poll my
fun by tellln, even you what It Is,
though yo're: my partner in this
gamble. It's a trump, an' Carlsen's
overlooked It."
Lund chuckled hugely as he mixed
himself some whisky and water.
Ralney refused a drink. He was nerv
ous, bothering over what the outcome
might be, and how he might handle
himself. He was not at all sure of his
own grit There was a nasty doubt as
to his own prowess and his own cour
age that kept cropping up. And that
state of mind Is not a pleasant one.
Ralney went over and over the situ
ation as a squirrel might race around
the bars of his revolving cylinder, and
came to only one conclusion, . the In
evitable one, to let the matter develop
Itself. Lund's winning card he had
bothered about until his brain was
tired. When he turned In at last, de
spite his determination to follow
Lund's admonition concerning 'sleep,
it would not come to him.
; He was awakened at half-past seven,
got a cup of coffee after dressing
warmly, and went on deck. Carlsen
and the girl had preceded him. Lund
stood at the rati with his beak of a
nese wrinkled, snuffing toward the Icy
crags that were spouting a dazzle of
white flame, set about with smaller,'
sudden flares of ruby, emerald - and
sapphire.
Tamada appeared and announced
breakfast
"YonH be coming later, Ralney?"
asked Carlsen. "You and Lund?"
He started for the companlonway
and the girl followed. As she passed
the wheel Ralney spoke to her:
"I am sorry your father Is so 111,
Miss Slmms." he hii Id.
She looked at lilm with eyes that
were filled with sadness, that seemed
liquid with tears bravely held buck.
"I am afraid he Is dying." she an
swered In a low voice. "Thank you for
your sympathy. I " "
She stopped at some slight sound
that Ralney did not catclf. But he saw
the - face of Carlsen framed In the
shadow of the companion, his mouth
open In a wolf grin, and the man's eyes
were gleaming crimson. He held up a
hand for the girl. She passed down
without taking It.
Lund came over to Ralney.
"Clear weather, they tell me?" he
said. "That's unusual. Fog off the
Aleutians three hundred an' fifty days
of the year, as a rule. Soon as we
sight land, whlch'U be Unalaska or
thereabouts, Carlsen will have the
course changed. There's a considera
ble fleet of United States revenue cut
ters at Unalaska, an' Carlsen won't
pull ennythlng until we're well west of
there. He's pretty cocky this morn
ln Wal, we'll see."
There had always been a certain
rollicking good-humor about Lund.
This morning he was grim, his face,
with Its beak of a nose and aggressive
chin beneath the flaming whiskers, and
Lund Stood at the Rail With His Beak
of a Nose Wrinkled.
his whole magnificent body gave the
Impression of resolve and repressed
action. Ralney fancied whimsically
that he could hear a dynamo purring
Inside the giant's massiveness. He
had seen him In open rage when he
had first denounced Honest Slmms,
but the serious mood was far more
impressive.
The bl; man stepped like a great
cat, his head was thrust slightly for
ward, his great hands were half open.
One forgot his blindness. Despite the
unsightly black lenses, Lund'appeared
so absolutely prepared and, In a differ
ent way, fully as confident as Carlsen.
A certain audacious assurance seemed
to ooze out of him, to permeate his
neighborhood, and a measure of it ex
tended to Ralney.
Carlsen, before he went below, had
sent a man into the fore-spreaders,
and now he shouted, cupping his hands
and sounding his news as if It had been
a call to arms: .
"Land-ho!"
"What Is it?" called Rainey back.
"High peak, sir. Dead ahead I
Clouds on it, or smoke."
He came sliding down the halyards
to the deck as Lund said: "That'll be
Makushin. Now the fun'll commence."
From below the sailors off watch
came up on deck, and the hunters, the
latter wiping their mouths, fresh from
their Interrupted breakfast, all crowd
ing forward to get a glimpse of the
land. Minutes passed before Carlsen
came on deck. He had not hurried his
meal.
"I'll take her over, Ralney," he said
briefly. ' .'
Ralney and Lund were barely seated
before the heeling of the schooner and
the scuffle of feet told of Lund's
prophesied change of course. Ralney
looked at the telltale compass above
his head.
"Heading due west," he told Lund.
"West it Is," said the giant. "More
coffee, Tamada. Fill your belly, Ralney.
Get a good meal while the eatln' is
good." '
Although It was Hansen's watch be
low, Ralney found him at the wheel
Instead of . the seaman he had left
there. Carlsen came up to him smil
ing. "Better let Hansen have the deck,
Mr. Ralney," he said. "We're going to
have a conference In the cabin at four
bells, and I'd like' you to be present."
"The shots blended. Lund
stood there erect, Uninjured. A
red blotch showed between
Carlsen's eyes."
