SYNOPSIS Enroute from Yokohama to San Francisco, Sandy Crewe, young scientist who recently amassed a fortune from the discovery of a silk stocking preserver, meets elderly Colonel Carlton, wealthy eccentric. The Colonel plans to retire to his island in the Bahamas. / Due to stress of business, Sandy declines the Colonel's invitation to I visit him, and thereby offends the Fold man. Just before the steamer lands, Sandy falls in love with a picture of the Colonel's niece and vainly asks the Colonel to re-invite him. Undaunted by the refusal, Bandy arrives at the Bahamas two months later for what he terms "a personal mission of apology for an error in etiquette,” but in reality to meet Carlton’s lovely niece, Isobel. While the Colonel, Isobel and Sandy are talking a strange vessel looms on the horizon. Fearing it may be someone out of his adventurous past seeking revenge, the Colonel sends for a machine gun. CHAPTER V The Bahaman servant who bore the classic Colonial name of Sambo stalked out with the latest model of police machine gun that he laid on the table beside his master. ” Isobel glanced at it and sa&l: “Get the Springfield Sporter and a 30-40, Sambo.” She looked at Sandy. "We might as well be in on this.” “Quite so, if that’s the sort of wooden horse the Colonel seems to think.” The big lighter grounded. Down on the beach the swarm of blacks were looking back to the house as if for orders. Receiving none they now obeyed those of what appeared to be the captain of the lighter, a lanky Conch blower in a ten cent store straw hat, and blue jean overall*. Splashing out waist deep they carried two lines ashore, led them out at a wide angle and made fast the ends to some outcrops of eoral rock that jutted through the sand. The tug boat maintained the barge in its position, engines turning slowly. Then the eraft secured with its shelving scow bow against the beach, another order was given. The crowd tailed on to the lanyards of an enormous gangway on the fore deck. It was a ponderous affair with truss-frame railing some eight or ten feet wide like the gangplank of a passenger steamer but wider and heavier and shorter. The end of this they dragged out on to the beach. The inboard end was secured by a few turns round heavy i bitts. “My word,” Sandy breathed, I “that looks like landing field pieces, I Colonel.” Throughout this operation, the old campaigner had not budged. His white bushy eyebrows merely rolled down a little to draw a horizontal line, a sort of pent-house beneath which his bright blue eyes peered out intently. Glancing at Isobel, Sandy observed her own eyes to be no less intent. They wer-s of a very striking tint, a light grayish purple if such a color there be, at any rate a gray that has some violet but no green. Perhaps mauve gray would describe them better though at this moment an intense curiosity made them darker, from pupil dilatation. The square house on the barge had a: its forward end two large doors like a garage. These now swung open, but with the sun a little beyond the craft the shadow

Then the Colonel gave * something between a gurgle and a snort as out into the sunshine there , projected what at first sight ap- ( peared to be a huge serpent. Followed a vast bulk, two long white ; gleaming tusks on which were gold ! bands with pendant gilded chains, ' big waving fans of ears, the head, . and then the shoulders of a huge elephant in full caparison of state. A scarlet triangle of satin went over the head fringed with gold and pointed with a long tassel that hung ' at the root of the trunk. At sight of this prodigy a yell of tenor burst from the helpers on 1 the beach who surged with a retrograde motion that carried them a number of yards back. Then held by amazement and an overwhelming curiosity they paused, pointing.

Then without the slightest hesitation though gingerly the elephant moved forward, ears slowly fanning, sinuous trunk describing spirals, reached the head of the gangway, tested it first with trunk, then with one forefoot and as if assured of its solidity and impelled by the desire to be quit of that unstable means of transport it came ponderously down, moved out on to the hard sand the little keeper under one tusk and holding by a gilded chain. A sort of wail of astonishment not unmixed with rapture, admiration, exaltation at the splendid spectacle went up from the black gang higher up the beach. In the shouting sunlight the great beast glowed out

magnificently in its blazing panoply. Then, as its sensitive trunk scented out the perfumed aroma of tropic shrubs and flowers distilled in sunshine, the huge bulk appeared to quiver, to dilate in a sort of ecstasy. Perhaps early memories were awakened, hereditary cravings aroused. The elephant paused, raised its trunk, its vast head and drew upward one forefoot Then a salvo of trumpetings burst out. They were like paeons of pure delight. They needed no interpretation. Even to the blacks who had never so much as heard of elephants it must have been apparent that this vast monster was rejoicing, bellowing forth its jubilate from an overflowing heart.

Th* great • beast poured out thanksgiving, and a sort of mirth. But the gladsome ■ laughter of an elephant is a f»erful ' thing to uninitiated ears. It was ' too much for ths black spectators. 1 They broke and scattered like flakes ! of soot in a sudden blast. The ! men howled, women screeched and pickaninnies shrilled. The crew of ! the tugboat roared with laughter, j rocking over the bulwarks, and out 1 aboard Sandy’s yacht the crew yelled with passionate delight.
