CHAPTER THIRTEEN T recounted how I had searched the sampan, found the broken wbiekey bottle on deck, discovered the lee locker dosed, and had opened it. It was a bad moment when I confessed pulling my fish spear from Delmar’s back and replacing it on the cabin top. Komako stopped eating and stared at me. “You know moro better than doing that!" “But it had my initials on IL I had to protect myself. ..Then, a* he said nothing: “It was a darnfool thing to do, I know it Becauao whoever did away with the body took my spear. And I’m pretty sure it had my bloody fingerprint* on it" Kom*ko looked very gloomy. “Now somebody got fine du* •gainst you, If body is found.” “I don’t think they want the body found—and I certainly don't! But if there should be a nitch, and it turns up. I’m slated to take the rap. They not only took that spear—they took my ignition key, too. I’m not to be allowed to leave here until they're sure ths body won’t be found." He elueked now In a thorooffhly alarmed manner. “Not you got any big clue againat them people ea ehore?’’ I told of th* love triangle I suspected, formed by Josephine, Thornton and Delmar; of Euaine’a peculiar behavior and th* doctor’* ' anxiety to get her away; of Herb’* I being hit by aomeone unknown. Kemako’s face cleared only when I spoke of Mrs. Delmar leaving the sampan in a eanoe, just before we went out and found the body gone. "Now we got something!" I warned him: “She said she waa looking for her husband and didn't •nd him on th* sampan. And later you say she sent the Hawaiian* out on a big search for him." “Maybe she just plantlag good alibi. . . . Murder is most time* because somebody hate »omebody. She hate her husband?" "Search me! I know she was jealous of him." "Rail!" Komako leaned forward eagerly. "Not what you think." Then I told him about her fury because Delmar had taken her name off the play they had eo-authered. He looked crestfallen. "That play busin*** net enough for wtfe te go killing husband." "But it could bet Yoe don't know writer*! Beside*, the sweeping up of the glaa* and swabbing everything down —that look* Ilk* the work of a woman—a good housekeeper." | was almost convincing myself. “11l bet Mr*. Delmarto house la neat aa a pin.” Komako jingled th* key* In hi* pocket "If she was looking through your paper* — she toev* thing* la ale* mesa. ... But aayhew, thato good ele*. her rowing beck from sampan." He wrote busfly in his notebook, stowed it and hi* spectacles in his pocket, reeehed for Ms lauhala hat aed thoughtfully smoothed its flne feather bend. “We got to see Mrs. Delmar first" On deck he delayed long enough to inspect th* lee locker, remarking at he pulled himself out: Take pretty strong man to lift heavy body out of bm Mr*.

He nodded cagteto. “Big surprto* to find him there. I was glad. too. He will find Mr. Delmar, sure," •everal of the ethers began to grease about having teen routed ou* in the night to beat for Delmar, and Komako said gravely: "Me.
