" "You are right, Sir," said the worthy carpenter, rising. Softly she rose to her feet. I’ll have to think of something else. James Boyle O'Higgins knew little or nothing of the South Seas, but he knew human beings, all colours. He was dressed immaculately in a suit of heavy Shantung silk. He was picked up from amongst the wreckage of a broken motor on the road to Versailles last night, and we have information that a lady was with him only a few minutes before the accident occurred.

By a miracle, he averted its path, his hold on the girl’s mouth shifting fast to grasp her wrist. What could be simpler than, with a set of inquiries relative to a South Sea tramp registered as The Tigress, to make a tour of all the marine insurance companies in HongKong?
