No doubt sufficient preserved food had been buried in the ruins of the storehouse to keep im alive for mumps, but he r cognised that me task of removing the large masses of rock in order to get at it was far beyond his capabilities. Em. the jam and taro patches had ajsnppcared completely, and there was not so much as a shelter from sun mid rain left. True, there was 3 water supply, but there was no mi: of water elsewhere.

Quite apart from the" primary eoiisidci-ations. however. he was conceiving a growing horror for me place. The hideous desolation of the mud-filled valley and the melancholy relics floating in the la- goon would have been sufficient in ztppill the most optimistic mind Land there had been little of op- timism in lits outlook before. Even had there been some strong in- ducement to remain here, it was ioubtful whether he could have ii-ought himself to do so now. And is it was. sheer necessity impelled ziini to a consideration of making ms way to some other part of the island without delay, and it was anly a question as to which part me should make for.

Obviously. all the low-lying val- leis could be dismissed as possi- bilities. for the inundation must half been general. This meant that his future habitation would necessarily be confined to the up- per slopes - at least for the time A and lie foresaw existence of the most primitive kind. Plantain and wild taro would form his staple food till he hay! evolved some method of trapping birds.

No other kind of wild life existed on the island as far as he knew. iind though he had seen turtles on the beaches they would not be likely to put in a further appear- ance now that the sand was cov- cited with a thick layer of mud. Even fishing was beyond his scope for the moment, for lack of means in provide himself with any kind at tackle or net. And -- worst of Ill - he could not even light a 'irc.

schooner was not due for another two months, and in the interval he would be living like a savage - a second Alexander Selkirk. but with- out even such limited resources as that unfortunate mariner had pos- sessed. The difficulties which had beset him in the last feiv days faded into inslgnificance compared with the ,problems which ittced him now, and with the prospect of this solitary life before him he could have found it in his heart that he had never left Noumea.

He rose to his feet at last. In or- der to reach any other part of the island it would be necessary to traverse the length of the valley again. for the cliffs were unseale- able at any point. The sooner he started. therefore, the better. He was only too anxious to get away from this ill-omened spot now, and even the return Journey through the water-logged valley deemed preferable to remaining there any longer.

There were few preparations to make. He abandoned the thought of burdening himself with the re- maining tlns of peaches. but with the memory of his parched condi- tion half-an-hour ago. he resolved to take a supply of water with him in one of the empty fruit this.

He looked about hesitatingly, wondering whether he ought not to spend another few minutes in hunting round on the chance -of finding something else which might prove useful to him. He could not bring himself to begin another search. however, and he was turning away towards the spring when his eye fell upon the flagstsff.

A length of rope would be a han- dy thing to have, he reflected, and he walked over to it. and began to cast off the turns of the halyards from the cleat.

He was facing seawards as he did so, and in the act of taking off the last turn preparatory to un- reefing the thin line from its pul- ley he stopped suddenly - his body stiffened into rigidity and his gaze fixed almost unbelievingly ahead of him.

For round the red cliffs of the headland to his right the lieadsails of si schooner were edging into view.

In another few seconds the en- tire vessel was in sight - and he recognized Captain Bowker's Mer- ry Maid.
