As the chase got hotter my ebony hunter fairly groaned with lexoitement, till pres- ently he shot osoe the prom like an arrow from bow, the steersman just keeping way on as the line payed out.

Before long there was a great commotion chead, and the steoreman called to me to ** catch 'em zopo." This I succeeded in doing, at the imminent risk of shipwreck, and then appeared the bead and shoulders of the diver who had turned the old shell- back over in the water. Unce in this

By that time the other kanaka bad the dingby, with the fopa mindu fest, round the stern of the catter and the chase begun. The boy ant in the bows taking in slack whenever he could. The cutter first picked up the swinnor and then went after the boat. In ball no hour or more we were all on board and hauling in the quarry, who seemed pretty well spent,
