This does not mean, however, that the encounter of the police patrol with the pirated steamer was entirely without reward. When the Prominent was steaming into Mirs Bay the pirates had already assembled their intended loot and had selected the compradore and five passengers for kidnapping.

Mr. Koo Lee showed a marked interest in the Baby models, but finally decided that it would be judicious not to buy a car at all. "What's a Baby in our life," he exclaimed, with a merry laugh.
