before him, hailed one of the harbor boats.

Jack darted to where Eph was trying to sit up, and raised him to one
of the cabin seats.

"What do you think, now, of jiu-jitsu?" asked the young captain.

"I don't know," confessed Somers, sheepishly. "I didn't see any of it."

At this moment a stateroom door opened and Jacob Farnum thrust his
head out.

"Anything happening?" inquired the ship builder.

"No, sir," Jack answered. "It's all over."

Mr. Farnum came out, to ask further particulars. Williamson, as soon as
he had seen the Japanese disappear up aloft, dropped his revolver back
into his pocket, closing the engine room door.

Eph, however, had his own private idea of vengeance to execute. Up the
stairs he went, holding hard to the spiral rail, for he was still a bit
dizzy. Kamanako, having dropped into the stern of a shore boat, looked
unconcerned as he was pulled away.

"Yah!" grunted Eph, shaking his fist. "You kimono! Kimono! Kimono!"

"What does that mean when it's translated?" inquired Hal, looking
interested.
