“It all adds up. We can’t get to Hawaii fast enough now.”
“Are we leaving tonight?” Biff asked.
“About ten o’clock. Have to wait until then for supplies to be delivered.”
“Gee, is it all right if Li and I dash down to the dock and look at the boat?”
“Sure. You’ll have time. But don’t stay too long. We’ll be having dinner in an hour.”
Biff and Li started for the door.
“Hey!” Mr. Brewster called. “Don’t you think you ought to know the boat’s name? It’s the Easy Action.”
It was growing dark when Biff and Li reached the dock. There was the trim craft, painted a bright white, with a golden arrow trimming its sides. Its two masts swayed gently from side to side in the gently rolling water.
“She’s a beauty, all right,” Biff said to Li as they approached the boat. “Come on, let’s go aboard.”
Biff felt Li’s hand on his arm, restraining him.
