Monday climbed up a tree.
He was good at that.
Old as he was, he could shin up a palm as well as a youngster.
What did he see?
To begin with, a heap of dead bodies scattered about in every direction.
Secondly, the wreck of the P. & O. steamer, set on fire.
It was burning to the water’s edge.
Thirdly, the cowardly, dastardly pirates going in two boats to the Catamaran.
They had done their foul and deadly work.
Their next move was a mystery.
