Dave and Dan have an unpleasant experience. Old “Burnt-face” scores. The green jade necklace. The young naval officers meet a plausible stranger. The snub that went home.
[Chapter II—Who Robbed the Ensigns?]
Darrin voices a suspicion. Sighting a strange craft. Perhaps a tragedy. A bullet from the quarterdeck. What was found in the canoe. A hideous sight. The police are notified. A prophecy come true.
[Chapter III—Ensigns Go A-Visiting]
“I don’t believe that I would trust him.” An accident and a rescue. The Englishman has luck. Chilled with suspicion. “We sail at seven.” Dave Darrin wonders.
[Chapter IV—The Landing Party at Nu Ping]
Yankee guns speak out. To the rescue of the imperiled mission. Dave faces the yellow mob. “Charge bayonets!” Thousands follow the detachment. Up to the governor.
[Chapter V—Sin Foo Has His Doubts]
Henshaw plays the gong. Bang! Crash! Zim! Zoum! Smash! A brave front. Dave Darrin’s happy surprise. Prisoners of the governor. Something doing on board the “Castoga.”
