"That will be good," Larry said, "but are you sure you won't mind me leaving you?"
"I can get along all right," replied Grace. "Of
course I'd like to have you come along, for I believe you understand this matter better than I do, but I want you to find that other man and get your story."
Larry was inclined both ways, but he knew it would be better to hurry after Mah Retto, as Grace could make all the necessary inquiries of Captain Padduci.
"Until to-night, then," the young reporter said, as he hurried out of the steamship office, and Grace turned to go to the captain's hotel.
Reaching the street Larry saw, some distance ahead of him, the form of the man whose actions so puzzled him, and who had led him such a baffling chase.
"Here is where I get you," thought Larry, as he hurried on.
