The man bowed. "Oui, mademoi
selle," lie returned.
"Where la he now?" she queried
cautiously.
"Where he said he would wait —by
the postern garden gate," returned the
bearer.
Disarmed, she followed this man
Into the shadows.
In another Instant she had reached
a carriage and an instant later some
thing descended over her head, smoth
erlng her cries—something bound hei
arms to her side. But the smugglei
had been right. Neal was there, bound
and speechless—helpless on the bot
torn of the carriage.
An instant later the vehicle rattled
sharply off into the night.
CHAPTER XXVIII.
The Sponge Diver.
Annette opened wide her eyes. She
uttered an exclamation of delight ae
Bhe saw Neal Hardin.
"Well, we're here," she said.
"I should think we were," said Neal
He looked about him. Annette wa»
bound firmly to the only chair in the
place and ho was tied quite as firmly
to a stanchion in another corner. The
place was a rude hut.
"I see," said Neal, "that we're not
alone."
"Obviously not," returned Annette
On the floor between them lay the
brute resting but wide eyed with the
lash of a whip lying across his shoul
ders. Ponto, the Mexican, watched
red eyed and gloating.
Something happened in a corner. A
portion of the floor rose from the
ground and two men struggled up
from a passageway. One of them waf
Hernandez; the other was the smug
gler of Martinique. Hernandez nod
ded to Neal and to Annette. He took
from his pocket a tattered parchment
map which he had pasted well to
gether.
"It is the map of the lost Isle o)
Cinnabar," he said in suave accents l
"and I hav/s other evidence besides.'
He glanced uncertainly toward the
brute. "An Identifying locket," he
went on, "and other things."
"What do you expect to do with
them?" said Annette belligerently
£lou are not Annette Ilington."
▼ Hernandez smiled—smiled a bit toe
grimly. "Perhaps," he said, "I can
find some Annette Ilington who will
do my bidding. At any rate there will
hereafter be no Annette Ilington who
will try to thwart me."
Neal started. "What do you mean?"
he said.
"I mean/' returned Hernandez, with
a gesture toward the smuggler of Mar
tinique, "that in all parts of the world
I am able to find people who do my
bidding. This gentleman can do it
well. I may as well tell you, children,
that you have perhaps an hour to live,
perhaps less."
The brute looked up, his eyes
glassy, strange. He rubbed a red spot
on his arm—the mark left by Hernan
dez' hypodermic needle.
"You are right, Ponto," said Hernan
dez, "It was the only way to drug him.
Lend me your whip."
He seized the whip and struck the
brute heavily across the shoulders.
The brute sprang to his feet, growling
in his throat, but he fell back before
Hernandez.
Ponto untied a single knot —the
knot that bound Neal to a stanchion.
Then at another word the brute
Beized Neal, struggling, in his arms,
and with him descended through the
passageway.
Annette viewed this proceeding
with alarm. She struggled fiercely.
Five minutes later the brute re
turned and once more under the sting
ing lash of the whip seized Annette
and bor& her below. Hernandez and
his two companions followed them
down.
"Ah," said the smuggler to Neal and
Annette, "this house has all appoint
ments. This is the swimming pool,
my friends. You can swim here for
one hour—or less. This is in truth
a cavern of death. I hate to do it,"
he added Just before he disappeared,
"but needs must when the devil
drives."
There was a click as the stone trap
dropped into plaoe.
"This is a pretty pickle," exclaimed
Neal to Annette.
They were lying on opposite sides
of that black pool.
"If you can crawl," said Neal, "crawl
for your life."
Annette understood. Little by little
Neal worked himself along his side of
the ledge and Annette along hers,
each gradually approaching the other
around the circle. Finally their heads
Pouched.
"Careful," said Neal; "close to the
wall. Now let me have your hands.
Let mo unbind you first."
On the surface of the earth above
Hernandez and his companions loaded
their cases into a cart and drove far
across the wilderness into a ravine.
"Here," said the man of Martinique,
lifting up the cover of a metal box
set in the rock, "here is the switch of

which I spoke. One turn of the wrist—
pouf—then oblivion."
"I gave them an hour," said Hernan
dez grimly, "and I keep my word. Let
us drink."
On the shore below the cliff at the
foot of the forbidding Razor Back a
sponge diver disported himself in the
water beside his boat, cutting and
tearing sponges from their nativ«
'home of rock and coral for a living
■Then suddenly he forgot the business
of collecting sponges.
He rose again, empty handed this
time, and dived again, peering at some'
thing strange and new. Then with
downward-slanting strokes he sud
denly disappeared. He came up in an
j jinstant in almost total darkness, then
| ibobbing on the surface he rubbed hi&
j eyes, jabbering excitedly.
"Hey there," cried a voice, "and who
are you?"
The sponge diver jabbered some
more. Well might he jabber. It was
a strange Bight that confronted him
Two young people were seated almost
] in darkness on the edge of a black
pool.
"How did you get here?" queried
Neal.
The man for all his jabbering was
polyglot. He knew pidgin English and
Neal knew how to talk it, so they got
along admirably together. Neal told
him his story. The man climbed ujj
; upon the ledge and listened eagerly.
Suddenly he grew excited. It was evi
dent that he knew the reputation of
this place.
"You come with me—come right
away," he said.
Neal set the fast-waning lantern by
Annette's side. "One moment, dear,' 1
he said to Annette, "and I will be back
If what he says is true —"
In another instant with his hand
on the shoulder of the sponge diver,
Neal was swimming down, down
toward the outer opening. As he saw
the light filtering in from underneath
he gave a gasp that almost choked
him.
In another Instant he had returned
for Annette, and with her at his side
the two swam in the direction that the
I diver had taken.
The sponge diver, still gesticulating
excitedly, hauled them raptdly into his
small boat.
"Mo row, you row—like the devil,"
ho exclaimed.
Neal rowed like the devil, and the
flat-bottomed boat skimmed over the
water like mad. Suddenly Annette in
the bow extended her right arm.
"Look, look, Neal," she exclaimed,
"for God's sake, look."
Neal heard first, then he looked, and
as he looked the whole face of that
huge cliff behind them thrust itself
Into the air and with a mighty roar
dropped into the sea.
"It's Mount Pelee," cried Annette,
covering her face with her hands.
Neal shook his head. "That isn't
i Pelee," he returned grimly, it's dyna-
I mite —if I know anything of dyna
mite."

Identification.
Senorita Inez Castro —known to her
Immediate audience by the pseudonym
of Irene Courtier —drew back in alarm
; and affright.
"But, charming friend Annette," she
cried, "you have been snatched liter
ally from the Jaws of death." She
wrung her hands in despair. She
turned to Neal and laid her hand upon
his arm. "What are we to do?" she
cried. "We are but a handful of
women—championed by our solitary
sailor boy. We are no match for these
adventurers. Wh*- -~t pilve it up?"
