Captain Hull Gregson Harry T. Morey. Napuka Joe, his servant John George. And This is How the Story Runs: lEjjg w jdjf Where the pavement ends, there romance begins. There _is _jß___________J_y no pavement in Wailoa, but there is much romance, yet Miss a\\\m\\m\mmWommmtkr \ Matilda, the daughter of the missionary, goes wanting. Then Motauri comes into her life to make real the visions she dreamed R under the soft moon of the Southern Seas. There is only one white man available on the island who can be looked upon. He is Gregson,' the unscrupulous trader, a seller of bad rum who despised the missionary and his work. Motauri is the very incarnation of love and romance, and she realises that her dream has come true. Motauri is one of the Islanders, but he is the hereditary chief of a nearby island, and does not waste his time hanging round Gregson's place and buying stale rum. For this indepenYdence he is cordially hated by Gregson. The trader would like Miss Matilda to pay a little more attention to him, and so he decides to give up his selling of rum and evil ways so that he can please her father and have a chance for her hand. He jealously watches her, and notes that she meets Motauri clandestinely one evening. They have met in the porch of the tiny chapel, now dark because the lantern has been broken. As a gift of proof of his wanting to be the friend of the B missionary he offers to present to the church a new brass lantern. When Matilda is told by Gregson of his offer, she suspects that he might know, and the fear of his telling her father is great. After the trader's departure Pastor Spener speaks happily of the change in Gregson. He is exceedingly anxious that his daughter should look at Gregson favourably, but she flinches as he tells her that the trader has asked for her hand. Later in the day Motauri comes to her in the shadow of the passion vines, and she tells him of the fear of Gregson and the O plans of her father. Motauri pleads that she go away with him at once to the island where he is chief. He paints a beautiful picture of the happy life they will enjoy, where everything will be for her and all men will do her bidding. Only happiness can be obtained by the sacrifice of her father's care for that of Motauri. Overcome by the nearness of the realisation of her dream she consents. Fearing that they will be seen if they attempt to go through the village they decide to make their way Oto the coast down the perilous trail over the falls. THERE IS MUCH MORE !
