About the Book

Excerpt: ... woodpile somewhere, as you Yankees say. Why are you so anxious?" "Oh, if you can't see your way...." "I'll have a look-see before I make any decision. It's your eagerness that bothers me. You seem to want this chap out of Canton." The doctor hesitated, puffing his tobacco hastily. "There's a young woman." "I remember now!" interrupted McClintock. "This Enschede-the missioner. One of his converted Kanakas dropped in one day. He called Enschede the Bellower. Seems Enschede's daughter ran away and left him, and he's combing the islands in search of her. He's a hundred miles sou'-east of me."

But if he's in bed, how the devil is he going with me, supposing I decide to hire him? The mudhook comes up to-morrow night." "I can get him aboard all right. A sea voyage under sail will be the making of him." "Let's toddle over to the Victoria at once. I'll do anything in reason for you, old top; but no pig in a poke. Enschede's daughter. Things happen out this way. That's a queer yarn." "It's a queer girl." "With a face as square and flat as a bottle of gin. I know the Dutch." He sent the doctor a sly glance.
