Geddie
's
revulsion
had
been
a
mild
one
--
no
more
than
a
swim
in
a
summer
sea
after
so
inglorious
an
object
as
a
drifting
bottle
.
And
now
he
was
himself
again
.
Upon
his
desk
,
ready
for
the
post
,
was
a
letter
to
his
government
tendering
his
resignation
as
consul
,
to
be
effective
as
soon
as
another
could
be
appointed
in
his
place
.
For
Bernard
Brannigan
,
who
never
did
things
in
a
half-way
manner
,
was
to
take
Geddie
at
once
for
a
partner
in
his
very
profitable
and
various
enterprises
;
and
Paula
was
happily
engaged
in
plans
for
refurnishing
and
decorating
the
upper
story
of
the
Brannigan
house
.
The
consul
rose
from
his
hammock
when
he
saw
the
conspicuous
stranger
in
his
door
.
"
Keep
your
seat
,
old
man
,
"
said
the
visitor
,
with
an
airy
wave
of
his
large
hand
.
"
My
name
's
Smith
;
and
I
've
come
in
a
yacht
.
You
are
the
consul
--
is
that
right
?
A
big
,
cool
guy
on
the
beach
directed
me
here
.
Thought
I
'd
pay
my
respects
to
the
flag
.
"
"
Sit
down
,
"
said
Geddie
.
"
I
've
been
admiring
your
craft
ever
since
it
came
in
sight
.
Looks
like
a
fast
sailer
.
What
's
her
tonnage
?
"
"
Search
me
!
"
said
Smith
.
"
I
do
n't
know
what
she
weighs
in
at
.
But
she
's
got
a
tidy
gait
.
The
Rambler
--
that
's
her
name
--
do
n't
take
the
dust
of
anything
afloat
.
This
is
my
first
trip
on
her
.
I
'm
taking
a
squint
along
this
coast
just
to
get
an
idea
of
the
countries
where
the
rubber
and
red
pepper
and
revolutions
come
from
.
I
had
no
idea
there
was
so
much
scenery
down
here
.
Why
,
Central
Park
ai
n't
in
it
with
this
neck
of
the
woods
.
I
'm
from
New
York
.
They
get
monkeys
,
and
cocoanuts
,
and
parrots
down
here
--
is
that
right
?
"
"
We
have
them
all
,
"
said
Geddie
.
"
I
'm
quite
sure
that
our
fauna
and
flora
would
take
a
prize
over
Central
Park
.
"
"
Maybe
they
would
,
"
admitted
Smith
,
cheerfully
.
"
I
have
n't
seen
them
yet
.
But
I
guess
you
've
got
us
skinned
on
the
animal
and
vegetation
question
.
You
do
n't
have
much
travel
here
,
do
you
?
"
"
Travel
?
"
queried
the
consul
.
"
I
suppose
you
mean
passengers
on
the
steamers
.
No
;
very
few
people
land
in
Coralio
.
An
investor
now
and
then
--
tourists
and
sight-seers
generally
go
further
down
the
coast
to
one
of
the
larger
towns
where
there
is
a
harbour
.
"
"
I
see
a
ship
out
there
loading
up
with
bananas
,
"
said
Smith
.
"
Any
passengers
come
on
her
?
"
