The
beach
was
lined
with
spectators
while
the
quarantine
doctor
and
the
custom-house
crew
rowed
out
to
attend
to
their
duties
.
An
hour
later
Billy
Keogh
lounged
into
the
consulate
,
clean
and
cool
in
his
linen
clothes
,
and
grinning
like
a
pleased
shark
.
"
Guess
what
?
"
he
said
to
Johnny
,
lounging
in
his
hammock
.
"
Too
hot
to
guess
,
"
said
Johnny
,
lazily
.
"
Your
shoe-store
man
's
come
,
"
said
Keogh
,
rolling
the
sweet
morsel
on
his
tongue
,
"
with
a
stock
of
goods
big
enough
to
supply
the
continent
as
far
down
as
Terra
del
Fuego
.
They
're
carting
his
cases
over
to
the
custom-house
now
.
Six
barges
full
they
brought
ashore
and
have
paddled
back
for
the
rest
.
Oh
,
ye
saints
in
glory
!
wo
n't
there
be
regalements
in
the
air
when
he
gets
onto
the
joke
and
has
an
interview
with
Mr.
Consul
?
It
'll
be
worth
nine
years
in
the
tropics
just
to
witness
that
one
joyful
moment
.
"
Keogh
loved
to
take
his
mirth
easily
.
He
selected
a
clean
place
on
the
matting
and
lay
upon
the
floor
.
The
walls
shook
with
his
enjoyment
.
Johnny
turned
half
over
and
blinked
.
"
Do
n't
tell
me
,
"
he
said
,
"
that
anybody
was
fool
enough
to
take
that
letter
seriously
.
"
"
Four-thousand-dollar
stock
of
goods
!
"
gasped
Keogh
,
in
ecstasy
.
"
Talk
about
coals
to
Newcastle
!
Why
did
n't
he
take
a
ship-load
of
palm-leaf
fans
to
Spitzbergen
while
he
was
about
it
?
Saw
the
old
codger
on
the
beach
.
You
ought
to
have
been
there
when
he
put
on
his
specs
and
squinted
at
the
five
hundred
or
so
barefooted
citizens
standing
around
.
"
"
Are
you
telling
the
truth
,
Billy
?
"
asked
the
consul
,
weakly
.
"
Am
I
?
You
ought
to
see
the
buncoed
gentleman
's
daughter
he
brought
along
.
Looks
!
She
makes
the
brick-dust
señoritas
here
look
like
tar-babies
.
