CHAPTER XXVII—BEHIND THE CURTAIN OF VINES 

An hour went by and during that time Dave drew Phil to one side and related the particulars concerning the doings of Merwell and Jasniff, according to the story told by the former of the two evil-disposed youths. 

“I think Link feels pretty sore,” he continued. “So there won’t be any use in rubbing it in.” 

“What do you intend to do with him, Dave?” 

“I don’t know yet. We’ll talk it over later on. The thing to do now is to locate Jasniff and get the rest of the jewels. Don’t forget that he has the finest of the diamonds. That is one thing that made Link sore—Jasniff taking the lion’s share.” 

“Well, that was the way Jasniff always did, even at school. Now you’ve got back I’m willing to start the search for him any time you say,” continued the shipowner’s son. 

“We’ll wait a while and see if Roger and Captain Sanders return,” answered our hero. 

He was glad to rest, and threw himself on a bed of moss the sailors had collected. Merwell sat against a tree, tired out, but too much worried to sleep. Evidently he was trying to decide on what to do next and wondering how he was to get out of the awful situation in which he found himself. 

Presently a shout was heard, and Roger burst into view, followed an instant later by Billy Dill. 

“Hello, Dave!” cried the senator’s son. “Got back, have you?” And then he stared at Merwell. “Oh, are you here, too?”  QUESTIONS:
