Von Horn cursed the chance that had snatched the girl from him, but he tried to content himself with the thought that the treasure probably still rested in the cabin of the Ithaca, where Bududreen was to have deposited it. He wished that the Dyaks would take themselves off so that he could board the vessel1 and carry the chest ashore2 to bury it against the time that fate should provide a means for transporting it to Singapore.
In the water below him floated the Ithaca's masts, their grisly burdens still lashed3 to their wave swept sides. Bududreen lay there, his contorted features set in a horrible grimace4 of death which grinned up at the man he would have cheated, as though conscious of the fact that the white man would have betrayed him had the opportunity come, the while he enjoyed in anticipation5 the other's disappointment in the loss of both the girl and the treasure.
The tide was rising now, and presently the Ithaca began to float. No sooner was it apparent that she was free than the Dyaks sprang into the water and swam to her side. Like monkeys they scrambled6 aboard, swarming7 below deck in search, thought von Horn, of pillage8. He prayed that they would not discover the chest.
Presently a half dozen of them leaped overboard and swam to the mass of tangled9 spars and rigging which littered the beach. Selecting what they wished they returned to the vessel, and a few minutes later von Horn was chagrined10 to see them stepping a jury mast—he thought the treasure lay in the Ithaca's cabin.
