Dave and Dan have an unpleasant experience. Old “Burnt-face” scores. The green jade necklace. The young naval officers meet a plausible stranger. The snub that went home.

Darrin voices a suspicion. Sighting a strange craft. Perhaps a tragedy. A bullet from the quarterdeck. What was found in the canoe. A hideous sight. The police are notified. A prophecy come true.

“I don’t believe that I would trust him.” An accident and a rescue. The Englishman has luck. Chilled with suspicion. “We sail at seven.” Dave Darrin wonders.

Yankee guns speak out. To the rescue of the imperiled mission. Dave faces the yellow mob. “Charge bayonets!” Thousands follow the detachment. Up to the governor.

Henshaw plays the gong. Bang! Crash! Zim! Zoum! Smash! A brave front. Dave Darrin’s happy surprise. Prisoners of the governor. Something doing on board the “Castoga.”

Rebels on the war path again. The warship’s guns in action again. Ensign Darrin invades the yamen. “Burnt-face” makes his appearance. “The rioters are about to attack, sir!”

Sin Foo turns green. The treasure of the burned mission. Belle Darrin cool under fire. Fighting men must eat. The mystery of Pembroke. Mrs. Darrin gets a tip. “That is an awful thought.”

Yellow soldiers “get the gate.” The yamen door goes down. A stern warning. Machine guns sweep the hordes. Scaling ladders against the walls. “Prepare to repel boarders!”

“We are going to have a noisy night.” American blood is drawn. “Let ’em have it strong!” Fighting for their lives. Dave and Dan are without fear. An unequal battle. Ensign Darrin makes a terrifying discovery.

“Help here! Quick!” Five men against scores. Battle yells change to groans of pain. “Good work, Darrin and all hands.” Dave makes an arrest. Gongs make night hideous. Rebels rush the yamen.

Ensign Darrin’s desperate plan. The governor in terror. Old “Burnt-face” swoons. Dave tests the powder. “Fire the magazine when you think it is the only course left!” Darrin kisses his wife farewell.

Hand to hand on top of the wall. Yellow men hurled to the ground. Sampson totes the governor. Words that acted like magic. Villainy is suspected. “Forward, march!”

Riding on a powder magazine. On board the “Castoga.” “Well done, Darrin.” Dan objects to being thanked. A summons from the sickbay. What happened to Pembroke.

Dave hears a confession. “If I am alive in the morning.” The governor’s avarice. The part of “Burnt-face.” Darrin shakes hands with a scoundrel.

The lot of a naval officer. Dave admits being badly scared. How the governor made amends. Sailing of the “Castoga.” Good bye to Belle. Ordered to report to the Admiral. What came of Darrin’s report.

A wonderful medallion. “In my family 600 years.” A ride after a two-legged horse. Belle receives a present. Could not keep a secret. Dave in line for trouble.

The note that Belle lost. Japanese are polite in their indignation. Dave is astounded. What does it all mean? Prepared to face a storm.

An insult resented. Danny Grin bears a startling message. “What are you going to do about it?” A joke that was not a joke. Dave Darrin challenged to a duel.

Danny Grin makes a speech. That was a splendid deed. Never smelled powder. Japanese officers unconvinced. Dave Darrin is shunned. The Frenchman’s snub. “If any man dares, I’ll wring his neck!”

“Spt! Spt! Sizz! Sizz-zz!” A sputtering bomb under Ensign Darrin. Japan’s undying gratitude earned. A belated apology. The mystery of the stolen medallion. Honored by the Emperor.
