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
