His
head
appeared
above
the
dock
edge.
"All
right,"
he
said
tiredly.
"The
Master
has
a
rule
requiring
all
his
ships
ready
for
instant
flight.
Very
useful.
The
big
plane
is
fueled
and
full
of
oil.
We'll
go
out
to
it
and
take
off."
Jamison
lifted
The
Master
to
his
feet
and
with
a
surge
of
muscles
swept
him
down
to
the
flooring
of
the
dock.
"Paula
first,"
said
Bell,
"and
then
The
Master,
and
then
you,
Jamison."
"One
moment,"
said
The
Master
reproachfully.
"It
would
be
cruel
not
to
let
me
reassure
my
subjects.
I
will
give
an
order."
Bell
and
Jamison
listened
suspiciously.
But
he
spoke
gently
to
the
coachman.
"You
will
tell
the
deputies,"
said
The
Master
in
Spanish,
"that
a
month's
supply
of
medicine
for
all
my
subjects
will
be
found
in
my
laboratory.
And
you
may
tell
them
that
I
shall
return
before
the
end
of
that
time."
The
coachman's
eyes
filled
with
a
passionate
relief.
"Now,"
said
The
Master
placidly,
"I
am
ready
for
our
little
jaunt."
Paula
descended
the
ladder
and
seated
herself
in
the
bow
of
the
boat.
Bell
covered
The
Master
grimly
with
his
automatic
as
he
descended,
with
surprising
agility.
Jamison
came
down
last,
and
resumed
his
former
grip
on
The
Master's
collar.
Bell
rowed
out
to
the
big
plane.
Jamison
kept
close
watch
while
Bell
started
the
four
huge
motors
and
throttled
them
down
to
warming
up
speed,
and
while
he
hauled
up
the
anchor
with
which
the
huge
seaplane
was
anchored.
