"Now, Mr. Kuntz, you propose to dive for treasure on a sunken ship, do you not?"

The big man was plainly flustered. He had been to fortune-tellers before, but never had one shown so complete a knowledge of his thoughts and intentions, even knowing his name!

"I-I-yes!" he gasped, staring at her as if hypnotized.

She held forth her hands and took hold of his gnarled palms.

"You must leave at once," she chanted. "You must leave at once or you shall die!"

"You-you mean I-?" The diver was perspiring.

The fortune-teller stared at him grimly and nodded, "You must leave the sunken Katawa unmolested, or you shall die a horrible death!"

Kuntz arose, white and shaking. He fished blankly in his pocket for a roll of bills, handed one to the woman, and staggered out into the open. It was already dusk.

The diver walked rapidly in the direction of the village center. As he passed a clump or shrubbery on a lonely stretch of road, a shrill cry froze him in his tracks.

"You will die on the Katawa!"

The diver jumped like a startled deer. An instant later he crashed to the ground and lay motionless.
