... Australia?" she asked.

I nodded, "We're going to stop at my little hide-a-way down in the Bismarck Sea, pick up a few things I need, and then we'll head down to Brisbane to drop you off. From there I'm heading to Honolulu but that might take a while if I can find work."

"How long do you think it will be until we make Brisbane?" she asked.

I did a little figuring in my head. "I figure about four thousand miles, ten knots...a stop for fuel...three weeks would be about right."

She gave me a sour look. "Three weeks? Oh, no."

I gestured at the sea, "You could swim but it might take a little longer."

"No, what I mean is...well...you're right. Thank you. I should be more grateful for your kind assistance. I'll go tell the girls." she turned to leave.

"Wait a moment, bring back any of your girls who have any experience driving a boat or sailing. I'm going to need some help if we're going to get to Brisbane."

She did what I asked and came back with three of the girls. Proper introductions followed and I appointed Jacintha, Verina, and Laurelle as Ensigns. I went about showing them how to read a bearing from the binnacle and how to use it to hold a course. Jacintha had experience with her father's ship the SS Soesterberg and told me she'd helmed the ship several times. She was promptly promoted to Lieutenant and I gave her the helm which she took with confidence.

Assigning Jacintha to instruct the other two girls on the helm I went off to survey the rest of ...

... the passengers and find them a berth.

From there things went quite nicely. The girls would take turns on the helm and that let me get some shut-eye here and there. It took two days to make the San Bernadino Strait and from there we left the Philippines behind.

We were about halfway to the Bismarck Sea enjoying a pleasant morning when Anneke came running up to the wheelhouse jabbering away at Jacintha in Dutch.

I interrupted, "Jacintha, what's she on about?"

"Captain, Anneke says the Japanese have gone to war against America, the British, and the Dutch! A war has started!"

I left Jacintha in charge and went down to the radio to find out what was going on. A station in Manila was on the air saying the Japanese were bombing the city and had attacked the American bases.

I'd expected this but it was still a shock to hear that it had really happened.

It was four more very nervous days to make it to my hide-a-way. At night we ran dark and that's a dangerous thing to do but it's even more dangerous to leave the lights on during a war.

I'd bought my little piece of paradise from a German friend who had been an officer aboard the SMS Seeadler during the Great War. It was the last sailing ship to be used as a warship and when he'd get drunk he'd cry about his beautiful bird. In 1937 he decided he wanted to go back to Germany and help build up a new navy and so he sold me his island.

Technically speaking it wasn't his to sell. But since the Kaiser wasn't going ...
