Cocoanut-planting was his particular idea, with trading, and maybe pearling, along with other things, until the plantation should come into bearing.

He traded off his yacht for a schooner, the _Miele_, and away we went.

He was his own skipper.

We had a Danish mate, Mr.Ericson, and a mixed crew of Japanese and Hawaiians.
