Chapter 9

The first few hours were pretty much the same. About noon we entered the
first chain of small islands. Some were no more than piles of rock, while
most were covered in thick green foliage. Some had very high peaks on them,
that looked like extinct volcanoes. The larger islands had villages dotted
along the shore and several boats and some yachts could be seen at anchor.

After a very enjoyable dinner of local cuisine, the crew set up the two
fifties and manned the fore deck 40 mm. I was on the bridge, and absolutely
nothing was on the radar screen as we swept through the channel between the
islands. After it was fully dark, Jake stood down the gun crews and
everyone pretty much retired, except for Jake and Randy.

Sex between my lovers didn't happen every night, but we always cuddled
together. I loved to go to sleep, with my two young lovers heads resting on
my chest. An arm around each. I always awoke with raging hard on and one of
my lovers would suck me off. Always a great way to start the day and most
mornings I had one their sweet nectars filling me. As they were now almost
exclusively the chefs on board they were not required to man our
weapons. In most cases they were almost up and gone to the galley long
before anyone else was even moving.

The next three days were pretty much the same with only incident. On the
second evening just as the sun was going down a small boat came charging
out of a bay we were passing. One of fifties and the 40 mm tracked it as it
sped by heading who knows where. It passed out of radar range, still going
like a bat out of hell.  The fourth evening we had just finished manning
the weapons when two boats came out of bays on either side of our line of
travel. Jake estimated that if they held their present course the would
come within almost contact range of the Sandpiper. We were doing about 45
knots.

"We pretty much have to let them shoot first, if it is their intention to
try and stop us."

"Yeah, too bad." Jake said.

"Lets see how they react to an increase in our speed."

Jake slowly increased from 45 to 60 knots. We did notice an increase in
their speed, so Jake took us up to 90 knots, almost instantly. I wasn't
sure about almost flying through these waters at such a speed, but Jake
assured me all the shoals and reefs were well marked. Our increase in
speed, very quickly outpaced the two small boats. They had about as much
chance of catching us as a snowball had of surviving in hell. Once they
were well astern, Jake went back down to fifty knots. We stood down the
crews and settle down for another night. That turned out to the only
incident of our trip to Brunei. Very late on the sixth day we glided into a
port on the north coast of Brunei. Customs was prefunctional, and soon we
were docked in a civilian marina.

We spent three carefree days in port. Everyone had a chance to stretch
their legs and visit the small port city. While Andy and his two young
lovers spent a lot of time in the markets, getting fresh food and produce,
Singh, Siam and myself explored the shops and sites. No one batted an eye
that I had a young man on each side of me or even when I would give one or
the other a quick kiss. Very refreshing.

Several small squalls with wind and rain interrupted our visit, but for the
most part it hot and sunny. Jake suggested and I agreed, we would head for
Port Moresby next. So after a relaxing respite we set off on our next leg.

We were about 100 miles out of Port Moresby, when there was a very loud
thump, then the whole yacht started to shake. Randy, on the bridge at that
time stopped the yacht. Jake and I ran to the bridge.

"Looks like we hit something." Randy said.

Weather it was semi-submerged log or a large fish or shark, we didn't
know. Jake grabbed a mask and snorkel and jumped in along side the forward
foil. He came up about a minute later and we helped him on board.

"Forward port foil is smashed all to hell, even broken right through. It is
definitely a boat yard repair. Don't think we can even retract them."

"Lets see if we can proceed on the hull." I said.

Although very noisy we could get up to about 15 knots before it started to
shake like hell. Jake said we could proceed as long as we kept the speed
under 15 knots. Almost a full 10 hours to Port Moresby. Most of the boys
not used to the rock and roll of the yacht on the hull got pretty seasick
for a while. It was a long slow trip into Port Moresby.

After docking Jake took off to find a boatyard where we could get Sandpiper
out of the water. The only outfit, he found was a small shipyard. Not
having any choice we moved the yacht to the yard. When she was finally
lifted out we could see the real extent of the damage. Almost the entire
port foil was smashed. The really bad news was the shipyard had no
experience in foils and did not have the parts to repair her.

I enquired if I could get the parts could they put them on.

That was answered in the affirmative, but where the fuck could I get the
parts needed. Sandpiper had been modified in Italy, a whole way around the
planet. It was sure bet, it was going to cost me an arm and a leg. I called
the Shipyard in Italy and explained my problem. They told me they could
ship the parts by airfreight, but the cost was going to very high. The
total cost just to get the parts here was going to be close to 50,000
USD. Then there was the cost of getting them fitted again. Nothing for it,
I ordered the parts and had them shipped out by air.

Best estimate was three weeks for them to arrive. Time for some shore leave
for all the crew.  Jake and Randy said they would stay in Port Moresby
while the rest of us had a holiday. I had planned on giving everyone an
extended shore leave when we got to Australia. Now I guess we would start
here. I advanced everyone 3,000 USD from there wages and booked flights for
all of them. I got Jake and Randy a suite in a good hotel in Port Moresby.

"You guys enjoy yourselves. We will take good care of Sandpiper." Jake
said, as we headed out to board a flight to Darwin.

Except for Andy, Jimmy and myself, none of the boys had ever been on an
aircraft before. They were both scared and in wonder as we took off. In
Darwin, I told the others to enjoy Australia. I took Singh and Siam and
booked a flight to Melbourne.

WE became real tourists, looking at everything and enjoying a real
holiday. After Melbourne we went to Sydney and then after a four day tour
of the outback, flew to Perth. Here we stopped to finish our holiday. We
were for the most part too tired from all the site seeing to even have sex
at night. That ended in Perth. Here we were just going to relax for a
week. I got us a suite right on the Indian Ocean.

Even though sleep was the first thing on my mind, it was not on my two
lovers. We had barely got into the suite and alone when they almost ripped
my clothes off. They dragged me into the shower, giving me one of the best
showers I had ever had. Feeling their hands washing and rubbing every part
of me got me so hard I could have taken them right then and there. After
pulling me from the shower and drying me, I was dragged willingly to the
big king sized bed. I was barely laying down when Siam straddled my chest
and sucked my cock into his mouth. I looked up and Siam's cute balls were
right by my lips. I lifted my head a bit and started to suck and nibble
them. After playing with them for a while, I pushed Siam forward a bit and
ran tongue into his crack. As I started to rim him he started to moan and
tremble. As I pushed my tongue against his very tasty rosebud, it opened a
little each time my tongue pressed him. I would have loved to get my tongue
right inside him, but it just wasn't near long enough. All at once Siam
lifted up and moved back, with one hand he pushed cock down and into my
mouth. He then just sat down pushing his cock straight into my throat. He
blew his first load immediately, filling my mouth and throat with his sweet
sperm. Tasting his sperm sent me over the top and I unloaded into his
mouth. He had barely finished taking my load when he quickly turned and fed
my cock into his ass. Even if my cock had wanted to go down, feeling his
hot ass clamp over my cock kept me rock hard. He bent over and deep kissed
me, pushing some of my come into my mouth. I shared some of his with
him. That started him really bouncing on my cock. I had almost forgotten
about Singh, until he entered me. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feelings
of both boys using me. It took quite a while for me to blow my second
load. When I did I felt Singh coming in me. My cock did wilt this time and
Siam bent down and kissed me and then stepped off me. Singh took his
place. Singh fed his semi hard cock into my mouth, I tasted his sperm
covered cock and I couldn't believe I was starting to get hard again. Singh
helped by going down and sucking on my cock. Siam, I could feel was down
rimming my open hole, licking and enjoying Singh's load. As Singh lifted
out of my mouth, I spread his cheeks and pulled his ass down to me. I
rimmed as I had done Siam and he started to moan and squirm as my tongue
tried to get inside him. All at once he turned and fed my cock into his
ass. Now it was the reverse as Singh bounced on my cock while Siam entered
me. These two boys definitely knew how to put me into a state of pure
bliss. Never in my life had I felt so much pleasure than what I got from my
two young lovers. Singh's eyes were closed tight as he just
continued. Sweat dripped off him, but he never slowed and Siam just kept up
steady pace in and out of my ass. I am not really sure how long it was
until my cock finally exploded into Singh's ass. I felt Siam's hot spunk
filling me almost immediately. My cock deflated this time completely. That
did not stop me from sucking Siam's cock clean of my two lovers spunk. Both
boys took turns riming my ass to get the two loads that had been deposited
there and I rimmed both of them as well. Damn what an afternoon. WE all
just cuddled together after that and had a short sleep.

After a short nap, I woke having to piss so hard, I had really hurry for
fear of just letting loose right in the bed. I carefully crawled out from
between my two boys and was very relieved to empty my swollen bladder. I
slipped into the shower and was barely wet when Singh and Siam were in with
me. They just emptied there bladders right in the shower. After getting
out, we dressed in shorts, grabbed some beer and headed out to watch the
sunset over the Indian Ocean. Both were sitting snuggled right against me
on the settee. I looked down at Siam, he had a tear slowly making its way
down his cheek.

"You okay love?" I asked.  "I can't help it Ed. I am so happy, I just need
to cry sometimes."

I leaned over and kissed him and then licked the tear from his cheek.

"Siam, you make happy to, that I have you."

I turned and kissed Singh.

"You two boys are the best thing in my life. I hope you both will be with
me forever."

They just hugged me closer.

After the sun set, we went inside and ordered some dinner. Just sitting
watching them as we ate made my heart sing. After dinner we turned on the
TV in the room. I couldn't honestly remember when the last time I had sat
and watched TV. We found out that some kind of Festival was starting the
next day. Australia Days, or something like that. That would be our next
days destination.

I thoroughly enjoyed sucking off both my boys before sleep. A nice sweet
snack before bed. Again we just snuggled together in our usual way, both
boys with their heads on my chest and my arms around both.

When I awoke, Singh was sucking my cock, while Siam sucked him. I rolled
over a little and pulled Siam's cock into me. Both boys had such control,
that neither came until I did. Always loved waking up to their loving.

After a good breakfast we prepared for our first day of relaxed sight
seeing. Three of standing nude in the suite, made me think I was now almost
as brown as them, well almost as brown as Siam. Singh was almost
black. Shorts, t-shirts and running shoes was how we dressed. I had bought
both boys digital cameras and we slung them over our heads. I wasn't at all
sure of the reaction of three gay men walking hand in hand, but after
getting outside and seeing several others doing the same thing forgot all
about my worries.

The festival turned out to be almost one huge party. Most of the activity
was along what I figured was the cities main river. Parks lined both sides
and tents and kiosks were every where selling everything. We watched what I
was sure as native Australians dancing, jugglers, a massive brass band
march up and down the mall, lone busker's of every kind. By comparison to
the way everyone was dressed we were very plain in blue shorts and white
t-shirts. I fixed that quickly by stopping at one of the many venues and
bought colorful shirts for the boys and myself. The only thing I hated was
the almost oppressive heat with little wind.

About noon we stopped at a very busy open air bar. We found a place close
to the main avenue and ordered lunch and the inevitable beer. The boys
loved everything and took hundreds of pictures. Their smiles could light a
city. AS I was checking one of the many brochures we had picked up, I saw
that this evening was an open air concert followed by fireworks. When I
asked if they wanted to go, both boys were ecstatic.

After lunch we wandered along and visited several museums and shopping
malls. I bought what ever my lovers wanted. I also bought a good lap top
computer. I knew both boys cameras were probably almost at capacity. I
didn't have one on board so it would be a good addition.

We headed back to our hotel for dinner. We dined on the patio of the main
dinning room. A very excellent meal. No one said a word about my two boys,
obviously both very gay and also very not Australian. It might have
something to do with the price I was paying for our suite, but I didn't
care. After diner we went to our room. Singh showed something new when he
quickly downloaded all our pictures to the laptop.

We opted for shorts and our colorful shirts, with runners again for our
late night out to see the concert and fireworks. I knew even before we got
ready to leave sex was on the minds of my lovers. I grabbed both by the
cock in their shorts.

"Look loves, we will have all night and all week to enjoy everything you
want."

"We know Ed, its just every time we get close to you we want to make love."

"I know. I feel exactly the same way." I leaned down and kissed both boys.

After we had all come down a bit, although I don't think either of my
lovers were ever really down, we headed for the concert. We took a blanket
from the hotel to sit on. I stopped along the way and bought a six pack of
beer in a cold pack. It must be allowed as I saw several others doing the
same thing. We found an open spot above the band shell and sat down. Both
boys were sitting so close, it was like we were joined at the hip.

The concert started with `Australia Fair', the National Anthem, followed by
what I guessed was the unofficial Anthem `Waltzing Matilda'. From then on
it was mixture of classical and modern music. The finale was the `1812
Overture', with real guns firing in time to the music. The fireworks
started near the end of the Overture. The boys were in heaven as they
watched the show. I admit I loved it all. We were all just a little tipsy
as we made our slow way back to the hotel.

I know sex was on all our minds as we showered before bed, but the days
activities had totally worn us out. We opted to just cuddle and sleep.

I had to get up half through the night to pee. When I came back I looked at
two sleeping lovers. Now I was one with tears running down my face. How
could I have found two such loving boys? I carefully laid between them and
they just rolled over putting their heads on my chest. I wrapped both arms
around them.

I'm not sure which said it as I laid holding them.

"Don't cry Ed, we will always love you."

That just made me cry more. They moved closer and wrapped there legs and
arms around me too. Sleep came quick.

When I awoke, both boys were so close together they could have kissed each
other. Both also had a hand on my very hard cock. I could see both their
flaccid cocks laying on my thighs. Even flaccid, they looked delicious. I
kissed the top of both boys head.

Singh lifted his head.

"Good morning Ed.

He moved up and planted a deep kiss on my lips. As his tongue ran into my
mouth I felt Siam slipping my cock into his mouth. My problem now was, that
it was not a horny hard on, but a real bad piss hard on. I tried to get
myself up, but Singh with his body right on top of me prevented it. My
body, feeling Siam's hot mouth, took over and released my full bladder. I
couldn't stop myself. Siam seemed not to notice and never missed a drop. He
continued to suck even after I was finished pissing in his mouth. Very soon
after that he got ball load as well. He lifted off.

"I'm sorry Siam, I didn't want that to happen." I said.

"I did Ed. To me it was just showing you another way I love you. You taste
very good Ed, all of you."

"Ed, both Siam and I have done that before. Both of us were just boy toys
to be used anyway our customers wanted. We both have done more than just
drinking pee. To us it all part of why we love you. You took us away from
being just toys. You can do anything you want to us Ed, we will still love
you. Drinking your pee is a very minor thing to us. Siam said you taste
good all ways, I want to taste you all ways too."

 "Look boys, I did enjoy it in one part of me, but it is not something you
ever have to do."

We don't mind Ed." Siam said.

"Ed, we almost held you down last night when you got up to pee. Instead we
decided to wait until morning.

"You were both awake?"

"Yes love. We can always feel when you wake up and always feel exactly what
you feel."  "I guess it is another thing that no words can express. We love
you completely Ed." Singh said.

Tears stung my eyes and both boys were up so close so fast. Just holding
me.

They let me cry my eyes out and then both licked off my tears, planting
kisses on my cheeks and lips in turn. I could only just hold them. My whole
mind was numb with the feelings inside me.

I slowly came down from the rush of love for them I was feeling. Siam broke
the mood open.

"I'm hungry." He said.

"Siam, you are always hungry." I laughed.

"Well food first love, then you later." He giggled.

As I sat up both boys stood at the end of the bed. Neither was hard and I
looked at their really nice uncut cocks.

"Shower first." I said.

"What not this?" Siam said as turned and wagged his very cute ass in my
face.

I gently swatted his ass.

"No shower and food, something to fill my stomach, not like your two little
loads." I laughed.

Both boys pouted and I laughed again. I also noticed Siam's cock had
thickened a lot after I swatted his ass. Christ, I supposed he liked to get
spanked too. Going to have set down some rules with my two lovers. Hurting
them in anyway was not in the cards as far as I was concerned.

After a long hot shower, I felt 100% better. Both boys had assisted and now
both had shorts on. I ordered a big breakfast for us and then we sat on the
balcony to eat.

We decided to spend the next couple of days on the beach, relaxing and
soaking up the sun. Both decided on the skimpy Speedo's I had bought
both. I opted for a looser Speedo. We slipped on shorts over our bathing
suits, grabbed towels and headed for the beach. Once on the beach, we sat
in chairs close to the water. Coming from Oregon, where the hottest it ever
got might be 80, I loved the sun and sand. More sun, the better I liked
it. We went swimming and played in the big rollers coming off the Indian
Ocean. Both boys tried surfing. Not me, I just watched as they wiped out
time and time again. Both were excellent swimmers, something I had not
known and both kept trying. Finally both came and flopped on the sand.

Their very skimpy Speedos, were noticed by not just young women, but a lot
of men too. Their baskets showed very prominent. Looking at them turned me
on too.

Fuck you I thought as some of the men walking the beach looked longingly at
them. Their mine and all mine.

Every time they looked at me my heart went zing.

I know damn well they also flaunted themselves. Several times I saw them
adjust their semi-hard cocks in their Speedos as some of the guys
watched. I had two very horny boys in my life and I loved it.

After the first day we were sitting on our balcony sipping white wine.

"Ed, one of those guys offered me 100 dollars to sleep with him." Siam
said.

"What did you tell him?" I chuckled.

"I said, for a thousand dollars he could fuck me, but he would also have to
be fucked by Singh and you."

"Siam, to me there will never be a price high enough."  "I know Ed, he just
shook his head and moved away. I would never want anyone in me but you Ed
ever."

"You guys sure turned a lot of heads today."

"We also made your head bigger." Singh laughed.

The night proved to be another night of fucking, sucking into the wee hours
of the morning. I would never get enough of my lovers ever. Singh, drained
my bladder the next morning, something he said he was going to do come hell
or high water. Well I had satisfied both, now things could get back to
normal, at least that is what I thought.

The next few days we spent both on the beach and exploring Perth. It was
truly a relaxing holiday. But all good things must end. On the sixth day of
our stay in Perth I booked a trip back to Port Moresby. We had to buy two
more suitcases to get all our stuff packed.

Flying into Port Moresby proved to be another experience. Both boys got
violently sick as the plane was buffeted by high winds. Both were very
green in the gills as we deplaned. Jake met us and took us to the hotel.

"Everyone is back. You are the last to return Ed. The parts are in and with
luck, we should be underway in a week. They won't release the Sandpiper
without either cash or a letter of credit for the full cost."

"How much?"

"Exactly? Sixty three thousand, two hundred dollars, Australian."

A hundred grand to repair my yacht. Fuck. Granted including parts, but
still a big chunk of change.

"Okay, I'll contact my bank and have a letter of credit issued."

"Okay I will talk to the shipyard tomorrow."

"Everyone enjoyed themselves?"

"Yes Ed, everyone is very happy."

"How about you and Randy?"

"Ed, I am very happy, every moment I have him beside me."

"Well, I can tell you I will never have Singh and Siam very far from me for
the rest of my life."

My bank made an electronic transfer to the Bank of Australia in Port
Moresby. Soon after I gave the letter of credit to the ship yard we had
Sandpiper back. We spent a day of trials testing out the new
foils. Everything was in the green, all worked perfectly. As we had already
visited Australia, we had to decide where next.

We spent almost four days just replenishing our stores. A lot of food had
spoiled and Andy, Singh and Siam spent more money reloading all the
stores. I had to go the bank just to replenish my cash. Another few
thousand dollars. All in all the damage we received cost me almost 150,000
USD. It was not something I really worried about, interest on my 30 million
Euros, put almost 20,000 Euros into my account weekly.

In port, both my lovers had ambushed me one day. After a long afternoon
suck and fuck session we were sitting in my stateroom.

"Okay my loves, where do you want to go next."

"Can you take us to your home Ed?"

"Yeah I can, but it is almost 7000 miles to my home. Where to next on our
voyage loves? Can't get to Oregon in one trip."

"Why don't you ask everyone else Ed?" Siam asked "You are very right my
very nice boy, About time someone else decided where next."

"So, I am just a boy now Ed?'

"No Siam, you are much more than just a boy. You are one of my two
boys. Singh is just 18, like you. You two are the only boys I love and will
ever love. To me, Me you will always be one my boys. I call Singh boy all
the time, He just loves me more. I hope you will love me more too. Not a
boy Siam, part of me, a very important part of me and you will always be
apart of me. Yes boy you are one of the two I will love forever."

Siam and Singh almost buried me in kisses.

I called up to Jake and asked if he could get everyone together in the
lounge. Andy answered and told me Jake and Randy had gone ashore to clear
up a few loose ends. I told him to get everyone else there. Me and my boys
headed up to talk to the crew.

"Okay guys, I want your input as to where we head next. It can be south
around Australia, or South East to Tahiti or North East into the
Marshalls. My boys both already know where they want to go, but that's
almost 7000 miles away, so we will work our way there. Eventually we will
head to Hawaii."

The general consensus was the Marshall Islands.

"Sounds good guys, I'll talk to Jake when he comes back and see if he has
any ideas."

I didn't here or see Jake until the next morning. I was sitting at
breakfast when he finally made an appearance.

"Get everything done Jake?"

"Yes Ed and picked up new charts for both the Marshalls and the Gilbert
Islands. I take the boys want to head into the Marshalls. A lot of very
nice islands to visit."

"Good, then that's where we will go next."

"Weather looks good too, we'll hit a few squalls, but no big storms
forecast."

"Okay, we can get underway any time your ready Captain."

"Aye, aye Sir." He laughed.

I went up the flying bridge to watch Jake take Sandpiper back to sea. It
always thrilled me that this was my yacht to travel almost anywhere I
wanted to go. Once we were away from Port Moresby, Jack hoisted the big US
Flag up the mast. Very soon after that we went to foils and picked up
speed. I headed down to the bridge to see where we were headed first.

"Timatu Island Ed. It's about the farthest Island south in the Marshall
Island chain."

"So what's there?"

"Well Ed, I guess its time to come clean with you. I brought a boy onboard
last night."

"Well good for you and Randy. You too found a third for you."

"Well, it's not exactly that way Ed. We stole him from a brothel in Port
Moresby."

"Stole him? With his permission I hope."

"Well not exactly. He was a toy. He was chained in a room and used as any
customer wanted. Ed, he was not only abused sexually, he was beaten and
whipped. I think he is Chinese, but I am not sure. I am also not sure how
old he is, he's so thin it is really hard to tell."

"So that was the loose end you were clearing up?"

"Yes. Ed I just could not see myself leaving him there. Randy almost
ordered me to get him out. He told me he would never speak to again if I
left him there. You know I would anything for Randy as you would for Singh
and Siam. So late last night we snuck in and took him out of there. He's in
my Stateroom."

"Okay Jake, I agree with your motives, but not necessarily your
methods. This Island Timatu, is where your heading why?"

"About 12 years ago a massive typhoon hit the Marshalls. There were very
many killed and thousand of others left homeless. About 300 kids were never
reunited with there families. The Catholic and Anglican Churches set up a
camp on Timatu for all the children. Since the typhoon, they have taken in
many young boys and girls who for one reason or another were
abandoned. They also take boys and girls who have been abused. I figured
that would be the best place to take him."

"Okay. Do me a favor? Next time ask so I can help."

"Your not mad at me Ed?"

"Hell no, what do you think I did in Mumbai and Thailand."

I left Jake on the bridge and went down to his stateroom. When I entered
the boys eyes followed me as I walked in. Singh was talking quietly to him
as Siam fed him spoon full by spoon full.

He was covered by a sheet from the waist down, but his bare upper body gave
testament to what he had endured. Numerous bruises and lacerations covered
his upper body. The very worst ones had been carefully bandaged.

"How's he doing boys?"

"Okay Ed, but he won't talk."

"Give him time. He may think he changed one prison for another. Do you know
Chinese?"

"Only a little, but I think Samsun knows more. We had planned to get him
down here as soon as possible, but he is tied up in the engine room with
Randy."

"I want someone with him all the time."

I bent over and kissed both Singh and Siam.

"You guys are doing a great job and I love you more for it."

I could see the young boy was in a lot of pain, but I didn't have anything
stronger than Tylenol on board. I turned to the intercom.

"Jake."

"Yes Sir."

"Take us to flank, we have get this boy help soonest."

I left the three boys and went up to the lounge and poured a very stiff
drink. I just didn't know people could do that to a young boy and it made
me sick in my heart and head. Dinner that night was very subdued. All the
young men on board were feeling for the Chinese male in Jake's
Stateroom. Samsun could and did talk to him. He told me later that the boy
was 15 and had been at the brothel since he was twelve. He had been dropped
there by his parents, sold I thought more likely. It was only in the last
few months that they had started to use him as a whipping boy.

Jake and Randy always slept beside the boy. The others took turns to feed
him and just sit with him. I loved my crew more each hour as they took care
of the young boy.  Twenty two hours after leaving Port Moresby, Jake sited
what he was sure was Timatu.  Christ almost 2500 miles in under 24
hours. We slowed as we looked for the break in the reef surrounding the
deep lagoon. As we passed by the reef, it looked like there were hundreds
of young kids waving from the sand. Jake very carefully eased Sandpiper
into the wharf. As soon as I jumped to the wharf I surrounded by at least
50 boys and girls. An older man scolded and cajoled the kids away from me.

"Hello. I am Father James Timothy. How can we be of service to you?"

I was just a little taken back. The man standing in front of me was about
five foot six inches tall and almost the same around. He had on a pair of
baggy shorts, a colorful shirt and sandals. He did not look like any priest
I had ever met.

"I'm sorry Father, but you don't look like a priest."

"We are very informal here and please call me James."

"Well James, I hope you can help us. We found a boy in Port Moresby who had
been very badly abused. He is in a lot of pain and we hoped he might find
refuge and help here."
