"Kenneth Robeson - Doc Savage 040 - Haunted Ocean" - читать интересную книгу автора (Robeson Kenneth)

THE little man who came in bowed obsequiously. His flashing white teeth smiled at every one. His skin was
of the yellow darkness of an Oriental. But his clothes were elegantly correct. His English was faultless.

"I do not need to confirm the information that this is the establishment of Clark Savage," he said. "I am Kama
Dbhana. It would be much simpler to call me Kama, which is the family name."

"Sure!" grunted Renny, who was worrying about Doc. "Mr. Kama is all right with us! What can we do for
you?"

"Mr. Savage, he is not now present?" said Mr. Kama.

He glanced with sparkling black eyes at Professor Callus. He had a passing gleam of appreciation for the

it?"

Hjalmar LandsonтАЩs mild, blue eyes went rather blank.
"I have no friend in what you call this Coast Survey," he said, slowly. "No, it is not that. My countryman, he
informed meтАФ"

"You havenтАЩt met Mr. Kama, or Professor Callus, or Miss Krants?" Renny asked.

"I have seen this Mr. Kama," said Hjalmar Landson, unexpectedly. "But it does not matter. The others I have
