Mr. Gregory is the narrator of the "Dick Mace" prose text story "Pearls of Peril."
Mr. Gregory was a writer who wrote detective fiction. While Mr. Gregory was traveling, gathering material for a novel, he met famed detective Dick Mace. He met Mace on the Island of Nauru. Mace was there trying to apprehend a gang of pearl thieves.
As Mr. Gregory relates in this story, his experiences in Nauru cost him the friendship of James Lee Chong, a "humanitarian extraordinary." When a boatload of thieving white sailors tried to steal Chong's latest batch of purchased pearls, Dick Mace ably helped defend Chong by organizing Nauru natives to fend off the sailors. Mr. Gregory tried to help, too, but what he did to "help" was to hide the pearls in a pickle barrel, where the vinegar in the barrel melted the pearls into a worthless glutinous mass. Chong was disgusted by what his friend Mr. Gregory did.
Fortunately, Mr. Gregory only hid - and destroyed - about 21% of the pearls Chong had just purchased. But Chong was still mad at Gregory.
