SYNOPSIS: A boil-up of savage Dyak tribes makes the tropical waters of Balingong bay az: un- healthy spot. Our trading vesset, the Linkang, is strongly {orti- fied, but the Forresters’ Avon is defenseless. It is a strange place to find an English girl of 20, and my uncle, James Clyde, is trying to persuade Christine, and her brother Robert, to leave. Cool and serene, Christine insists that they Know what they're doing. ’ Chapter Three The Immovable Objeci zs THINK you are sincere, Cap- tain Clyde,” Christir rester said. “But J] was surprised to hear you speak of warships, and law.

It’s true that my father | was a wealthy man when he left the East India service. But he was not wealthy when he died. He left us very little more than this boat and an uncompleted plan. His plan was carefully studied, and he had put into it every resource he could command. There is nothing for us to-do but to try to complete his project if we can.” “I don’t know what your fa- ther’s project was,” Clyde said, and his tone — doubtless against his will—implied that whatever it was, he didn’t think much of it. “But you'll have to lay it by. Six months from now, or even everything here will be different.’ Mam it cannot be post- The irresistible force had met the immovable object, and Clyde was not tised to that.
