SYNOPSI3: A widespread re- volt of savage Dyak tribes makes tt impossible fo- my uncle, James Clyde, to run any guns to the be- sieged rajah, his client. A further complication is the presence of the Forresters’ yawl, the Avon, in the tropical waters of Balingong bay. Clyde tries to persuade Christine, a young English girl, and her brother Robert. to leave the danger spot. Christine blank- ly refuses. She is completing a “plan” of her dead father.

Feb. 12.--Mrs. Rob- ert.Harper of Akron and ber sis- ter, Mrs. Frederick Rowe, wife of a missionary in the Belgian Congo, have not seen each other for years, but they keep in touch by short-wave radio.

He sum- moned Mrs. Harper, and the sis- ters have since engaged in several hour-long conversations. S ness, slouching along any water- front of the world.

Yet it had one great dis- tinction — there were no Laskars in it, no Kanakas. Undoubtedly Clyde could have shipped a crew of Malays that would have been cleaner and better men, better sea- men. But he doggedly stuck to one Principle in his crews—that in a pinch a white man was of peculiar value in those seas. “Get this tub over,” my uncle said, and they moved to free the mr Jt The Key West High Schoo?
