PAGE EIGHT SYNOPSIS: Carrying a gun- eargo for Rajah Mantusen, we en- counter a Dyak revolt against the Malays on Sumantang island. Mantusen blames my uncle, James Clyde, and is holding him prisoner until 1 (Paul Thorne) can bring our fortified ship, the Linkang, up-river to aid the Ma- lays. Christine Forrester, a young English girl, is behind the war, and supplying the Dyak guns. She refuses to call off her sharpshoot- ers so I can rescue Clyde, and even worse, the Linkang cannot cross the bar. I must have her yawl, the Avon. Chapter 19 Christine’s Answer 'HEN,” I told Christine, “there’s no hope for Clyde.” “We must make hore. You must go to Mantusen, and find some way to persuade him to accept my terms. It’s the only chance there is” “There’s one other,” I said. I told her now what I thought the other chance was—that though the Linkang could not be| taken into the river, the Avon per- haps could. I explained to her at long length just how I could kedge the Avon up the Siderong perhaps to that second turn which commanded the stockades. “Give me my chance,” I begged her. “I know the Dyak tribes could take me if they thought they could; but there’s a possibility that they’l! fun from the sound of the heavy There are still enough Ma- left to carry the stockades, once I smash down some of the walls.” TI went on with a lot more, talk- ing hard, talking for my life. I fell silent at last because the girl said nothing, so that in the end tan down. The mass of orchids behind Christine was swaying a little, making plain how utterly motion- less she sat. I noticed now the Strange, unsettling quality of her stillness. There was a long si and eventualiy it became unen- durable. “In the name of heaven, say something!” She stood up then, and moved slowly to the rail, her rope-soled shoes perfectly silent on the deck. She stood looking across at the moon-silvered loom of Sumantang: and her profile was as quiet as if she had been looking at some sleeping flower garden in the Eng- lish shires. “The ginger crop is heavy this year.” Her voice was remote, as if she had been able to move herself miles away. “Whenever there’s an off-shore wind you can smell those blossoms.” Part of me was deeply moved bv that frail. valiant defiance of all the unknown fates hovering over Sumantang. But she had given me my answer, too. “You mean. then, you'll do noth- ing at all to help Clyde?” ” Her words were very quiet. “My father lifted these people into this revolt. He trained them, and en- couraged them. and—loved them. Yet you want me to betrav them, as completely and as treacherous- Wy as any people were ever be- trayed.” The Final Word STOOD silent for a little while: | then, in desperation, tried one thing more. “The Linkang has a cargo.” I said. “We don't have any of the Usual trade goods: but we have ny_number of guns. Sup- pose we offer the Linkang’s cargo of arms in place of the Mantusen loot. You seem to know the Dyaks better than I do: but it looks to me as if we might be able to buy them off vet. with all those guns.” simply | | hardly hear her words. “I think I | know what I am going to do.” I waited, while for a moment she bit her lips. | “I’m going to send my brother to Mantusen in the morning,” she said. 3 | . “With that first insane proposi- tion?” “Yes.” | Preparation DIDN'T argue; there wasn’t anything more to say. I went back to my ship. but I knew now what I was going to do.

I could have volunteered to go instead, with that message, like a fool. Or I could have gone ahead and landed my , in an attempt to smash the Dyak stockades from a hill position. But that would have amounted to the murder of my own crew. Isaw now only one other way. At na time, did I have any confi- dence ih my plan. I did not see then, and I do not see yet, how I could have accomplished i a to get a lot of my peo; urt. Blair was violently opposed to my goings on. I settled him by agreeing that he should stay with the Linkang, and that the whole Her voice still had that toneless effent of great distance. “We have| activity should be mine, and mine alone.
