Christine For- | rester.@ young English girl, is be- hind the revolt, completing a plan of her dead father for Dyak free- dem. Rajah Mantusen thinks my uncle, James Clyde, controls the Dyaks and offers him the gover- norship of Balingong. While Christine tries to convince Clyde that this means unlimited oppor- tunity for wealth and power, | (Paul Thorne) go back aboard the Linkang and wait. 4 Chapter 25 More Millions Than One c= was gone until late in the afternoon. I had no ballast to| shift, of course. The crew loafed under their awning, forward, some of them half-heartedly playing cards, some getting in their routine gtumblings; tut mostly they just scratched and sweated, and specu- lated about what was going to happen. I talked w.th Blair under the other awning, aft; I wrote up the log, and tinkered with a sex- tant I was trying to make; but mostly I was wondering what Clyde was getting himself into. Clyde tame back aboard the} Linkang as the sun was lowering. “Will she move out yet?” “No.” ‘ “T suppose we can kidnap her out of here, if it comes to that.” Clyde snorted. “Take her where?

After he was he went below and presently brought up some old account ks, and a batch of loose paper.

And | I have no doubt he knows it” “Don’t even snow it myself,” said Clyde obstinately “The raj of Balingong has a lot of stuff—that’s | what interests me. It has ginger, it | has chincona. I don’t see why it couldn't pay for itself as it goes. Even if we got booted out later, we ought to be ahead—way ahead. I don’t want to stay here forever.” “You mean you just figure to make a clean-up and run?” “Of course I want to make a clean-up! What else? I can run when I have to.” Pro*ind Con “"THIS girl,” I cautioned him, “is getting you in deeper than that. This girl has held over a lot of her ideas from: her father. And her father was a reformer.

All that kind of vanilla. the plans that girl has would break the bank of England.” He stared at me blankly. “Don’t talk so much.” He went back to his Sguring. But when next he threw down | his pencil he took a different tone. “The whole thing is unsound and unsafe,” he saic disgustedly. “Tl take my ship in where anybody will, and [ll take some awful chances to get a cargo. But this thing is beyond all reason. The man doesn’t live who could work it out.” I chose to argue with him again. It did not matter to him what my opinion was; I took the —— side to make him talk. day long I had been wondering what Christine was saying to him. I had thought I was not interested in what she was saying when her ar- guments were directed ‘to me, but now that it was he to whom she T was hi for even a eee Fe oi things she had said. “The Rajah Brooke did it,” I pointed out. “The same flim-flam exactly.” “It is not the same: Brooke was invited in by natives who knew him and trusted them, and were his debt. Mantusen, here, has those Dyak gun-muzzles prod- ing his belly. There isn’t any point of similarity.” “T told you Balingong raj couldn’t be held,” I pane ey Pirate praus—” “Damn the pirate praus.
