SYNOPSIS: While tevolting Dyak tribes besiege Rajah Man- tusen and the Malays, James Clyde, trader and gun-runnet, faces the greatest decision of his life. A young English girl, Chris- tine Forrester, is behind the war, completing « plan of her dead father for Dyak freedom. With Christine’s support Clyde can be- come rajah of Balingeng. But Clyde is in love with Christine, and I (Paul Thorne) am, too. Christine is everything a white ‘™man says goodby to when the tropics strallow him up. “I know. But we—he—vwill have to try.” “T tell you, he can’t succeed at it,” I insisted. “He won't last six months, or if he does, he'll die here, and that will be the end of it.” “Captain Clyde is one of the finest and most able men I have | ever known,” Christine said; and | her tone was as if she spoke of someone who'was dead. “He could Have brought this thing through. | When I found out what he was, I | thought he was a gift from God } to these people.
