c TUESDAY. MAP SYNOPSIS: Our unexpressed love for a young English girl has Kept my uncle, James Clyde, and myself (Paul Thorne) in tropical Balingong through a Dyck revolt and Malay defeat. Christine For- rester, visioning a great empire here. has made Clyde rajah. Famine strikes and war with the Malays threatens. This is a life’s work and we persuade Christine to leave. She baiks on the verge of departure, and emotional strain for the three of us results. Chapter 37 Onur First Visitor “Seas one thing enabled us to wait the famine out—we were not to blame. Over and over this thing happened in these islands. If Clyde could succeed, the day would come when it would not happen again in Balingong. We could only wait now, harass the Malay river- traders, and think about the new crop. “When the rice crop comes in—” That single re-| frain haunted every moment of our lives. We had a slight diversion a: last, when the Avon returned, sick old Captain Stocker doggedly retain- ing his post. And a little after that we had another diversion which | interested us a great deal more. A square-bowed, tubby little brig, heavily and practically armed, came stealing its wayycau- tiously through the pass? into Siderong bay. It brought us Myn- heer van der Donggenpethte first white visitor that the new rajah of Balingong had had. We had} known, of course, that great com- ment would be caused, and per- haps even unfavorable official no- tice, by Robert Forrester’s reap- pearance in Singapore; it might be that British and Dutch inquiries would beset up as to what we were doing in Balingong. This possibility was one we had to ig- nore After all, we could not keep tions here concealed for- ‘e saw in van der Donggen our ever. the first of many who would wish | to know what we were about. Mynheer van der Donggen wes a short, globular man, whom his Chinese tailors nfust long ago have given up trying to fit. In crumpled whites of European cut, he some- how managed to resemble those fat.

Man Of Affairs ALREADY slightly knew this man; and it is a good in- dication of both his ability and his essential character when I say that he was one of the few men con- nected with the archipelago trade whom my uncle respected. He was one of the many Dutchmen in and seas who were factors in the} these Netherlands Trading Society; so had his father been before him. His father had, in fact, been mixed with the old Dutch East India ae y, before it was reorgan- ized by the Crown. In addition to his > in be- half of the Netherlands Trading, van Donggen was concerned with various related Layee Javanese coffee, Sanomba tobac- co, tea plantings on Ceylon, and antimony in Dutch Borneo. His son was in charge of the principal station at Beereass, Duteh banking systems were rapidly establishing th Selves all over the east from kok to Melbourne. His own he: warters were at Buitenzorg, in lava; but most of his time was t in floating ahout from one his concessions to another in his exceedingly slow old brig. He did not look like this sort of man. His capacity for continuous activity was concealed in an extra 100 pounds of fat, and he man- aged a crumpled appearance at all times which suggested the unsuc- cessful drink-cadger, rather than the man of inter-island affairs that he was. It was only when he talked that you began to see why) he was important.

But even to me, who knew next to nothing of political affairs in the islands, it was perfectly plain that van der Donggen w: eon a prowl.

I saw this long before I saw what he was appalled at. Signs of famine were visible everywhere now, but van der fery year saw these some place ev- ery year, and I knew he was not bothered by that.
