She kept worrying about van der Donggen. “That man is astonished and alarmed,” she declared. “He didn’t believe you when you told him that you have no connection with any power, except the Sultan of Saremba. He thinks you're working for the British East India| Company. He may even think that; you're employed in some indirect way by the British Foreign office.” “Let him,” said Clyde. “But he'll make representations to his government. You know how Sensitive the Dutch are about their sphere of influence. Those people are looking 100 years ahead. They have a hold on things that they can't possibly use, and even be- yond that they are trying to keep other countries from getting 2 foothold where they cannot. They see plainly what we can’t make land see—that the nations must get now what they're going to use later—or when they can use it they won't be able to get it.” “That's just the point,” VENGEANCE Sydney.—n order to keep his Sweetheart fr z 2 rival, a youth of Ballarat.

We’l! change your nationality.” ~ | I could net make out then whether or not Clyde believed many of his own wild dreams. I think now that he did not believe hem, nor even pretend ta himself did. { think now,that his plan for empire was the recourse of a harassed man beset by in- on P| numerable difficulties. He could noti have gone on as he did if he had let his mind rest upon the darkness, the malignancy, the tedium of the years ahead. One more month Passed, and ft was a month of torrential rains. Some of the many unrelated things we had to do every day were be- coming easier, because they were now dropping into repetitive rou- tiriés. Sick Dyaks were handled in one’ way, and tribal quarrels another way, and so on down the laundry list. But the famine con- tinued to tighten, and with it our trouble with the Malays. Like Killer-Whaies We were beginning to think that for the Malays to come with foree of arms, openly at war, could hardly be so bad for us as that they should simply continue to live among us, pursuing their customary -way of living. Of all the faces in the islands, the Malays were the most cleanly, the most advanced ih culture, the most strict in iow morals which they respected. But they were as predatory as killer-whales, and ever could be anything else; even fhete Teligion was one of violence. And we could not rid. ourselves at would. be; of these people. The Rajah Clyde's ultimate purposes | authority in Balingong was legally the su; sufferance of from goin; chose without new agreements altogether. We could only go on holding them in check as well as we could, while Rentongen held ominously aloof, no longer appealing to the tajah. And from Saremba we | heard no single word, either of confirmation or objection! It could not go on forever. In id-October came between Clyde and Rentongen. I sup) we had known from the first that the raj of Bali: ‘was not going to be large eni to hold both the white rajah and Mantusen’s Shah Bandar. The break between the two was as in- evitable as the eternal lashing tor- | rent of the rain. Yet when it came | it was as sharp and quickly over jas the stroke of a kris. A party of Dyaks, very pathetic in their emanciation, one morning came to Clyde from far up in the headwaters of the Siderong. They tia@-a complaint against the Ma- Jays, of course. No one ever came to us who did not. In addition to ‘whatever other troubles they had, there were always some hitter tecomplaints agai the > Malays. | But this complaint was, a new jone, even though 1 had seen it coming. and dreaded it for a long j timp. j | A party of Malay traders had maneuvered a village into their debt, by no more intricate device than simply forcing them to take goods which they did not want The Dyaks, of course, were un- able to pay: nane of them could pay anything any more. To satisfy the debt, therefore, the Malays had taken from the vil- | lage seven young women and one ismall child. who were now pos- sessed as slaves; and, unless there was intercession, these would be bought and sold as slaves for the Test of their lives. When Clyde heard this head bert wearily, and he his eyes with his fingers. Malays had gone too far with him at last, and he could neither ignore | this thing nor turn back. I remem- | ber the long, long pause, filled with the rush and the rattle of the wind, while I waited for Clyde to tell me what I was to do. (Coteright 1938.
