SYNOr SIS: Love for a young English girl Las plunged my uncle, James Clyde, and myself (Paul Thorne) into a enterprise. With Christine For- rester's support Clyde becomes rajah of tropical Balingong.

Finally, returning with my deplete force, 1 hear that Ren- tongen’s next move was to strike Balingong itself. Chapter 44 In My arms 'T WAS hard for me to get any- thing like a complete report from the Tenyalang pangiran in commar2z. The Tenyalang prai had been sent not by the White Rajah but by the White Ranee. The White Ranee vas aboard the Linkang. The Tenyalang which had come to the Tomarrup had been aboard the Linkang too, to ward the White Ranee—but the nee had sent most of them to me. The pangiran thought there were very few Tenyalang at Ba- lingong town; the White Rajah had sent word to most of them to defend their rice at all costs. Then the Malays. and 1,000 hill tribesmen unfriendly to the White Rajah had attacked. ®alingong had fallen—part of it had been burned. The pangiran thought that the White Rajah’s palace still stood. The Rajah still held pi when last they BE cation between RRajah/and Ranee was rd poor; = days it was cut oJ ‘together. niona gen had padelarmed fuinse! ; of Balingong The White fone | had replied by promising to.d stroy all who supported Renitori. gen. The friendly tribes did not know which side to take; they were scat- tered and disorgani and some of them were fighting among themselves. A few Tenyalang had tome to the war against the orders of the Vhite Rajah; they were sniping the enemy from the jungle. The Siderong had heard what 1 had done in the Tomarrup. There were remarkable reports of how we had destrnyed whole armies So they b it me around the | oimne bow of Linkang, and I was looking upward into the pinehed, white face whose dark eyes stared at me from overside. I remember thinking then, “She will look that way when she is old. When she is very old, this face will be Christine’. And it will still be the .nost beautiful face in the world. But something tore at my throat. seeing it so pale and hollowed now. They got me safe on the Lin- kang’s deck; then Christine was in my arms, clinging to this scare- crow out of the Tomarrup, this queer, wracked ghost the currents had brought back to hex out of the November monsoons. We were trying to talk to each other, but neither one oi us could get out anything coherent, so that our words made a crazy confused whispering that not even ourselves understood While I was in the Tomarrup, far away, she had seemed very close to me; but now, in my arms, she at first seemed a stranger, so much was she a Our breathless voices stumbled | presently to find the same word | ..

That was about all the pangiran had to say that» was intelligible. There was a good deal more about Spirits of several kinds that were infesting the jungle around Balin- @0ng; 4 number of miracles were fad io have happened. of one sort oF another, and I paid nc atten- tion to this. Sut there were also two or three incidents which sounded as if they might have begpened. and which I di¢ not rstand. A great gun, which, t: judge by the pangiran’s description, could only have come from my own mountings in Clyde’s stockade. had beea brought to the beach, and for some hours had fired upon the Linkang and the Avon, until the Tenyalarg had captured it and rolled it into the sea. This was a peculiar story. because the panei Fan should uave known a Mala: lantaka when he saw one, and could hardly have confused one with a long swivel.

Once we were far enough into the pass to open Balingong Bay we uncorked everything we saved, in a final drive to reach the Linkang before we could be cut off.
