==emouth o Chapter 46 Ending In Mystery QOMETIMES, Christine told me, she had sent Tenyalang scouts ashore, and what little she knew, aside from the fragmentary infor- mation Clyde wrote to her. she had obtained in this vay. Bu she only ant them when the suspense be- came unbearable, becau-2 some of them did not come back. By their reports she had heard of my first successes in the fomarrup,-and knew that the Dyaks now called me the Tuan Darah. Presently, though, tere ,had bee. no more news of me, and they had begun to say that I was dead. Two weeks ago she had sent a prau manned by 13 Tenyalang to search for me in the Tomarrup. This wis in direct contradiction to Clyde’s orders to them, but though she could not make them go to Balingong to face Clyde in their disobedience, she had beer able to make them go to the Tomarrup. They were gone a long time, and came back saying that they had found my abandoned praus, and dead men floating without heads in the viver, and that they were sure I was dead. Immediately she had sent an- other prau, with orders that they should stay in the Tomarrup until they had found whatever remained in existence that was mine. They were not to come back until they had either found me or could bring definite proof that I was dead. This Mi | cloud was smoke. To me it was simply one more for2boding sign | | of something that was happening, but the meaning of which we could |not know. Then the dz-k closed over us like the shadow of a lofted sail, and I was glad tod gone. At the last 1 thought of asking Christine for something of hers to take with me; it seemed to me I would feel better up there. in case I did not come back. if I carried something that was hers. But I hesitated, and then did not ask her, for it occurred to me that nothing was needed. Here wes thy hand that she had pressed against her cheek,;.and here .was my mouth, vat she, had kissed What more could I want than that? I grinned at ‘hér—or thought I did—and swung down into my bankong That passage bs the Siderong now was like none I had ever made before. I had come there first in Clyde’s longboat. -hrough the thudding of Dyak drums and the flieker of thrown spears: after that I had gone up to sit sweating on a stockaded -uai, while Mantusen’s paddlers took to their oraus, swag- gering and insolent even in defeat, Thad ridden that river when star- light and che odor uf ginger blos- soms had been the muted back- ground for Christine Forrester’s face.

Sentonne en had proclaimed that the jah was dead, but he Teecbely proclaimed this twice a week, so there was no meaning there. The scouts she had sent last night and the night before had not returned. Once a wave of krismen had rushed the walls of Clyde's stock- ade, but had been thrown back after sharp losses from the Tenya- lang flanking fire. However, they had got ropes onto one of the heavy fons, and had managed. to brea! out of its emplacement and drag it away. This was evidently the gun with which they had fired upon the Linkang and the Avon; the Tenyalang had been lucky to put a stop to that. It was lucky, too, that dey had not turned the gun agai against my earth-banked stockades, The Hand She'd Held iLYDE ealed: from: her what bi had been, But she gone.

The sky retained no more than the faintest gray tinge of starlight filtered through mile- deep clouds; by this alone could you tell the black wall of the jungle from the black wal’ of the night, so that I wondered by what magic the quiet paddies of the Dyaks were able to find the chi nel with their sure, steady swing.
