There was more water here than I thought, so that I floundered about idiotically until Blair got hold of me and’ pulled me upright. “Well, you win the war,” Blair said. His Voice was deep and grind- ing, inconceivably bitter. “Where's Clyde? Is he all right?” “Bad—awful bad. He’s alive, and that’s about all. He got shot in the stomach—there ain't no way to get the lead out.

They've been having trouble over there for three or four days. It started off with some kind of fighting back in the bush, and they was beginning to be split up against each other. Then yesterday we began missing a lot of ‘em, or thought we did—it looked to us like a whole lot of ! their Dyak friends had pulled out.

Then in the afternoon, along about the dog-watch, after | they had quieted down and it! looked as if the remaining tribes were going to stay, another row had gone up, and the Dyaks dropped everything they were do- ing and ran, yelling. ‘Could you hear what they were yelling?” “I don’t robe | this, chop-suey. talk.
