And then, as he brought his gaze back to the wall, he saw a figure standing very erect on its summit; a man of enormous proporticns in a white drill tunic and baggy silk trousers. 'He did not need the assist- ance of binoculars to recognize Chai- Hung. Within a matter of seconds, a sec- ond form had joined him, pushed from below by unseen hands. In a flash there dawned upon him the meaning of that maneuver of the early hours, the band that had brok- en through carrying something slung from a pikul. His senses reeled “IFor God's sake stop that damned tailed by the government to appre- hend Chai-Hung, is engaged to be married to Monica Viney. Monica's brother, Captain John Hewitt, is commissioner of police at Jesselton, British North Borneo. Pennington leads an expedition to capture the bandit leader. Peter is ably assisted by his chief-of-staff, Rabat-Pilai, who, because of a personal griev- ance, hates Chai-Hung bitterly. . v e A bullet drilled a hole in his topee and Dawson laughed aloud. A knot of fanatics—running short of ammu- nition—hailed their approach with a shower of rocks. Dawson dispatched the first man with his pistol and the remainder took to their heels to fall upon the bayonets of the last of Clay's party.
