Twelve Henry EMPIRE FOR YWOP8IS: A widespread revolt of aav ill Dyak trlbea make It lmpoulble for mw uncle. James Olrda, to run any tuna t tha baaleaed rajah, hU cltant.

"I wlAh," Clyde said with Irrita tion, "that you would stop gabbling about tier.' I see no reason to be lieve that Robert Forrester Isn't running this show, Just aa he pre tends." I This was so silly that It needed) no reply. I said, "I still dont see; their father as a sun-runner. I've; read some of his monographs, and tnere tent" "Of course Anthony Forrester wasn't a gun-runner. Anything so practical would have bounced off his head. But he knew the island of Sumantang Heavens, he was in people's way around here enough so that he ought to have known It. Now this half-baked boy of his finds himself broke, and with the old man out of the way he thinks he'll make a quick use of what the old man knew. That's all there Is to that." "It still doesnt explain Chris tine's attitude," I insisted doggedly. There's something queer about this business; It just doesnt fit togeth er. She ought to be glad to Join you, Instead of shying off like she does." "I've cleared up the whole thing In my own mind," my uncle said ab ruptly. "What makes it look queer is that they dont know their own game. Well, that's their look-out. To hell with them! Rout out your port watch, and get ready to lower way.- "You going back to the Avon?" "Certainly not! I'm going up that river." Sooner or later I had known It Would come and this was it "If Rajah Mantusen is alive." I said, "he's boxed In; bees use if ha wasnt boxed In we'd have heard from him by now. And If he's boxed tn so his Jungle runners cant get out, then we cant get In." "How do you know we cant get tn?" he shouted at me. "Well feel our way. If the going gets tough well turn around and come back." There you are. That was Clyde. It seemed to me that in all my life I had never heard a plainer plan of suicide. There would be log booms chained across the Sfderong river; some of them would open for us then close behind. There would be a rain of spears; 100 praus might be ready to close with us hand to 5i & MY WHAT 110 MUSCLIS you haye,' say Salva tore Sealese and Ralph Gilot (right), as they examine bulging bleep ef Walter Kansas at New York.

But Clyde was going in, and if he couldn't get through he plan ned to Just turn around and come back. Maybe he was coming back. "Sir," I said, "If we go into the Siderong, I suppose you realize we are not coming out." He looked at me with a brief quick widening of the eyes. "Mr. Thome, you will remember your place. I've told you to break out your port watch. Now move I" Silence, for a minute. Already we were getting accustomed to the everlasting hammer of the distant agongs; so that now what heard was the little whispering of the sea upon the quiet reef. It seemed to me a beautiful sound. cool and free, and the open sea homelike and desirable place. Who could want to leave It for the river, with Its dark and sticky heat, and its myriad waiting blades to assure that he would never leave that hole again? I stood up. A bosun's pipe isn't used in a place like the bay of Ba llngong. Why advertise to a hostile shore that you are about to do something? And besides, everybody is on deck, hunting a breath of air in whatever shade he can find. I hardly raised my voice. "Port watch. Stand by to lower away." Sprawled figures began to move. The bosun Jumped up with the cricket-like way of motion he had, and went around waking up some who had gone to sleep. I turned back to my uncle. "What arms, sir?" "I had the arms stowed in the whaleboat while you were asleep this morning," Clyde answered dry ly. "Mind your own duties, and try to keep up to scratch for a change; ltu give you enough to do." The port watch began to straggle up half a dozen common seamen as nondescript as any you would want to find. Not one among them that you would have marked, unless for outstanding drunkenness. slouching along any waterfront of the world. To us, though, they were Individuals, intimately known, each useful within limits that could be accurately foreseen. In a sense, that crew was the scrapings of every wharf in the Orient. Yet It had one great dis tinctionthere were no Lax tears In it, no Kanakas. Undoubtedly Clyde could have shipped a crew of Ma lays that would have been cleaner and better men, better seamen. But he doggedly stuck to one principle in his crews that in a pinch white man was of peculiar value in those seas. "Oet this tub over," my uncle said, and they moved to free the falls, "Come on and get your clothes on, Paul." Carl Anderson We put on shoes, shirts. white jackets with plain brass buttons as large as a dollar. It was our standard uniform for dealing with the lesser rajahs, and we never used it lor anything else. As we came on deck. John Blair, the second mate, was standing by the falls. The whaleboat was al ready in the water. Blair's muddy skinned, face had a permanent grin, weary set to It, as of disgust. "Any special orders, sir?" he asked. "There's a first class chance you 're about to get your throats cut," my uncle said. "Better drop a round shot across the bow of any war canoe that shows Itself by day light At dark, draw your round shot and load with grape." "Aye, sir." Clyde slung himself over side, easy and loose-Jointed, I followed him. "Smartly, now!" Clyde said. the and "Let us. see you lift her In there as if you knew your business, The crew bent to it, and the whaleboat began to chock the swing across the water, pointed to the mouth of Siderong, I was thinking, "He says to hell with her them. But he cant bring himself to leave her here. This move Is in her defense, wheth er he knows It or not!" Except for Christine Forrester, the Llnkang would already have been on the open sea.
