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

"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

"How do you know we cant get

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

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

for outstanding drunkenness.

In a sense, that crew was the
scrapings of every wharf in the
Orient. Yet It had one great dis

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."

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

shot and load with grape."
"Aye, sir."

mouth of Siderong,

bring himself to leave her here.
This move Is in her defense, wheth

Except for Christine Forrester,
the Llnkang would already have
been on the open sea.
