Chapter 31
Trouble From Two Quarters
I found myself work. A Dyak gen
tleman In need of a head for a mar
riage ceremony caught himself
wayfaring Chinaman, whom he
promptly disorganized. I Jumped up
the river with five Tenyalang rifle
men and caught the Dyak; Clyde
fined him 14 baskets of rice and took
away the head. During our first
month I had seven more cases like
that, and caught three. This accom
plished little, but I was getting ready
for something else. The Tenyalang
would work for me now, and I al
ways had more volunteer parangmcn
than X could use. I was waiting for
an outrage which would force me to
teach them a lesson, and establish
Clyde's prestige by means of suitable
unfortunate happenings. Somebody
had to be licked as an example, and
I was anxious to get It over with.
Meantime Christine had moved in
to Balingong's plank-and-bamboo
palace. For some tune the Dyaks
had worried a good deal over Clyde
having no consort. After many at
tempts they had finally given up
trying to sell nun any Dyak girls,
and had made him an outright gift
of 18 or 20. When he put these aside
in a separate house and never went
near them, he was waited upon by a
committee.
They explained that they had ne
ver yet had a rajah without a ranee.
and they feared for the effect upon
the rice crop. They simply must
have a ranee, or what would be the
use of planting at all? Oreatly amus
ed, Christine seemed to welcome this
excuse for overriding Clyde's opinion
mat sne ought to stay on her ship.
uur aaiiy aiiairs were further en
livened by the arrival of Rentongen.
Definitely in our agreement with
the Rajah Mantusen had been the
concession by Clyde that a Malay
Bhah Bandar, to be named by Man
tusen, should act as Clyde's assist
ant and advisor in tax assessing,
revenue collecting, and general
search and seizure. It was the last
assistance we wanted, but we had
to have him, because of course he
was a necessary official link with
oaremoa and Mantusen's head nv
Now that the coast was safe, this
oinciai arrived, complete with staff,
effects, and retinue, in four welt
manned bankongs.
I will say for Rentongen that
have never seen a more presentable
jviaiay. Though not as tall
Mantusen himself, he was weU
above the average Mslay height.
ana carried ninueif with the bal
anced, leisurely grace of the active
fighter. In age he was probably 30,
but his supple muscles were more
like i, and his face no more than
80. If I had not known Malays I
woura nave said tnat hit face was
candid and friendly.
The first move of this cheery pi
rate was to have all of his belone-
Ings carried Into the Rajah Clyde's
nouse. ne oian t wait to be asked;
Rentongen was, as we were to dis
cover, strictly self-inviting through
out. He Inspected and passed
Clyde's extension of the longhouse.
now nearly completed; and drop
ped the remark that he and his
people would now have something
to eat.
We ate. As we went through the
long ceremonious silences neces
sary to my uncles first council with
Rentongen, I know that Clyde was
trying to think of a diplomatic way
to get the rascal out of his house I
before he settled down to live there.
Bui uns question never came up.
Because otner matters much more
aerious appeared Immediately.
We now learned that Clyde's con
cession as regarded the 8hah Ban
dar had been somewhat misunder
stood and exaggerated whether by
Rentongen or Mantusen himself we
oould not make out. What Renton
. By
MAY
gen understood was that he was
now In full charge of all taxations,
extortions, frame-ups, and port lev
ieseven the principal trade burg
laries, notably the monopolies on
salt and gunpowder.
From the revenue he collected he
was to hold out the annuities for
the Sultan of Saremba, the annui
ties for Mantusen, and a little
something for himself and his peo
ple; the remainder was then to be
turned over to Clyde to meet gov
ernment expenses, with accountings
satisfactory to Rentongen.
In one stroke, if he gave in to all
this, Clyde's rajahship was reduced
to a purely military liability. Even
this, Rentongen suggested, the Shah
Bandar would be happy to make
easy for the Rajah Clyde. He would.
if my uncle desired, take entire
control of all fortifications, expe
ditions, intimidations, and miscel
laneous ambushes, leaving the Ra
jah Clyde free to enjoy his title un
impeded, together with whatever)
profits might be left over when
Rentongen had had his whack.
It was a grave situation, almost
an insuperable one. It would be a
long time before we could dare
defy Saremba.
And now we had to explain to
Rentongen that he was not collec
tor of revenue either under or
over Clyde. It was the duty of the
Shah Bandar of Ballngong to re
ceive the annuities that were due
Mantusen and Saremba; these
were fixed and definitely stlmi-
lated In the Arabic script. The sal
ary of the Shah Bandar was also
fixed; we had to tell him he was
going to get that and no more, and
when It came to the collecting, we
would do It ourselves and in our
own way.
There was something magnifi
cent, with greatness in it, about my
uncies direct, casual, unexcited i
way of handling that. He simply
reminded Rentongen what the writ
ten agreement contained, and in
formed htm he meant to adhere to it
to the tetter.
If Rentongen was not satisfied
and Rentongen made It very plain
that he was not my uncle sug
gested that Rentongen had better
go home and tell Mantusen that he
had failed, and let Mantusen send
somebody else.
The thing was very far from end
ed; no one council could ever per
suade Rentongen that he was as
much let down as that.
And now In another quarter the
test that we had been waiting for
broke wide open. A small party of
Tenyalang which I had sent In pur
suit of a head murderer were set
upon by a large force of Dyak
fighting men, at a village In the up
per Paiowlt; five of them were kill
ed, one other lost his sacred rifle
and 100 miles of jungle waited to see
what the white rajah would do.

Food For Deer
WeU, It this Isn't an exciting
winter, bow-wow-wow," barked Rip.
aa WUly Nilly put on his coat and
cap and heavy winter overboots
and stepped out-of-doors Into the
cold night "First we have the wild
animals visiting not far from here
in the Bnpty Houm. and now the
deer Bra ouUlde."
WUly Nilly went outf-doora.
"You're hungry," he said to the
deer, and they turned their toft,
beautiful eyes upon him and mur
mered, "Very, very hungry.'
"You'd like some fruit and some
vegetable! I'm aura, and I have,
Carl Anderson
plenty of food for all of you."
The little man went back Indoors
again and got as much food as he
could carry. Rip helped him with
some of the packages of food and
Sweet Pace helped, too.
Then, In the cold snowy night,
the deer had a banquet.
"We do not like to come where
people are as a rule," said one of
the deer. "People do not like us
or perhaps I should say they like us
too well.
"During the rest of the year we
go our own ways, but In the win
ter time we often keep together
like this. We feel It makes It safer
for all of us and we can get food
when we are able to protect each
other. In the summer there are
woods and orchards, and there are
crops and we do not move In deer
crowds."
The deer ate and ate and then
Willy Nilly told them to rest in
the shed where It was warm. But
It was all Willy Nilly could do to
get warm after having been out
for so long a time. The Puddle
Muddlers got little sleep that night.
Tomorrow: "Presents."
