Supposing
,
then
,
he
got
the
loan
,
"
Mr.
Van
Wyk
resumed
in
a
deliberate
undertone
,
"
on
your
own
showing
he
's
more
than
likely
to
get
a
mortgagee
's
man
thrust
upon
him
as
captain
.
For
my
part
,
I
know
that
I
would
make
that
very
stipulation
myself
if
I
had
to
find
the
money
.
And
as
a
matter
of
fact
I
am
thinking
of
doing
so
.
It
would
be
worth
my
while
in
many
ways
.
Do
you
see
how
this
would
bear
on
the
case
under
discussion
?
"
"
Thank
you
,
sir
.
I
am
sure
you
could
n't
get
anybody
that
would
care
more
for
your
interests
.
"
"
Well
,
it
suits
my
interest
that
Captain
Whalley
should
finish
his
time
.
I
shall
probably
take
a
passage
with
you
down
the
Straits
.
If
that
can
be
done
,
I
'll
be
on
the
spot
when
all
these
changes
take
place
,
and
in
a
position
to
look
after
your
interests
.
"
"
Mr.
Van
Wyk
,
I
want
nothing
better
.
I
am
sure
I
am
infinitely
...
"
"
I
take
it
,
then
,
that
this
may
be
done
without
any
trouble
.
"
"
Well
,
sir
,
what
risk
there
is
ca
n't
be
helped
;
but
(
speaking
to
you
as
my
employer
now
)
the
thing
is
more
safe
than
it
looks
.
If
anybody
had
told
me
of
it
I
would
n't
have
believed
it
,
but
I
have
been
looking
on
myself
.
That
old
Serang
has
been
trained
up
to
the
game
.
There
's
nothing
the
matter
with
his
--
his
--
limbs
,
sir
.
He
's
got
used
to
doing
things
himself
in
a
remarkable
way
.
And
let
me
tell
you
,
sir
,
that
Captain
Whalley
,
poor
man
,
is
by
no
means
useless
.
Fact
.
Let
me
explain
to
you
,
sir
.
He
stiffens
up
that
old
monkey
of
a
Malay
,
who
knows
well
enough
what
to
do
.
Why
,
he
must
have
kept
captain
's
watches
in
all
sorts
of
country
ships
off
and
on
for
the
last
five-and-twenty
years
.
These
natives
,
sir
,
as
long
as
they
have
a
white
man
close
at
the
back
,
will
go
on
doing
the
right
thing
most
surprisingly
well
--
even
if
left
quite
to
themselves
.
Only
the
white
man
must
be
of
the
sort
to
put
starch
into
them
,
and
the
captain
is
just
the
one
for
that
.
Why
,
sir
,
he
has
drilled
him
so
well
that
now
he
needs
hardly
speak
at
all
.
I
have
seen
that
little
wrinkled
ape
made
to
take
the
ship
out
of
Pangu
Bay
on
a
blowy
morning
and
on
all
through
the
islands
;
take
her
out
first-rate
,
sir
,
dodging
under
the
old
man
's
elbow
,
and
in
such
quiet
style
that
you
could
not
have
told
for
the
life
of
you
which
of
the
two
was
doing
the
work
up
there
.
That
's
where
our
poor
friend
would
be
still
of
use
to
the
ship
even
if
--
if
--
he
could
no
longer
lift
a
foot
,
sir
.
Provided
the
Serang
does
not
know
that
there
's
anything
wrong
.
"
"
He
does
n't
.
"
"
Naturally
not
.
Quite
beyond
his
apprehension
.
They
are
n't
capable
of
finding
out
anything
about
us
,
sir
.
"
"
You
seem
to
be
a
shrewd
man
,
"
said
Mr.
Van
Wyk
in
a
choked
mutter
,
as
though
he
were
feeling
sick
.
