Itam
says
that
,
as
for
him
,
he
understood
at
the
first
volley
what
had
happened
.
Though
untouched
he
fell
down
and
lay
as
if
dead
,
but
with
his
eyes
open
.
At
the
sound
of
the
first
shots
Dain
Waris
,
reclining
on
the
couch
,
jumped
up
and
ran
out
upon
the
open
shore
,
just
in
time
to
receive
a
bullet
in
his
forehead
at
the
second
discharge
.
Tamb
'
Itam
saw
him
fling
his
arms
wide
open
before
he
fell
.
Then
,
he
says
,
a
great
fear
came
upon
him
--
not
before
.
The
white
men
retired
as
they
had
come
--
unseen
.
'
Thus
Brown
balanced
his
account
with
the
evil
fortune
.
Notice
that
even
in
this
awful
outbreak
there
is
a
superiority
as
of
a
man
who
carries
right
--
the
abstract
thing
--
within
the
envelope
of
his
common
desires
.
It
was
not
a
vulgar
and
treacherous
massacre
;
it
was
a
lesson
,
a
retribution
--
a
demonstration
of
some
obscure
and
awful
attribute
of
our
nature
which
,
I
am
afraid
,
is
not
so
very
far
under
the
surface
as
we
like
to
think
.
'
Afterwards
the
whites
depart
unseen
by
Tamb
'
Itam
,
and
seem
to
vanish
from
before
men
's
eyes
altogether
;
and
the
schooner
,
too
,
vanishes
after
the
manner
of
stolen
goods
.
But
a
story
is
told
of
a
white
long-boat
picked
up
a
month
later
in
the
Indian
Ocean
by
a
cargo
steamer
.
Two
parched
,
yellow
,
glassy-eyed
,
whispering
skeletons
in
her
recognised
the
authority
of
a
third
,
who
declared
that
his
name
was
Brown
.
His
schooner
,
he
reported
,
bound
south
with
a
cargo
of
Java
sugar
,
had
sprung
a
bad
leak
and
sank
under
his
feet
.
He
and
his
companions
were
the
survivors
of
a
crew
of
six
.
The
two
died
on
board
the
steamer
which
rescued
them
.
Brown
lived
to
be
seen
by
me
,
and
I
can
testify
that
he
had
played
his
part
to
the
last
.
'
It
seems
,
however
,
that
in
going
away
they
had
neglected
to
cast
off
Cornelius
's
canoe
.
Cornelius
himself
Brown
had
let
go
at
the
beginning
of
the
shooting
,
with
a
kick
for
a
parting
benediction
.
Tamb
'
Itam
,
after
arising
from
amongst
the
dead
,
saw
the
Nazarene
running
up
and
down
the
shore
amongst
the
corpses
and
the
expiring
fires
.
He
uttered
little
cries
.
Suddenly
he
rushed
to
the
water
,
and
made
frantic
efforts
to
get
one
of
the
Bugis
boats
into
the
water
.
"
Afterwards
,
till
he
had
seen
me
,
"
related
Tamb
'
Itam
,
"
he
stood
looking
at
the
heavy
canoe
and
scratching
his
head
.
"
"
What
became
of
him
?
"
I
asked
.
Tamb
'
Itam
,
staring
hard
at
me
,
made
an
expressive
gesture
with
his
right
arm
.
"
Twice
I
struck
,
Tuan
,
"
he
said
.
"
When
he
beheld
me
approaching
he
cast
himself
violently
on
the
ground
and
made
a
great
outcry
,
kicking
.
He
screeched
like
a
frightened
hen
till
he
felt
the
point
;
then
he
was
still
,
and
lay
staring
at
me
while
his
life
went
out
of
his
eyes
.
"
'
This
done
,
Tamb
'
Itam
did
not
tarry
.
He
understood
the
importance
of
being
the
first
with
the
awful
news
at
the
fort
.
There
were
,
of
course
,
many
survivors
of
Dain
Waris
's
party
;
but
in
the
extremity
of
panic
some
had
swum
across
the
river
,
others
had
bolted
into
the
bush
.
The
fact
is
that
they
did
not
know
really
who
struck
that
blow
--
whether
more
white
robbers
were
not
coming
,
whether
they
had
not
already
got
hold
of
the
whole
land
.
They
imagined
themselves
to
be
the
victims
of
a
vast
treachery
,
and
utterly
doomed
to
destruction
.
It
is
said
that
some
small
parties
did
not
come
in
till
three
days
afterwards
.
However
,
a
few
tried
to
make
their
way
back
to
Patusan
at
once
,
and
one
of
the
canoes
that
were
patrolling
the
river
that
morning
was
in
sight
of
the
camp
at
the
very
moment
of
the
attack
It
is
true
that
at
first
the
men
in
her
leaped
overboard
and
swam
to
the
opposite
bank
,
but
afterwards
they
returned
to
their
boat
and
started
fearfully
up-stream
.
Of
these
Tamb
'
Itam
had
an
hour
's
advance
.
'
'
When
Tamb
'
Itam
,
paddling
madly
,
came
into
the
town-reach
,
the
women
,
thronging
the
platforms
before
the
houses
,
were
looking
out
for
the
return
of
Dain
Waris
's
little
fleet
of
boats
.
The
town
had
a
festive
air
;
here
and
there
men
,
still
with
spears
or
guns
in
their
hands
,
could
be
seen
moving
or
standing
on
the
shore
in
groups
.
Chinamen
's
shops
had
been
opened
early
;
but
the
marketplace
was
empty
,
and
a
sentry
,
still
posted
at
the
corner
of
the
fort
,
made
out
Tamb
'
Itam
,
and
shouted
to
those
within
.
The
gate
was
wide
open
.
Tamb
'
Itam
jumped
ashore
and
ran
in
headlong
.
The
first
person
he
met
was
the
girl
coming
down
from
the
house
.
'
Tamb
'
Itam
,
disordered
,
panting
,
with
trembling
lips
and
wild
eyes
,
stood
for
a
time
before
her
as
if
a
sudden
spell
had
been
laid
on
him
.
Then
he
broke
out
very
quickly
:
"
They
have
killed
Dain
Waris
and
many
more
.
"
She
clapped
her
hands
,
and
her
first
words
were
,
"
Shut
the
gates
.
"
Most
of
the
fortmen
had
gone
back
to
their
houses
,
but
Tamb
'
Itam
hurried
on
the
few
who
remained
for
their
turn
of
duty
within
.
The
girl
stood
in
the
middle
of
the
courtyard
while
the
others
ran
about
.
"
Doramin
,
"
she
cried
despairingly
as
Tamb
'
Itam
passed
her
.
Next
time
he
went
by
he
answered
her
thought
rapidly
,
"
Yes
.
But
we
have
all
the
powder
in
Patusan
.
"
She
caught
him
by
the
arm
,
and
,
pointing
at
the
house
,
"
Call
him
out
,
"
she
whispered
,
trembling
.
'
Tamb
'
Itam
ran
up
the
steps
.
His
master
was
sleeping
.
