He
told
me
further
,
gnashing
his
teeth
,
that
the
Rajah
was
a
"
laughable
hyaena
"
(
ca
n't
imagine
how
he
got
hold
of
hyaenas
)
;
while
somebody
else
was
many
times
falser
than
the
"
weapons
of
a
crocodile
.
"
Keeping
one
eye
on
the
movements
of
his
crew
forward
,
he
let
loose
his
volubility
--
comparing
the
place
to
a
"
cage
of
beasts
made
ravenous
by
long
impenitence
.
"
I
fancy
he
meant
impunity
.
He
had
no
intention
,
he
cried
,
to
"
exhibit
himself
to
be
made
attached
purposefully
to
robbery
.
"
The
long-drawn
wails
,
giving
the
time
for
the
pull
of
the
men
catting
the
anchor
,
came
to
an
end
,
and
he
lowered
his
voice
.
"
Plenty
too
much
enough
of
Patusan
,
"
he
concluded
,
with
energy
.
'
I
heard
afterwards
he
had
been
so
indiscreet
as
to
get
himself
tied
up
by
the
neck
with
a
rattan
halter
to
a
post
planted
in
the
middle
of
a
mud-hole
before
the
Rajah
's
house
.
He
spent
the
best
part
of
a
day
and
a
whole
night
in
that
unwholesome
situation
,
but
there
is
every
reason
to
believe
the
thing
had
been
meant
as
a
sort
of
joke
.
He
brooded
for
a
while
over
that
horrid
memory
,
I
suppose
,
and
then
addressed
in
a
quarrelsome
tone
the
man
coming
aft
to
the
helm
.
When
he
turned
to
me
again
it
was
to
speak
judicially
,
without
passion
.
He
would
take
the
gentleman
to
the
mouth
of
the
river
at
Batu
Kring
(
Patusan
town
"
being
situated
internally
,
"
he
remarked
,
"
thirty
miles
"
)
.
But
in
his
eyes
,
he
continued
--
a
tone
of
bored
,
weary
conviction
replacing
his
previous
voluble
delivery
--
the
gentleman
was
already
"
in
the
similitude
of
a
corpse
.
"
"
What
?
What
do
you
say
?
"
I
asked
.
He
assumed
a
startlingly
ferocious
demeanour
,
and
imitated
to
perfection
the
act
of
stabbing
from
behind
.
"
Already
like
the
body
of
one
deported
,
"
he
explained
,
with
the
insufferably
conceited
air
of
his
kind
after
what
they
imagine
a
display
of
cleverness
.
Behind
him
I
perceived
Jim
smiling
silently
at
me
,
and
with
a
raised
hand
checking
the
exclamation
on
my
lips
.
'
Then
,
while
the
half-caste
,
bursting
with
importance
,
shouted
his
orders
,
while
the
yards
swung
creaking
and
the
heavy
boom
came
surging
over
,
Jim
and
I
,
alone
as
it
were
,
to
leeward
of
the
mainsail
,
clasped
each
other
's
hands
and
exchanged
the
last
hurried
words
.
My
heart
was
freed
from
that
dull
resentment
which
had
existed
side
by
side
with
interest
in
his
fate
.
The
absurd
chatter
of
the
half-caste
had
given
more
reality
to
the
miserable
dangers
of
his
path
than
Stein
's
careful
statements
.
On
that
occasion
the
sort
of
formality
that
had
been
always
present
in
our
intercourse
vanished
from
our
speech
;
I
believe
I
called
him
"
dear
boy
,
"
and
he
tacked
on
the
words
"
old
man
"
to
some
half-uttered
expression
of
gratitude
,
as
though
his
risk
set
off
against
my
years
had
made
us
more
equal
in
age
and
in
feeling
.
There
was
a
moment
of
real
and
profound
intimacy
,
unexpected
and
short-lived
like
a
glimpse
of
some
everlasting
,
of
some
saving
truth
.
He
exerted
himself
to
soothe
me
as
though
he
had
been
the
more
mature
of
the
two
.
"
All
right
,
all
right
,
"
he
said
rapidly
and
with
feeling
.
"
I
promise
to
take
care
of
myself
Yes
;
I
wo
n't
take
any
risks
.
Not
a
single
blessed
risk
.
Of
course
not
.
I
mean
to
hang
out
.
Do
n't
you
worry
.
Jove
!
I
feel
as
if
nothing
could
touch
me
.
Why
!
this
is
luck
from
the
word
Go
.
I
would
n't
spoil
such
a
magnificent
chance
!
"
...
A
magnificent
chance
!
Well
,
it
was
magnificent
,
but
chances
are
what
men
make
them
,
and
how
was
I
to
know
?
As
he
had
said
,
even
I
--
even
I
remembered
--
his
--
his
misfortune
against
him
.
It
was
true
.
And
the
best
thing
for
him
was
to
go
.
'
My
gig
had
dropped
in
the
wake
of
the
brigantine
,
and
I
saw
him
aft
detached
upon
the
light
of
the
westering
sun
,
raising
his
cap
high
above
his
head
.
I
heard
an
indistinct
shout
,
"
You
--
shall
--
hear
--
of
--
me
.
"
Of
me
,
or
from
me
,
I
do
n't
know
which
.
I
think
it
must
have
been
of
me
.
My
eyes
were
too
dazzled
by
the
glitter
of
the
sea
below
his
feet
to
see
him
clearly
;
I
am
fated
never
to
see
him
clearly
;
but
I
can
assure
you
no
man
could
have
appeared
less
"
in
the
similitude
of
a
corpse
,
"
as
that
half-caste
croaker
had
put
it
.
I
could
see
the
little
wretch
's
face
,
the
shape
and
colour
of
a
ripe
pumpkin
,
poked
out
somewhere
under
Jim
's
elbow
.
He
too
raised
his
arm
as
if
for
a
downward
thrust
.
Absit
omen
!
'
'
The
coast
of
Patusan
(
I
saw
it
nearly
two
years
afterwards
)
is
straight
and
sombre
,
and
faces
a
misty
ocean
.
Red
trails
are
seen
like
cataracts
of
rust
streaming
under
the
dark-green
foliage
of
bushes
and
creepers
clothing
the
low
cliffs
.
Swampy
plains
open
out
at
the
mouth
of
rivers
,
with
a
view
of
jagged
blue
peaks
beyond
the
vast
forests
.
In
the
offing
a
chain
of
islands
,
dark
,
crumbling
shapes
,
stand
out
in
the
everlasting
sunlit
haze
like
the
remnants
of
a
wall
breached
by
the
sea
.
'
There
is
a
village
of
fisher-folk
at
the
mouth
of
the
Batu
Kring
branch
of
the
estuary
.
The
river
,
which
had
been
closed
so
long
,
was
open
then
,
and
Stein
's
little
schooner
,
in
which
I
had
my
passage
,
worked
her
way
up
in
three
tides
without
being
exposed
to
a
fusillade
from
"
irresponsive
parties
.
"
Such
a
state
of
affairs
belonged
already
to
ancient
history
,
if
I
could
believe
the
elderly
headman
of
the
fishing
village
,
who
came
on
board
to
act
as
a
sort
of
pilot
.
He
talked
to
me
(
the
second
white
man
he
had
ever
seen
)
with
confidence
,
and
most
of
his
talk
was
about
the
first
white
man
he
had
ever
seen
.
He
called
him
Tuan
Jim
and
the
tone
of
his
references
was
made
remarkable
by
a
strange
mixture
of
familiarity
and
awe
.
They
,
in
the
village
,
were
under
that
lord
's
special
protection
,
which
showed
that
Jim
bore
no
grudge
.
If
he
had
warned
me
that
I
would
hear
of
him
it
was
perfectly
true
.
I
was
hearing
of
him
.
There
was
already
a
story
that
the
tide
had
turned
two
hours
before
its
time
to
help
him
on
his
journey
up
the
river
.
The
talkative
old
man
himself
had
steered
the
canoe
and
had
marvelled
at
the
phenomenon
.
Moreover
,
all
the
glory
was
in
his
family
.
His
son
and
his
son-in-law
had
paddled
;
but
they
were
only
youths
without
experience
,
who
did
not
notice
the
speed
of
the
canoe
till
he
pointed
out
to
them
the
amazing
fact
.
'
Jim
's
coming
to
that
fishing
village
was
a
blessing
;
but
to
them
,
as
to
many
of
us
,
the
blessing
came
heralded
by
terrors
.
So
many
generations
had
been
released
since
the
last
white
man
had
visited
the
river
that
the
very
tradition
had
been
lost
.
The
appearance
of
the
being
that
descended
upon
them
and
demanded
inflexibly
to
be
taken
up
to
Patusan
was
discomposing
;
his
insistence
was
alarming
;
his
generosity
more
than
suspicious
.
It
was
an
unheard-of
request
.
There
was
no
precedent
.
What
would
the
Rajah
say
to
this
?
What
would
he
do
to
them
?
The
best
part
of
the
night
was
spent
in
consultation
;
but
the
immediate
risk
from
the
anger
of
that
strange
man
seemed
so
great
that
at
last
a
cranky
dug-out
was
got
ready
.
The
women
shrieked
with
grief
as
it
put
off
.
A
fearless
old
hag
cursed
the
stranger
.
