Jim
said
nothing
to
this
.
At
last
,
throwing
away
the
switch
he
held
in
his
hand
,
he
said
,
as
if
speaking
to
himself
,
"
I
do
n't
know
whether
I
have
the
power
.
"
...
"
You
do
n't
know
!
And
you
wanted
me
just
now
to
give
up
my
arms
!
That
's
good
,
too
,
"
cried
Brown
;
"
Suppose
they
say
one
thing
to
you
,
and
do
the
other
thing
to
me
.
'
He
calmed
down
markedly
.
"
I
dare
say
you
have
the
power
,
or
what
's
the
meaning
of
all
this
talk
?
"
he
continued
.
"
What
did
you
come
down
here
for
?
To
pass
the
time
of
day
?
"
"'
Very
well
,
"
said
Jim
,
lifting
his
head
suddenly
after
a
long
silence
.
"
You
shall
have
a
clear
road
or
else
a
clear
fight
.
'
He
turned
on
his
heel
and
walked
away
.
'
Brown
got
up
at
once
,
but
he
did
not
go
up
the
hill
till
he
had
seen
Jim
disappear
between
the
first
houses
.
He
never
set
his
eyes
on
him
again
.
On
his
way
back
he
met
Cornelius
slouching
down
with
his
head
between
his
shoulders
.
He
stopped
before
Brown
.
"
Why
did
n't
you
kill
him
?
"
he
demanded
in
a
sour
,
discontented
voice
.
"
Because
I
could
do
better
than
that
,
"
Brown
said
with
an
amused
smile
.
"
Never
!
never
!
"
protested
Cornelius
with
energy
.
"
Could
n't
.
I
have
lived
here
for
many
years
.
"
Brown
looked
up
at
him
curiously
.
There
were
many
sides
to
the
life
of
that
place
in
arms
against
him
;
things
he
would
never
find
out
.
Cornelius
slunk
past
dejectedly
in
the
direction
of
the
river
.
He
was
now
leaving
his
new
friends
;
he
accepted
the
disappointing
course
of
events
with
a
sulky
obstinacy
which
seemed
to
draw
more
together
his
little
yellow
old
face
;
and
as
he
went
down
he
glanced
askant
here
and
there
,
never
giving
up
his
fixed
idea
.
'
Henceforth
events
move
fast
without
a
check
,
flowing
from
the
very
hearts
of
men
like
a
stream
from
a
dark
source
,
and
we
see
Jim
amongst
them
,
mostly
through
Tamb
'
Itam
's
eyes
.
The
girl
's
eyes
had
watched
him
too
,
but
her
life
is
too
much
entwined
with
his
:
there
is
her
passion
,
her
wonder
,
her
anger
,
and
,
above
all
,
her
fear
and
her
unforgiving
love
.
Of
the
faithful
servant
,
uncomprehending
as
the
rest
of
them
,
it
is
the
fidelity
alone
that
comes
into
play
;
a
fidelity
and
a
belief
in
his
lord
so
strong
that
even
amazement
is
subdued
to
a
sort
of
saddened
acceptance
of
a
mysterious
failure
.
He
has
eyes
only
for
one
figure
,
and
through
all
the
mazes
of
bewilderment
he
preserves
his
air
of
guardianship
,
of
obedience
,
of
care
.
'
His
master
came
back
from
his
talk
with
the
white
men
,
walking
slowly
towards
the
stockade
in
the
street
.
Everybody
was
rejoiced
to
see
him
return
,
for
while
he
was
away
every
man
had
been
afraid
not
only
of
him
being
killed
,
but
also
of
what
would
come
after
.
Jim
went
into
one
of
the
houses
,
where
old
Doramin
had
retired
,
and
remained
alone
for
a
long
time
with
the
head
of
the
Bugis
settlers
.
No
doubt
he
discussed
the
course
to
follow
with
him
then
,
but
no
man
was
present
at
the
conversation
.
Only
Tamb
'
Itam
,
keeping
as
close
to
the
door
as
he
could
,
heard
his
master
say
,
"
Yes
.
I
shall
let
all
the
people
know
that
such
is
my
wish
;
but
I
spoke
to
you
,
O
Doramin
,
before
all
the
others
,
and
alone
;
for
you
know
my
heart
as
well
as
I
know
yours
and
its
greatest
desire
.
And
you
know
well
also
that
I
have
no
thought
but
for
the
people
's
good
.
"
Then
his
master
,
lifting
the
sheeting
in
the
doorway
,
went
out
,
and
he
,
Tamb
'
Itam
,
had
a
glimpse
of
old
Doramin
within
,
sitting
in
the
chair
with
his
hands
on
his
knees
,
and
looking
between
his
feet
.
Afterwards
he
followed
his
master
to
the
fort
,
where
all
the
principal
Bugis
and
Patusan
inhabitants
had
been
summoned
for
a
talk
.
Tamb
'
Itam
himself
hoped
there
would
be
some
fighting
.
"
What
was
it
but
the
taking
of
another
hill
?
"
he
exclaimed
regretfully
.
However
,
in
the
town
many
hoped
that
the
rapacious
strangers
would
be
induced
,
by
the
sight
of
so
many
brave
men
making
ready
to
fight
,
to
go
away
.
It
would
be
a
good
thing
if
they
went
away
.
Since
Jim
's
arrival
had
been
made
known
before
daylight
by
the
gun
fired
from
the
fort
and
the
beating
of
the
big
drum
there
,
the
fear
that
had
hung
over
Patusan
had
broken
and
subsided
like
a
wave
on
a
rock
,
leaving
the
seething
foam
of
excitement
,
curiosity
,
and
endless
speculation
.
Half
of
the
population
had
been
ousted
out
of
their
homes
for
purposes
of
defence
,
and
were
living
in
the
street
on
the
left
side
of
the
river
,
crowding
round
the
fort
,
and
in
momentary
expectation
of
seeing
their
abandoned
dwellings
on
the
threatened
bank
burst
into
flames
.
The
general
anxiety
was
to
see
the
matter
settled
quickly
.
Food
,
through
Jewel
's
care
,
had
been
served
out
to
the
refugees
.
Nobody
knew
what
their
white
man
would
do
.
Some
remarked
that
it
was
worse
than
in
Sherif
Ali
's
war
.
Then
many
people
did
not
care
;
now
everybody
had
something
to
lose
.
The
movements
of
canoes
passing
to
and
fro
between
the
two
parts
of
the
town
were
watched
with
interest
.
A
couple
of
Bugis
war-boats
lay
anchored
in
the
middle
of
the
stream
to
protect
the
river
,
and
a
thread
of
smoke
stood
at
the
bow
of
each
;
the
men
in
them
were
cooking
their
midday
rice
when
Jim
,
after
his
interviews
with
Brown
and
Doramin
,
crossed
the
river
and
entered
by
the
water-gate
of
his
fort
.
The
people
inside
crowded
round
him
,
so
that
he
could
hardly
make
his
way
to
the
house
.
They
had
not
seen
him
before
,
because
on
his
arrival
during
the
night
he
had
only
exchanged
a
few
words
with
the
girl
,
who
had
come
down
to
the
landing-stage
for
the
purpose
,
and
had
then
gone
on
at
once
to
join
the
chiefs
and
the
fighting
men
on
the
other
bank
.
People
shouted
greetings
after
him
.
One
old
woman
raised
a
laugh
by
pushing
her
way
to
the
front
madly
and
enjoining
him
in
a
scolding
voice
to
see
to
it
that
her
two
sons
,
who
were
with
Doramin
,
did
not
come
to
harm
at
the
hands
of
the
robbers
.
Several
of
the
bystanders
tried
to
pull
her
away
,
but
she
struggled
and
cried
,
"
Let
me
go
.
What
is
this
,
O
Muslims
?
This
laughter
is
unseemly
.
Are
they
not
cruel
,
bloodthirsty
robbers
bent
on
killing
?
"
"
Let
her
be
,
"
said
Jim
,
and
as
a
silence
fell
suddenly
,
he
said
slowly
,
"
Everybody
shall
be
safe
.
"
He
entered
the
house
before
the
great
sigh
,
and
the
loud
murmurs
of
satisfaction
,
had
died
out
.
'
There
's
no
doubt
his
mind
was
made
up
that
Brown
should
have
his
way
clear
back
to
the
sea
.
His
fate
,
revolted
,
was
forcing
his
hand
.
He
had
for
the
first
time
to
affirm
his
will
in
the
face
of
outspoken
opposition
.
"
There
was
much
talk
,
and
at
first
my
master
was
silent
,
"
Tamb
'
Itam
said
.
"
Darkness
came
,
and
then
I
lit
the
candles
on
the
long
table
.
The
chiefs
sat
on
each
side
,
and
the
lady
remained
by
my
master
's
right
hand
.
"
