The
map
in
Lincoln
Ngoma
's
office
was
far
from
the
model
of
neat
precision
of
the
one
in
Ching
's
Shanghai
dominion
.
The
boundaries
of
Ngoma
's
Tropic
Region
were
stencilled
in
dark
,
wide
brown
and
swept
about
a
gorgeous
interior
labelled
"
jungle
"
and
"
desert
"
and
"
here
be
Elephants
and
all
Manner
of
Strange
Beasts
.
"
It
had
much
to
sweep
,
for
in
land
area
the
Tropic
Region
enclosed
most
of
two
continents
:
all
of
South
America
north
of
Argentina
and
all
of
Africa
south
of
the
Atlas
.
It
included
North
America
south
of
the
Rio
Grande
as
well
,
and
even
Arabia
and
Iran
in
Asia
.
It
was
the
reverse
of
the
Eastern
Region
.
Where
the
ant
hives
of
the
Orient
crowded
half
of
humanity
into
15
per
cent
of
the
land
mass
,
the
Tropics
stretched
its
15
per
cent
of
Humanity
over
nearly
half
of
all
the
land
in
the
world
.
But
it
was
growing
.
It
was
the
one
Region
whose
population
increase
through
immigration
exceeded
that
through
births
.
-
And
for
all
who
came
it
had
use
.
To
Ngoma
,
Stephen
Byerley
seemed
like
one
of
these
immigrants
,
a
pale
searcher
for
the
creative
work
of
carving
a
harsh
environment
into
the
softness
necessary
for
man
,
and
he
felt
some
of
that
automatic
contempt
of
the
strong
man
born
to
the
strong
Tropics
for
the
unfortunate
pallards
of
the
colder
suns
.
