river roadstead off Rangoon; and with
in the ensuing hour her passengers
had deserted her, De Hyeres and Miss
Pynsent in their van, ORourke among
the last to leave. And nothing him
dered him, not the least hitch delayed
his Decentralization. It was curious,
it was incredible. 1t was disturbing.
He took away with him no ease of

CHAPTER XXX.


Back in his stateroom on the Poo
nah, ORourke threw himself into the
lower berth and lay there, a forearm
flung across his eyes, thinking ex-
citedly, disturbed by formless fore
bodings.
Beside him Danny was packing in
dustriously, with now and again a
pause during which he would stand
reflective. his gaze fixed upon his EN-.
ployer's face. little puzzled and per-
picked.
The Poonah was pausing overnight
to discharge and take aboard cargo:
for this reason C'Rourke in his haste
to get ashore had not delayed to take
his luggage with him. On
deck, fore and aft donkey engines
were putting and chugging and chain
tackles rafting as they lifted freight
to and from the hold and the lighters
alongside.
Abruptly, without moving, O'Rourke
spoke. I'll want evening clothes,
