At last the rains came to the valley

hours beside his sluicegate watching
for q rise In the river, but 1t did not
come. The torrent Of rain was local
and he remembered that Lieber had
told him that the foods-the great
foods-came from hundreds Of miles
up the river and generally under a
brazen sky. Night, black night, had
fallen with the rain and he was just
turning to seek shelter from the un-
broken downpour when a voice raised
in song reached his ears. He waited.
The voice drew nearer. In q nasal
tone, which somehow sounded familiar
though 1t was unknown to him, 1t was
chanting a long string of doggerel end
ing In an u%nvarying refrain. Finally
Gerry could make out the long-drawn
tail-end of the song: comm down the

their way through puddles with fnick-
ing little steps. He felt a shadow in
the darkness and could Just see above
1t a blur of yellow. Behind 1t, more
shadows. On an impulse he did not
stop to measure, he shouted in English,

Gerry found the little cavalcade
waiting for him. six pack-mules, a ma

the outfit as carefully as the darkness

features and deep-set Eyes were lit up
by the moonlight and seemed scarcely

added, "the daylight always beats you
