SYNOPSIS

THE Captain of the "Mary Ann"
tells the tale of how his mate,
Bill Corkey, meets a Ternate
dancing girl who gives him a map
revealing the hiding place of the
fabulous Emerald q d d h a in
Angkor Wat, a carved idol sought
BY the pirate, Sin Kew. They es-
oape from Sin kew's men to sail
for Saigon. Word Of their arrival
has come by fast junk, and
Frenchman meets them at the
dock. They visit Hui Doom,
money lender, who owes his life
to the Captain, and promises his
help. Hull Doon's granddaughter
serves rice wine, and later the
two men take room at the
Hotel Continent, where they bathe
and rest. Returning to Hui
Doon's, they find a pack horse,
fresh clothes, food and rifle ready
for them--and a cooIie guide to
take them through the jungle
northward toward Anekor Wat.
The money lender gives them a
message for Ii, a Buddhist priest
living near the ruined khmer
temples.

green god, it might explain
things. Young Bill, for one. He'd
been lookin' at our coolie from
the corner of his eye. In that
dark tangle of forest he couldn't
see the boy very clear; we did
well to see few feet ahead.
Now an then the sun got through
in early morning when we slept,
but mostly neither sun nor moon
did any good. 1t was dark. The
trail we stumbled along was soft
an wet, unpleasant footing for
sailors used to a hard deck. You
didn't complain, but you couldn't
cheer.

thing, I saw him get more curious
about Gin.
We went slowly, too slow to
suit me. The horse got tired in
the heat, I guessed; then l won

guide who kept the pace to what
a snail could do. l wasn't for
gettin' the money lender had sup

askin'. l wasn't afraid, just puz-

throats cut, for the boy carried
no knife, at least none that

Corkey guessed somethin' l hadn't
seen.
Seemed like we'd keep on for
ever. The Jungle got no thinner,
and my temper didn't improve
any. You get tired of rice, an
plenty sick of strollin' between
moss-coated trees that haven't

Chapter S

40, Our friend Sin Kew had
IN special plans for us at the
end of the trail. He'd gone to a
lot of trouble in Ternate and
Saigon to get Bills parchment
map, and the pirate was the kind
tc finish what he'd begun. At
Angkor he'd have time to prepare
a welcome, even wait until we'd
located the sealed room. It would
be easier for him, that way. When
thought about it, nothing could
be wiser for Sin kew-just to let
us go ahead and do the work,
while he waited.
There was time to think, to
wonder about Sin Kew and his
odd determination about a carved
bit of emerald he couldn't prove
existed. The hot breath of the
jungle clung to us as we pushed
ahead; thick roof of branches
and twisting lianas hung over us
day and night. The forest was
an unfriendly place, mostly 81

and gibbons coming to life, chat
tering at us. Gloomy and dark, it

his small hand caught my arm.
Pause, please. We are here"
His husky voice called to bill.
I'VE shall stop, please"
Bill swung round, sweating; he
was willing to stop.
What for?"
l couldn't tell him, and looked
down at Gins face. The mouth
was drawn up, figuring some
thing. He waved us back, and
moved up in front of Bill.
Lii is near, where we stay. You
will await me. This bonse does
not like strangers" Hui Gin
stepped around a coco palm and
disappeared into the damp wall
of jungle. We heard soft foot
steps, then nothing. Our talk had
walked a gibbon overhead, and
the beast chartered at us.
Guess we're deserted" l said.
Not that" Bill muttered. "but
there's somethin' unnatural about
that coolie."
Such as what, Bill? I've seen
you watchin' him."
TOO quiet, doesn't want to
talk. Just eats an sleeps an
walks quiet-lilSe through this
cursed forest. Why"
But the guide had come back
noiselessly.
"CoME with me, please. Lii is
- waiting"
Twenty yards around that COCO
palm we saw a torch set over a
rock grotto. Beside the orange
flame an ugly lookin' carved
snakes head hung down, an the
waving fire tossed long shadows
of it sideways into the trees. We
didn't see any bonse

Gin, going under the blazin'

was clear. You could see clear
across the length of the place,
near to eighty feet. The floor was
smooth, with slabs of red sand
stone laid close together. Across
the space sat a great Buddha,
reaching to the ceiling where it's
head was almost lost in the
gloom. 1t looked down on us,
with arms folded peacefully, a
half smile on it's big face. Around
it fiickered fat wax candles, CIV
ing more light than any candles
I'd seen. 1 caught the odor of
heavy incense like crushed Chi
nese orchids drifting from a round
brass bowl beside the statue.
A young bonse in a yellow silk
robe stood before the Buddha, fac.
ing us.
Iii" Hull Gin murmered, II
have brought them"
The Chinese didn't say any,

hands in welcome. He smiled at
us. His eyes were deep in a face
unlined, calm as the statue above
him.
Talking didn't appear to be
called for, so I held out Hull

Not without light" Bill looked
up at the snakes head, saw it
wasn't anything but curling stone,
an pulled down the flarin' torch.
1t sputtered in his hand and threw
sparks around. Take it, Captain
I'll bring the horse and Hull
Gim."
Holding it high, led the way
into the strangest place we'd
stumbled on. The smell got worse.
Parts of the torch burned off and
splashed to the wet ground; it
wouldn't last long, so we hurried
down the long passage. When
you hurry, it's hard to see much
but each side of that tunnel
was cut deep with scrolls and pic
ture writing, worn an polished by
weather, some of it glazed dark
red.
THEN the tiger smell faded. We
came out into high ceilinged
room. 1t was odd, but there
seemed to be two layers of air,
one high overhead very dense;
you could see sharp rocks jut-
ting down through it, not carved,
but the natural formation of the
erotto. Where we walked, the air

interest," didn't like to believe
it-could be a mask for deeper
motives. My friend because of

pirate which must be paid?
If that was so, and old Hull

came out and he took the slip of
paper with Chinese characters.
Hui Doom asks that I tell you
of the Emerald Buddha," he said
musically. The voice was low,
clear,-like bells tn a tinkle
when you strike the rim of wine
glass. His hands clapped, and
servant came to lead the fright
ened horse away.
"Sit and rest" he said. You
shall refresh yourselves, then you
may listen"
A MOTHER servant brought
~ wooden bowls of rice, and
we sat in a half circle before
that young priest and dipped into
the warm food. l was plenty
tired of rice, but hungry enough
not to object.
Lii did not move. He looked
small beside his Buddha that al
most disappeared into the dark
roof, but he was a tall Chinese
inches bigger than Bill Corkey,
who was over six feet.
Were listenin'," Bill sug-
gested. wiping his mouth and set
ting down an empty bowl. You
seem to know what we're after,
so go ahead an try to make us
quit"
That wasn't any way to talk
to a priest, but Bill was right. We
couldn't help it, but too many
people knew our business. I be-
gan to wonder if the whole world
didn't know more of it than we
did. The news had travelled from
Ternate to the edge of jungle
where the Tonle Sap Lake began,
to Buddhist priests temple. A
l sat between Bill and Huii|
Gin. The guides arm pressed
against me. 1t was trembling. I
looked at the bonse, and saw our
tiger rubbing himself against the
priest. I breathed deep, kept my
eyes on the animal, wonderin' if
it was incense that made me see
things. No, there the beast stood,
startin' to purr as the bonse's
hand scratched a big furry ear.
DILL closed his eyes. TITS not
p true, I don't believe it," he
said to himself. His eyes open,
and the striped cats still there.
II never thought to see such a
thing" Bill muttered. rubbing
hand across his face. ...
The cat rubbed himself some
more, then sat down beside the
bonse, sleepy an contented. He
looked us over, green eyes blinkin'
in the candle light, an seemed to
decide we wouldn't harm his mas
ter. -.
