According to the book the councillors. who
wanted to do the worst they could to Scotty
legally, voted to turn him over to the Ameri-
can punishment worse than death" There
fore the others were able to pick hin. up a
couple of days later from the opposite side Of
the island and get away.
Scotty's next chance to distinguish himself
came on board small nter-island tramp
ship the Faraon which was taking the expe-
dition from Sitankha to Bungao. The Faraon,
which had seen her best days, burst one of her
two aged cylinders actually in sight of their
destination and started to drift in the strong
current toward the Celebes Sea
Besides the members of the expedition.
there were a couple of half-caste business
men. the crew and other passengers all Moros
and one Datu. or local chieftain.
The old tubs schedule was uncertain and
she would hardly be missed for weeks. There
happened to be an abundance of food on
board. but scarcely any water To make the
situation more interesting passengers and
crew revolted at the idea of having their
drinking water rationed.
The expedition had to brandsh firearms in
order to quell the mutiny. This an adven-
ture about which something would have to be
done. if the adventures were to survive.
The best hope seemed to be to send one
of the ships hfeboats in an attempt to reach
Bangao and get the constabulary launch to
rescue them.
The boat would contain native oarsmen
and one white steersman, but nice question
of adventures ethics arose. The white man
who went along would, doubt be able to
save himself even if he failed to save those
left on board the Faraon. Griswold says that
he Hardness and Sonny all chivalrously de-
elined the job for that reason but the book
alleges that Scotty was agreeable.
The boat rowed vigorously away and all
day they waited. At dusk, when it should have
been in Bongao, they saw it returning instead.
The book thus describes their surprise:

which he says is all wrong:
"Scotty had been quiet for so long that we
should have been suspicious Outside of kill
ing a few tame chickens with Sonnys shot
gun, for which we had to pay, he had behaved
himself marvellousy Or. so we thought.
However the day before we planned to
leave, we were disillusioned. Scotty had been
looking out of the window of the school
house when he suddenly bolted for the door
and vanished into the Jungle Staring after
him we saw a group of councillors walking
toward us. 1 went to meet them and saw that
each was fully armed and not with ceremonial
weapons
They saluted me gravey and asked per-
mission to speak. With them was the school
teacher and he was not at all calm; he was
weeping with rage.
The eldest councillor stood forth from the
others and assumed the role of spokesman He
said. dispassionatey enough, that Scotty had
violated the honor of the schoolmaster by at

when's the launch coming?' I repeated
in shrek.
"Aw,' said Scotty, I guess they won't
come at all. We got tired rowing and decided
to drift back

Captain Tate admits that he is Scotch
man who has always been known by this
nickname. and says that everyone identified
him as that character in the book He is
panied by several unheroic entrances and
exits. such as the following which he quotes
from the book:
The next day Sonny and Scotty arrived
about noon both looking little haggard and
glad TO get rid of the cumpit a small doryl
They had negotiated the Straits. we had

me to speak.
Il told them that we would not attempt
to hinder them in dealing out punishment.
Equally we would not assist them in finding
Scotty. They were very courteous. II was

they intended to do. The councillor assured
us that he did not hold us responsible as
