drowned, I never doubted the truth
OF it. 1t all seemed so final and
complete. The searching party
brought back word they had found
his camp, his medical instruments
-even his sun helmet. But months
later I heard of a Portuguese mis-
sionary who had been sick with
tropical fever near the big swamp
that borders the Blacklands. He
said that for two days a doctor,
either British or American, had
taken care of him. The doctor only
came after nightfall; he spoke
very little, and as soon as the
fever dropped, he went away. But
the missionary said there was 9
bloodstone ring on the doctor
right hand"
Janet looked up into Cliffs at
tentive face. II knew that ring,
Cliff gave it to Father. That
same day / went to Washington
and begged for a visa to New
Dixie. I pulled every wire-for
weeks I almost lived at the State
Department-but they told me that
because of unsettled conditions
here no one could have a visa ex-
