those women. They were leaning
forward eagerly. Her parasol
trembled a little, knowing what
they thought. She understood
that this was her last and her only
chance to shed the outcast's cloak.
She also understood what was in
Charlie Lanchard's heart.
Tell 'em" she heard Blaine's
booming voice. Tell 'em all to
their teeth he lies!"
1t was over in an instant. A
strange smile touched her lips.
She closed her parasol with care,
letting it hang from her slim white
wrist. And in that moment of
absolute silence, she performed
the act of faith.
"Are you asking me if l. knew
that Charlie and Ludee Durani
spent the night together in our
house?" She smiled her sweet
contempt at all those gasping
women. "Yes." with utmost
clarity. "of course they did"
That was all. She watched
them brusquely order their sedan
chairs away, drowning her in their
silent scorn. Charlie Lanchard
was staring at her as if he saw her
for the very first time. And Big
Jack Blaine said nothing. He let his
fists slowly drop along his sides ..
There is very little more. Natalie
had gone to Lanchard in Singa-
pore. offering herself when he
needed her. And in Biltangi when
they asked her - because she
loved him enough - she freely
offered herself again. The four
of them were in the sailing cutter
with the white sharks head of
tabu on its bows when they towed
it through the gap in the reef to
cast them adrift without food or
water or sail. Tomini went, claim
ing his right. So did Natalie. She
insisted upon it. She left her par
asol behind her on the sand.
Red Blaine was there. He was
helpless now. He could do moth

chairs, buzzing to each other in
eager excitement.
Charles shirt was torn by now,
his sun helmet smashed. There
was blood on his face, but his lip
curled scornfully. "You think
care what those crows think?"
No. HE didn't. The crowd fell
back in a half circle at the Rajah's
commanding gesture. In the
southwest the first tongue of
lightning famed across the
heavens, and the thunder growled.
The half-dozen white women
famed themselves in the fetid air,
knowing the monsoon was about
to break. But they wouldn't have
missed this for anything! Just
what they always expected of a
beachcomber like China Mail
Charlie. Fellows like that - they
all wound up in native woman's
hut. Poor Natalie And then
she came walking in.
She was all alone. A slim girl in
a frayed dress, walking proudly.
She didn't stop when the silence
fell. She came on past row of
Malay men with her poor parasol
angled above her head. She
nodded gracefully to the women
as she passed. 1t took more cour-
age than any of them had them
selves. Then Charlie turned in
the arms of his captors. They saw
each other. In front of the dais,
she stopped. She was paler, but
her head was high.
Damn you, Blaine!' she heard
Charlie Lanchard scream. Did
you have to bring her here?"
His voice broke. Red Blaine
spoke rapidly in Malay to the
Rajah. Then he turned toward
Natalie, eyes hard and cold.
''lHls fool of yours" he said,
has got the crazy notion to save
Ludee Durani from the sacrifice
because she and Tomini are in
love. That's why he had her sleep
in your room last night. Now he's
told them a yarn he was with her
and she isn't fit for the ritual It's
a blasted lie and know it! You
know it, too! I'm damned if / stand
here and let you take dishonor. So
l brought you here. The Rajah
knows you will tell the truth in
front of the white women of the
colony. He says he will believe
you. Tell 'em, Natalie! Tell 'em
all to their teeth Lanchard lies!'
The girl went pale as death. She
kept her gentle eyes on Charlie.
She knew what would happen.
She knew it for sure. Her head
stirred. She stared straight at Red
Jack Blaine. Then her eyes went
slowly across the faces of each of

native mob. He heard the terrible
imprecations hurled in Malay. He
saw the jagged lightning tongue
ing in the sky. And he saw Charlie
Lanchard in the stern sheets,
never taking his eyes from Natalie.
That sight of him drew Red
Blaine Toward on the beach as
the cutter outside began to drift.
"Well!' he beloved to Lanch-
ard across the wine-dark water.
you've won a new command at
last" Blaine's voice was gray
with bitterness. Il hope to hell
you're fit this timew
His voice doomed loudly under
the rack of gathering storm.
Charlie Lanchard made no reply.
Out there in the drifting cutter he
just put his arm around Natalie, a
thing no one had ever seen him do
before. The Malays turned their
backs, still chanting their dreadful
curse. But Blaine remained there
on the beach, the water crawling
around his boots. He remained
there for long time, peering sea-
ward, while the lightning played
and the thunder growled. The
last thing he saw was the cutter,
adrift in outer space before the sea
went dark. Then the first squall
broke. He lost them in it. He
lost them. he was sure, for ever.
He was wrong about that. China
Mail Charlie was fit for command
again. He made some shabby sail
out of clothing and rags of canvas
he scraped up in his locker. He
made them live on fish and the
rain that fell from heaven. How he
managed it no one knows. But he
sailed nearly three hundred miles
in that open boat till he raised an
uninhabited speck of palm-fringed
land out of the deep blue sea. On
charts it is still marked Lanchard
Island. Proper that it should be.
And that's why the liner Sd1o-
ringia, making Lanchard's Light
in the chief mates watch, tosses
overheard can with Charles
mail and a two months supply of
Dutch cheroots. It's the least the
Sa1ortngia's master can do today
for Natalie. Because the island,
in his opinion. is really hers.
lHAT's why he always trains his
binoculars shoreward to Charles
jetty from the captains bridge as
his ship steams past in the clean
blue dawn. Sometimes he is lucky
enough to catch a sight of her
standing in the wind with Ludee
Durani by her side. and the cutter
on the beach half buried in the
sand. And he always pulls the
whistle lanyard down three times,
signaling his salute to Natalie.

help the Lon Constantine nro"n'
don government is not easy to
determine.
In a nutshell the situation ap-
pears to be as follows:
After the Conservative Party's
defeat at the polls in June, 1945,
the Labor Party, headed by Prime
Minister Attlee, decided to live up
to it's campaign pledges and in
augurated system of government
paternalism in Britain, which was
nowhere near self supporting. Its
policy has been to reduce workers
hours and to nationalize some OF
the most important industries.
Loan Exhausted in Year.
The new Labor government met
major difficulties within a year
after it came into Office and ap-
pealed to the American Govern
ment, which in 1916 granted a
loan of $3,750, ,OO0,0 900 to tide Brit
ain over the so-called reconstruc-
ton period. This loan was ex-
hausted within year.
The large American loan-ol
grant, as some call twas used
politically rather than economi-
cally. Britain's increased produc-
ton depended on purchases OF
raw materials and equipment
from hard currency countries. In
dustrial output had to be sold
primarily to soft currency coun-
tries because 1t was almost impos-
sible for the British to compete
in the hard currency countries
with their highly modern indus
trial technique.
Meanwhile, the British leaders
were bent on making life for the

workers as easy as possible and
instead of using the proceeds OF
the loan and Of their sales OF
products abroad for the modern
ization of industry they used them
for various paternalistic benefits.
Thus IN the coal industry the
British miner produces approx
mately one ton of coal a day.
while the American miner. thanks
to improved methods of working
and the use of machinery. pro-
duces 5 tons or more of coal a
day. The working hours for Brit
ish and American miners are the
same.
A similar situation exists in
many other industrial fields. The
socialistic paternalism which the
Labor Party has tried to intro
duce. and which has brought the
country to its present plight. can
not work unless the British gov
ernment decides to 60 totalitarian
as Germany went under Hitler.
Dependent on Imports.
Britain, which is entirely de-
pendent on imports of food -stuffs
and many raw materials, cannot
become a Socialist state without
deciding at the same time to be-
come a dictatorship. which is in
compatible with Britain's tradition
as the land where the Magma
Charta was given to the world.
With high costs of production.
short hours for workers and cur
rency artificially pegged at a rate
Of $4.03 to the pound. the British
government finds itself now in a
difficult and highly critical situa-
ton and must depend exclusively
on outside help. even for tenn
porary support.
Britain cannot continue to pur-
chase what it needs from the hard
currency countries because it lacks
both gold and dollar reserves. and
so long as the pound remains
pegged it cannot sell to the soft
currency countries because its
products are too expensive.
The members of the Western
European bloc and the American
Government are worried because
an economic catastrophe in Brit
ain will have far-reaching politi-
cal consequences throughout the
world. Some steps to relieve the
situation temporarily-a financial
shot In the arm-are expected to
be taken by the American Govern
ment. But they will be only a
short Lived palliative.
