It was nearly dark when weweighed anchor, and left the mouth of the river. There was a tiny cabin, just large enough to hold Bertha on her mattress; a fowl-house, intowhich our native children crept; an open hold, where we women sat downon our bundles, with our children in our arms; and there was a place forcargo forward, where the men settled themselves. The Rajah in his warboat also proceeded to Linga, and we expected him to arrive long beforeour slow boat; he would meet Mr. Johnson, his neph...ew, there, andorganize a force of Dyaks from the great rivers, Sakarran and BatangLupar, to drive away the Chinese rebels. We never had any doubt of theirdoing this eventually, though we feared the remedy might be almost asbad as the disease, if the Dyaks proved unmanageable and quarrelled withone another. The night was very dark and wet, and the deck leaked uponus, so that we and our bags and bundles were soon wet through. But weneither heeded the rain nor felt the cold. We had eaten nothing sinceearly morning, but were not hungry; and although for several nights wecould scarcely be said to have slept, we were not sleepy.
