Cilt 190 sayfalar
A Galahad of the Creeks is about Peregrine Jackson and the young Englishman's exploration across Burma. Excerpt: «You're Jackson, I suppose? I'm Hawkshaw.» The two men shook hands and looked each other straight in the face. Each saw the other's strength. Later on, they noticed the loose rivets in each other's mail. After a few moments spent in desultory conversation, during which Jackson heard and replied to the usual question of how he liked the country, the two prepared to leave the ship, and Peregrine sought the skipper to say adieu. «Goodbye, captain.» «Good-bye. The next time you come with me I'll have the ngape all ready for you.»
