He stood silent and preoccupied for a moment, and then, putting his thoughts into words, without addressing them to anybody: "Ayupee!" he said reflectively; "Pohon-Upas, Antjar, Galanga root, Ginger and Black Pepper that's the Javanese method of procedure, I believe. Ayupee! yes, assuredly, Ayupee!" "What the dickens are you talking about, Cleek?
Well, I wanted to know who had succeeded in getting Ayupee into this country and into this house. Last night I drugged every man in it, and I found out." "But how?" "By finding the one who could not sleep stretched out at full length. One of the strongest symptoms of Bright's disease is a tendency to draw the knees up close to the body in sleep. Captain, and to twist the arms above the head.
And what does all that gibberish and that word 'Ayupee' mean?" "Nothing nothing. At least, just yet. I say, put on your hat and let's go for a pull on the river, Mr. Narkom. I've had enough of mysteries for to-day and am spoiling for another hour in a boat." Then he screwed round on his heel and walked out into the brilliant summer sunshine.

"You can kill a man with strychnine; you can put him in his grave with arsenic; you can also use both these powerful agents to cure and to save, in their proper proportions and in the proper way.
