You put on your cap, and you cover all your responsibilities. What about the women, high and low, that we have to look after?" "Oh, they'd be all right, sir." "Would they?" "I say, Doctor, don't talk like that. You don't think that we have anything to fear?" "I don't know. Well, fear? No, I suppose I mustn't mention such a thing as fear; but we are hundreds of miles away from Singapore and help."
He promised to be on the look-out for us as he was trading to and fro during the next year or two, for my uncle assured him that we should be about that time among the islands, and with the promise to meet us here in a year's time if we did not meet before, and to come from Singapore provided with plenty of powder and shot for our use, and ready to take back any cases of specimens we might have ready, he parted from us with the grave courtesy of a Mohammedan gentleman.
Coffin is dead these ten years. When I heard he was drowned off there in Singapore, all I could say was: 'Serve him right! And I say it now. I come home then more determined to get you. Say yes, and let's be happy. Do!" "I can't, Nat." "Why not? For Heaven sakes! why not? Don't you care for me? You've let me think well, at any rate, I have thought you did. You used to. Don't you?"
She might have said to Mars. "You? To Singapore?" "To the East generally. To Bombay, to Rangoon, to Singapore. For about a year." He was all aback. "For about a year? Rosalie, I can't Why on earth ?" She did not like this. The great scheme! Her special mission! It necessitated.... Here was the necessity at which she had checked but confidently ridden on, and Harry was pulled right up by it.
England here supports a garrison of from four to six thousand men at a vast expense, but it is undoubtedly quite necessary for her to do so, as it is also important to keep a well-organized garrison at Aden, Prim, Singapore, and Ceylon. The highway to her possessions in India is too important to trust in other hands.
Most of the moisture is deposited on the mountain-tops, and the clouds sweep over it. And now for Singapore, God willing.
"I should explain," he went on, very quietly, "that Gallon was not one of our original party. We had come down to Colombo from Mongolia, going by the Pekin Hankow and the Nippon Yushen Keisha." "That, I suppose, is the best way?" I said. "Yes. And oddly enough but for the accident of Gallon joining us, we should have gone by the Amoy, Cochin, Singapore route, which was our first plan.
Fogg had an abominable way of jumping from one boat to another, and, before anything could be effected, might get full under weigh again for Yokohama. Fix decided that he must warn the English authorities, and signal the Rangoon before her arrival. This was easy to do, since the steamer stopped at Singapore, where there is a telegraphic wire to Hong Kong.
The recent discovery of extensive veins of coal on the banks of the river of Borneo Proper, is my chief reason for calling public attention to the north-western coast of that island. The destruction by fire of the British ship Sultana, on her voyage from Bombay to China, and the subsequent imprisonment of Capt. The Singapore Government, on hearing of Capt.
In fact, the greater portion of our cotton manufactures sold at Singapore is consumed in the less civilized parts of the Indian Archipelago, where the natives prefer cheap goods and gaudy patterns; while the people of Java, Celebes, etc. prefer their own or Indian manufactures, which, although dearer, are far more durable than ours.
