During your delirium your ravings were, for the most part, quite incoherent, but there was one name that you repeated many times a woman's name, preceded by a number. It was 'Nine ninety nine Priscilla. Maybe she " But Virginia got no further. With a low exclamation of delight Bulan caught her in his arms. "It is all right, dear," he cried. "It is all right. Everything has come back to me now.
"What are you doing?" cried Bulan. "Leave them alone. They have not offered to harm us." "They are like us," replied Number Three. "They must be our own people. I am going with them." "And I," said Number Ten. "And I," echoed Number Twelve.
The Dyaks would gladly have retreated after the first surprise of their initial attack, but Bulan urged his men on after them, and so they were forced to fight to preserve their lives at all. At last five of them managed to escape into the jungle, but fifteen remained quietly upon the earth where they had fallen the victims of their own over confidence.
The Resident hastened after the Tinjars, threw himself before them, and appealed and threatened, pointing to the two guns at the fort now trained upon them; and Tama Bulan showed his true greatness by haranguing his people, saying his wound was purely accidental and unintended, that it was a mere scratch, and commanding them to stand their ground.
And all the night Bulan stood close beside the woman he had learned to love stood almost naked in the chill night air and the cold rain, lest some savage man or beast creep out of the darkness after her while he slept. The next day with its night, and the next, and the next were but repetitions of the first. It had become an agony of suffering for the man to fight off sleep longer.
He tried to form the bitter, galling words; but a vision of that lovely face suddenly transformed with horror and disgust throttled the name in his throat. "I am Bulan," he said, at last, quietly. "Bulan," repeated the girl. "Bulan. Why that is a native name. You are either an Englishman or an American. What is your true name?" "My name is Bulan," he insisted doggedly.
The front and sides of the thigh in highclass women will be covered with three or more strips of pattern such as are shown on Pl. 138, Figs. 4 and 5; in the latter TUSHUN TUVA, DULANG HAROK, ULU TINGGANG and BELILING BULAN can again be recognised; the ULU TINGGANG in this example are less conventionalised than in the spirals of the forearm pattern, and a spiral form of TUSHUN TUVA IS shown in addition to the angular form.
By signs they made known to Bulan that they did not agree upon the right course to pursue from there on, and that they had decided that it would be best for each to advance a little way in the direction he thought the right one while Bulan and his five creatures remained where they were.
"He used that upon them?" cried the girl in horror. "It was the only way," said Bulan. "They were almost brainless they could understand nothing else, for they could not reason." Virginia shuddered. "Where are they now the balance of them?" she asked. "They are dead, poor things," he replied, sadly.
With all the sorrow that was his, Bulan could scarce repress a smile, for it was quite evident either that it was impossible to perceive a soul, or else that he possessed one. "Just how do you distinguish the possessor of a soul?" he asked. The girl cast a quick glance up at him. "You are making fun of me," she said. "Not at all," he replied.
