Had not the Hollander again beaten him at the post, and that Hollander Lysbeth's own son by another father helped to it by her son born of himself, who now lay there death-stricken by him that gave him life. . . . They would take him to Lysbeth, he knew it; she would be his judge, that woman against whom he had piled up injury after injury, whom, even when she seemed to be in his power, he had feared more than any living being. . . . And after he had met her eyes for the last time, then would come the end.
A little further on the ticket collector came to join in the conversation. He was a Hollander, and very eloquent. 'Why should you English take this country away from us? he asked, and the silent Boer chimed in broken English. 'Are not our farms our own? Why must we fight for them? I endeavoured to explain the ground of our quarrel. 'After all British government is not a tyranny.

Jerry Rolfe appeared surprised, and in a measure chagrined, to find that the second mate had not yet asked leave to go ashore. His opinion of the big Hollander was an open secret in the ship. It was easy to see that the total destruction of the Barang and her people would have better fitted in with that opinion than the safe and expert passage of the tortuous river to a snug berth.
A few years later a daring Hollander was to demonstrate the futility of this theory, and to give his own name to a broader pathway, while the stormy headland of South America, around which the great current of universal commerce was thenceforth to sweep, was baptized by the name of the tranquil town in West Friesland where most of his ship's company were born.
