And the baby girl, Jean Prince, was none other than the magnetic, dark-haired woman who now drove jerkline to Ragtown and numbered her admirers by the thousand Jerkline Jo, Queen of the Outland Camps. "They was three of us at first," narrated Filer in a shaky voice. "Three of us and Baby Jean. Baby Jean and me and Len Prince and 'The Chink. And that makes four.
"Now," said he, "we'll understand each other better. Ye see before you a poor gentleman of fortune, whom poverty and a roving spirit have driven to outland bits o' the earth to ply his lawful trade of sea-captain. They call me by different names. I have passed for a Dutch skipper, and a Maryland planter, and a French trader, and, in spite of my colour, I have been a Spanish don in the Main.
He was puzzled to know what purchase Jim could have with those outland folk.... And yet he had been on friendly terms with the scout he had picked up.... Another fact disturbed him. Lovelle's print had been clear enough till the other Indians joined him. The light was bad, but now that print seemed to have disappeared.
Now as for my knighthood, I do believe that I shall in time become a knight of no small worship, for I feel within my heart that this shall be so.

My hardest task was to establish some method of sending news to the outland dwellers. For this purpose I had to consort with queer folk. Shalah, who had become my second shadow, found here and there little Indian camps, from which he chose young men as messengers.
"I hesitated, and was menaced with outlawry; I armed in self-defence, and in defence of the laws of England; I armed, that men might not be murdered on their hearth-stones, nor children trampled under the hoofs of a stranger's war-steed. But when they knew my cause, and saw with me the dwellers of the land, against me the outland aliens, they righteously interposed.
They waved flags all round me till I was nearly blind: and they rang bells till I was nearly deaf: and they strewed the road so thick with flowers that I lost my way!" And the poor old man sighed deeply. "How far is it to Outland?" I asked, to change the subject. "About five days' march. But one must go back occasionally.
But those words of his came to Arnkel as a taunt, and his look at me was terrible. "Ho, men," he shouted, "will you own an outland lord?" "Aye, we will," said Gorm the Steward sturdily. "Sooner than listen to a coward and would-be murderer of women." That ended the matter.
