"I'd know her in a million!" vowed Saunders. "I can take oath she hasn't gone anywhere by train! Unless she has walked, or taken a carriage, she's in Delhi!" The engine gave a preliminary shriek and the giant Ismail nudged King's elbow in impatient warning. There was no more sign of Rewa Gunga, who had evidently settled down in his compartment for the night. "Get my bag out again!"
At Rewa a mission had been established, but its chief Ratu Nggara remained a heathen, and was a powerful rival of Thakombau. Some time after the establishment of the missions at Viwa, Namosi its chief became a Christian; and as visitors from Mbau and other places visited the mission-house, the knowledge of the new faith spread in every direction around.
I recognized Yasmini's scent on your envelope. It's peculiar to her one of her monopolies!" "No. I'm told she went North yesterday." "Not by train, she didn't! It's my business to know that!" King did not answer; nor did he look surprised. He was watching Rewa Gunga, followed by a servant, hurrying to a reserved compartment at the front end of the train. The Rangar waved to him and he waved back.
I left early next morning in the pouring rain, and found as I passed through Serea that it was quite a town. We soon joined another river which, together with the Wainimala, formed the Rewa, the largest river in Fiji.
So it was now that they heard a staccato cannonade not very loud yet, but so quick, so pulsating, so filling to the ears that be could judge nothing about the sound at all, except that whatever caused it must be round a corner out of sight. At first, for a few minutes King suspected it was Rewa Gunga's mare, galloping over hard rock away ahead of him. Then he knew it was a horse approaching.
And because for their thunder there was no more chance of being heard, she dropped from the shield like a blossom. No sound of falling could have been heard in all that din, but one could see she made no sound. The shield-bearers ran back to the bridge and stood below it, eyes agape. Rewa Gunga spoke truth in Delhi when he assured King he should some day wonder at Yasmini's dancing.
Below, to left and right, was pit-mouth gloom, shadows amid shadows, full of eerie whisperings, and King felt the short hair on his neck begin to rise. So he urged his horse forward, because what Rewa Gunga said is true. There is only one surer key to trouble in the Khyber than to seem afraid and that is to be afraid.
Everybody knows that the British will not govern India forever, but the British who know it best of all, and work to that end most fervently are the only ones encouraged to talk about it. For a few minutes after that Rewa Gunga held his peace, while the carriage swayed at breakneck speed through the swarming streets.
Thus were two centres formed in Fiji, where two men single-handed battled with almost incredible difficulties, cheered, however, by no inconsiderable success, that is to say, Mr Cargill at Lakemba, and Mr Cross at Rewa. "In 1838 three missionaries arrived from England.
Sent Rewa Gunga round to me with orders to make sure I don't change my mind about you! What have you done to her bewitched her?" "Done nothing," said King. "Well, keep on doing nothing in the same style and the world shall render you its best jobs, one after the other, in sequence! You've made a good beginning!" "Know anything of Rewa Gunga, sir?" "Nothing, except that he's her man.
