And so they did, and the truest of friends, when they did not quarrel, though really their squabbles only cemented their friends.h.i.+p the stronger.

They both visited Mr and Mrs Frank Murray at their pretty bungalow at Parang, where Rachel was settled down so long as her father retained his post at the residency; but their most enjoyable visits were, as years went by, to their friend the sultan, who was fast improving the country, and encouraging his people to become more commercial, in place of the arrant pirates they had been. For in a very short time in the settlement of the country under British protection, the rank of sultan had been offered to the Tumongong, who refused it in favour of his son Ali, and this was ratified by the Governor of the Straits--Sultan Hamet dying a victim to excess, and the piratical Rajah Gantang of his wounds.

Which was, so said old d.i.c.k in confidence to the two young officers, "a blessing to everybody consarned, for that there Rajah Gantang was about the wussest n.i.g.g.e.r as ever suffered from the want of soap."

The last the writer heard of d.i.c.k was, that he was the oldest boatswain in the service, and that he was on board that rapid gunboat the "Peregrine," commanded by Lieutenant Robert Roberts, RN.

It need only be added that Captain Smithers got over his disappointment, and two years later married Mary Sinclair, who makes him an excellent wife. So that none of those concerned had cause to regret the trip up the Malay river in HMS "Startler."

THE END.
