Shore Leave and the Unhappy Wife ( )

Log entry, the catch Scarlet Queen. Position, three degrees, seven minutes north, 104 degrees, two minutes east. Wind brisk sky fair.

Remarks, departed Singapore after altercation with Deputy Public Prosecutor. Reason for incident? Shore leave and the unhappy wife. It was ten days out of high fang that we rounded Point Lima. Left the China Sea a stern glowing like gold in the strong afternoon sun.

and passed through Singapore straight to find mooring at the peninsula company, Docs, just south of Raffles Key. My chief mate Gallagher and I left the ship as soon as she was secure and hailed a cab.

Hotel Metro Po, Charlie! I've been hit periodically with a feeling akin to sickness for three or four days before our Singapore arrival. And it gnawed at me more severely than ever now that I was separated from the hotel only by minutes.

Part relief, part apprehension, part disbelief that I was actually here and almost face to face with Kuji Kang. The man who'd drawn me all the way from San Francisco was ready to send me father into...

I didn't know what on the voyage of the Scarlet Queen. As we walked through the lobby of the Metropolitan, I had the feeling that I and I alone had ever been in a situation just like this.

I wondered if I looked as conspicuous as I felt, and whether the little British desk clerk caught the shake in my voice as I told him to fawn Kang's room. I wondered if he was smiling at the strain even I could feel and the way I looked at him as he came back from the switchboard. The honorable kooji Kang is in and he will see.
