A METHODIST'S MADNESS,

FAKE STORY OF SINGAPORE MUTINY.

Says the Singapore Free Press: The Wide World Magazine for June sustains ita de Rougemont reputation by a story entitled Amat Sik, hero of the Singapore Mutiny, by R. R Hornbeck, of Singapore.. This talented romanticist is in the directory 3s the manager of the Methodis: Publishing House Book Store in 1914, so that he had an opportunity of knowing some of the facts of the Mutiny. In fact, he writes at the commencement of his article: I was in Singapore at the time

like the Mutiny and,

all other white men here, took an active part in suppressing it." That an nouncement is a tactical error. A story teller who bases his romance an facts, should not, as a matter of fact, be a "story" teller, he should confine himself to the truth and not distort it as Mr. Hornbeck, for instance, has done in saying that the mutineers were mostly Sikhs, or in

closed in on the terror strickeri civilians"-thus fouling his own nest. The illustrator.of the "story" bas also had to exercise imagination, and has played up to his writer in the dense tropical jungle, the poisonous vines, the huge cobra coiled up near a big tree, and the binding of the willing captive with "sharp withies of tough lalang grass" that cut into the wrists and ankles and were only loosened by Amat Sik's cleverness. in moistening them with his. own blood.

the end Amat captured nineteen of the mutineers single handed, handed them over to the French troops and accompanied them to the Armoury, where thaving previously gone to his. house and secured a kris which he slipped inside his shirt) he succeeded in persuading a weary Volunteer to yieid up to him a post as guard and thereupon killed the chief of the Mutineers as he lay asleep in the Armoury, awaiting shooting at sunrise. Again by his guile he per- suaded a soldier who was watching beside the dead body of Amat Sik's Tuan, for whose sake he did these doughty deeds.. to give up his post, and Amat finished the weary vigil by driving the kris deep into his own breast. "The Mohame dan driver who had brought in nine- teen mutineers single handed was given scant notice in the local papers. for it.was ascertained that he had foully murdered the leader of the mutiny on the night before the Sepoy was to be executed by legal process of law." Werather like that "legal pro- cess of law." Mr. Hornbeck cannot complain hereafter of sharing the unmerited fate of his hero by being given scant notice in the local papers.
