James Varney, a bungalow lord of a hilltop near the Tembakut River in Borneo, guides a cocoanut syndicate and shelters a tattoo artist known as Zara-Khan. Varney, thirty seven, tallying a rugged look, keeps a dog and a library of faded books as he navigates local Ti yak village life and colonial interests.
A cyclone wrecks Varney’s bungalow leaving half the crockery, a riverbound dog and a shelled structure. Zara-Khan the elusive client, and Chang the dog, feature as the storm’s aftermath unfolds amid a ruined rubber estate and a wary Varney surveying damage while a Chinaman tends an oil lamp.
