First published in Thrilling Adventures, June 1940. Reprinted in the collections West from Singapore and The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour, Vol 4.
"In Makassar, a port city on the South-East coast of the island of Celebes, Ponga Jim Mayo again runs afoul of the activities of the S. S. Carlsberg, a vessel secretly supplying Nazi agents. The passengers are obviously German and Mayo is afraid that the Gestapo wants to put him out of the picture for the trouble he has already caused them. But payments on the ship are due and he needs the money. During their trip the mysterious passengers alter the destination of their cargo from Banggai to the tiny island of Tembau on the edge of the Greyhound Straight and it’s notorious port called Tukoh Bay, a resort for all the renegades in the islands."
