Calamity Jane 10

by J. T. Edson

  52 Captain Patrick Reeder had not visited Japan at the period of this narrative. The unarmed combat techniques he employed were based upon a pentjak-silat system he had been taught while living in the East Indies.

  53 The invasion never took place. On being informed of “Father Matthew Devlin’s” letter of betrayal to the Governor of Canada, Colonel George W. French, q.v. notified General Philo Handiman, with whom he maintained a good relationship. Visiting several prominent politicians who were involved, the General used the letter to show them that they were being manipulated by the anarchists. In turn, they persuaded their followers that the scheme was ill-advised and it was abandoned.
