I thought this film was great. The plot and suspense are outstanding. A gripping tale. Some things that may seem like plot holes, like how the police officer leaves his weapon in the car with 2 suspects, and easily believes the story may actually be a commentary on the police force in African countries. I felt that.I like that the parable of the scorpion and the frog panned out at the end; he ended up being the frog that carried a scorpion. That the old man is probably serially killing the villagers who burned down his house is also aces.Probably takes an African mind to get some of these plot lines.Some slow acting at the start but quickly picked up pace. And the way you keep wondering about the yellow jumper, where the girl is, why the flash back is the guy's right hand and it is the left that us bandaged. And how it is all explained when he's in the bathroom and looks in the mirror and asks what he did to himself. Just awesome!Overall a yes; a worth it watch for lovers of thrillers, mysteries, a bit of gore and hidden meanings.

There were trodden places, bent and broken blades of the coarse grass, and ever and again the sufficient intimation of a footmark. And once the leader saw a brown smear of blood where the half-caste girl may have trod. And at that under his breath he cursed her for a fool.
Three rough days in June had been succeeded by one calm and peaceful one. There was not a breath of air that evening. The sun sank down in the west behind a line of purple clouds, and the smooth surface of the bay was gashed with scarlet streaks. Along the beach the pools left by the tide showed up like gouts of blood against the yellow sand, as if some wounded giant had toilfully passed that way, and had left these red traces of his grievous hurt behind him. As the darkness closed in, certain ragged clouds which had lain low on the eastern horizon coalesced and formed a great irregular cumulus. The glass was still low, and I knew that there was mischief brewing. About nine o'clock a dull moaning sound came up from the sea, as from a creature who, much harassed, learns that the hour of suffering has come round again. At ten a sharp breeze sprang up from the eastward. At eleven it had increased to a gale, and by midnight the most furious storm was raging which I ever remember upon that weather-beaten coast.
He gazed at me for a moment as if hardly able to realise what I said, and then, with a wild cry, he ran away from me with prodigious speed and raced along the sands towards my house. Never before or since have I seen a human being run so fast. I followed as rapidly as I could, furious at this threatened invasion, but long before I reached the house he had disappeared through the open door. I heard a great scream from the inside, and, as I came nearer, the sound of a man's bass voice speaking rapidly and loudly. When I looked, in the girl Sophie Ramusine was crouching in a corner, cowering away, with fear and loathing expressed on her averted face and in every line of her shrinking form. The other, with his dark eyes flashing, and his outstretched hands quivering with emotion, was pouring forth a torrent of passionate, pleading words. He made a step forward to her as I entered, but she writhed still further away, and uttered a sharp cry like that of a rabbit when the weasel has him by the throat.
For a month or more after this things went smoothly with us. I never spoke to the Russian girl, nor did she ever address me. Sometimes when I was at work in my laboratory she would slip inside the door and sit silently there watching me with her great eyes. At first this intrusion annoyed me, but by degrees, finding that she made no attempt to distract my attention, I suffered her to remain. Encouraged by this concession, she gradually came to move the stool on which she sat nearer and nearer to my table, until, after gaining a little every day during some weeks, she at last worked her way right up to me, and used to perch herself beside me whenever I worked. In this position she used, still without ever obtruding her presence in any way, to make herself very useful by holding my pens, test-tubes, bottles, etc., and handing me whatever I wanted, with never-failing sagacity. By ignoring the fact of her being a human being, and looking upon her as a useful automatic machine, I accustomed myself to her presence so far as to miss her on the few occasions when she was not at her post. I have a habit of talking aloud to myself at times when I work, so as to fix my results better in my mind. The girl must have had a surprising memory for sounds, for she could always repeat the words which I let fall in this way, without, of course, understanding in the least what they meant. I have often been amused at hearing her discharge a volley of chemical equations and algebraic symbols at old Madge, and then burst into a ringing laugh when the crone would shake her head, under the impression, no doubt, that she was being addressed in Russian.
For a long time after this my life was as regular and as monotonous as it had been before the shipwreck. At times I hoped that the man from Archangel had gone away altogether, but certain footsteps which I saw upon the sand, and more particularly a little pile of cigarette ash which I found one day behind a hillock from which a view of the house might be obtained, warned me that, though invisible, he was still in the vicinity. My relations with the Russian girl remained the same as before. Old Madge had been somewhat jealous of her presence at first, and seemed to fear that what little authority she had would be taken away from her. By degrees, however, as she came to realise my utter indifference, she became reconciled to the situation, and, as I have said before, profited by it, as our visitor performed much of the domestic work.
He came back. When the grey light of morning spread over the eastern sky and lit up the great waste of yellow, tossing waters, with the brown clouds drifting swiftly over them, then I saw him once again. A few hundred yards off along the sand there lay a long dark object, cast up by the fury of the waves. It was my boat, much shattered and splintered. A little further on, a vague, shapeless something was washing to and fro in the shallow water, all mixed with shingle and with seaweed. I saw at a glance that it was the Russian, face downwards and dead. I rushed into the water and dragged him up on to the beach. It was only when I turned him over that I discovered that she was beneath him, his dead arms encircling her, his mangled body still intervening between her and the fury of the storm. It seemed that the fierce German Sea might beat the life from him, but with all its strength it was unable to tear this one-idea'd man from the woman whom he loved. There were signs which led me to believe that during that awful night the woman's fickle mind had come at last to learn the worth of the true heart and strong arm which struggled for her and guarded her so tenderly. Why else should her little head be nestling so lovingly on his broad breast, while her yellow hair entwined itself with his flowing beard? Why, too, should there be that bright smile of ineffable happiness and triumph, which death itself had not had power to banish from his dusky face? I fancy that death had been brighter to him than life had ever been.
Madge and I buried them there on the shores of the desolate northern sea. They lie in one grave deep down beneath the yellow sand. Strange things may happen in the world around them. Empires may rise and may fall, dynasties may perish, great wars may come and go, but, heedless of it all, those two shall embrace each other for ever and aye in their lonely shrine by the side of the sounding ocean. I sometimes have thought that their spirits flit like shadowy sea-mews over the wild waters of the bay. No cross or symbol marks their resting-place, but old Madge puts wild flowers upon it at times; and when I pass on my daily walk and see the fresh blossoms scattered over the sand, I think of the strange couple who came from afar and broke for a little space the dull tenor of my sombre life.

There's noneed to argue about it.Every man and womanblessed with a goodmother knows it's trueand knows why it's true.It doesn't take a veryold child to understand,either.But, since human nature is humannature, every day isn't observed asMother's Day. There is all the morereason, therefore, for observing thesecond Sunday in May May 14, thisyear with a real celebration. Someone has tried to figure out a real celebration after this fashion for sons:Wear a flower in mother's honora white one if mother is dead; a colored flower for a living mother.Send mother a box of spring flowers.Write her a letter a long one.Give mother a whole day of yourtime for that "good visit" she longsfor.Send mother your picture, and snapshots of your home, your children,your work.Tell mother, your plans and ambitions she made them possible.Tell mother your smaller troublesshe wants to help you.Thank mother for her care and herteachings tell her how they havehelped you.Don't forget that mother still likescandy.Mother was your first and truestsweetheart don't forget to say "Ilove you I"For the daughters these things aresuggested :It's your chance to say "thank you"to your best friend your mother.Be sure to celebrate by wearing aflower for mother: White for mothersnot living; colored flowers for motherstill with you.Send mother some gay spring flowers, a brilliant bouquet or a thriftyplant.Make a dainty cap or a "dress-up"gown or shirtwaist as a love gift tomother.If mother is far away, send her a"special delivery letter" for her Sunday treat.Send mother the book you just enJoyed reading.Don't forget to send her pictures ofyourself, your friends and your goodtimes.Tell mother your small joys and sorrows and ask her advice It will begood.Ask mother to tell you about hergirlhood you'll both enjoy it.Mother is a gin too. She likes prettythings, love, laughter and compliments.Give her some.The spirit of this celebration isright enough. The letter of it fails.Nobody can tell you how to observeMother's Day.. You know. If she's ared carnation mother make her happy.If she's a white carnation mother, dosomething that would make her happyif she were a red carnation mother.Nobody can draw up a celebrationschedule for Mother's Day. How canone, when nobody can find adequatewords to write about Mother's Day?Mother's Day is something new Inthe way of holidays not like Christmas and Easter which are old, oldholidays. And It's new, compared withthe Fourth of July. In fact, It's justabout the newest holiday we have.It was no longer ago than 1906 thatMiss Anne Jarvis of Philadelphia, honoring the memory of her own motheron the anniversary of her death, conceived of a day of which everyoneshould do reverence to his mother,whether living or dead. The World'sSunday School association adopted theplan, and, in the next few years, annually designated one Sunday asMother's Day. The purposes of thiscelebration, as stated by Dr. GeorgeW. Bailey, then president of the association, were:"To recall the memories of themothers that are gone, and throughloving words and loving care tobrighten the lives of the mothers thatremain, and to help children, men andwomen to a greater blessing in honoring their fathers and their mothers."To recall mother's prayers, mother's dying words, and the promisesmade to mother by the big boy thatstill mourns her, and to stop and thinka little of what she was in her life toher family."In 1908 Miss Jarvis founded an organization now known as Mother's DayInternational association.The idea was taken up by the states.In 1910 the governor of WashingtonIssued a proclamation designatingMay 8 of that year as "Mother's Day"and urged It be celebrated by specialservices and the wearing of a whiteflower in honor of all mothers. In 1912the governor of Oklahoma issued asimilar proclamation.National recognition was givenMother's Day by resolution of theSixty-third congress, approved by thePresident of the United States on May8, 1914, designating that the secondSunday in May thereafter should generally be known as "Mother's Day,"and directing that it should be theduty, of the President to request its observance by Issuing a proclamationcalling upon the government officialsto display the United States flag onall government buildings, and the people to display the flag at their homesor other suitable places on this day,"as a public expression of our loveand reverence for the mothers of ourcountry."Originally the white carnation wasthe flower worn in observance of theday. Then, the public settled on whitecarnations for mothers dead and tedcarnations for mothers living; then onwhite flowers and colored flowers.Now the tendency is to wear "mother'sfavorite flower."The great of the world have beenproud to pay tribute to mothers.Unhappy is the man for whom hisown mother has not made all othermothers venerable. Rlchter.A man never sees all that his motherhas been to him till it's too late tolet her know that he sees it. W. D.Howells.If you would reform the world fromits errors and vices, begin by enlistingthe mothers. C. Simmons.I think It must somewhere be written that the virtues of the mothersshall be visited on their children, aswell as the sins of the fathers.Charles Dickens.The loving sacrifices of motherhoodmust burn on the altar of undyingfaith. If I could bequeath but onepriceless heritage to youth, it wouldbe the ability to know the full measureof her love. Her Influence is the mostchangeless thing in the fiber of aman's character. It outweighs arts,science, literature and philosophy, forher faith and works are better thanall the wise man's knowledge. Senator Lawrence T. Sherman.Then there Is the Gold Star Motherand the Mother in Time of War oh,what's the use!But they do say in France that inthe moment of his wounding the British soldier thought first of his sweetheart, the French soldier of his wifeand the. American soldier of his mother. Never mind who won the Worldwar; there's glory enough for all.But history will record this fact:America showed the world in this soldier who thought first ot his mother,a new kind of fighting man:He marched laughing to the frontVeterans pitied him as a mere youth.Children loved him as one of them.Women gave him smile for smile.The enemy found him terrible afighting man who could not be stopped.The economic problems connectedwith the advantageous marketing offarm crops and the financing of themovement of those crops are pressingupon agriculture most severely. Theywill be solved, however, and whilethat solution is being worked out itIs simply good sense on the farmer'spart to make his efforts toward production tell to the very maximum, asbest carrying him through the periodof depression and hard times andplacing him in the best position totake the greatest possible advantageof the better times to come. We mayrepeat that the cheapest farm crop,whether from fields or from live stock,Is almost invariably the largest cropwhich can be obtained. Or in otherwords, the greater the crop, thegreater the net profit. To attain suchcrops and to place himself in the advantageous position referred to above,the farmer must study, and must applythe results of his study to such problems as soil fertility, its conservationand increase; soil moisture, its control; cultural methods, suitable andproductive varieties, etc., etc.The question Is how can you bestaccomplish and secure these things?Can they be done on high-priced lands,by paying high rents, with the pricesyou get for your produce no greaterthan may be .had from that grownand raised on much cheaper lands,whose production Is fully as great asthat of the high-priced lands? Theanswer is unquestionably in favor ofthe low-priced lands, when they areselected because of their soil fertilityand the other requirements necessary.It is not the purpose here to point outmerely that the lands of WesternCanada would prove a splendid andready solution, but to emphasize thefact that in order to overcome yourpresent difficulty, to remove some ofthe burden that you are laboring under, you must secure some line ofcheaper operation, whether it be removal to other parts in your owncountry where such opportunity mayoffer, or take advantage of that whichWestern Canada affords.For information regarding theseadvantages apply to any Canadiangovernment agent.

The area burned over each year,it is said, is equal to a strip ten mileswide reaching from New York City toDenver, Colo. The publication directsattention to the fact that fifteen yearsago the bulk of public sentimentagainst forest fires was in the East.Today it is in the West, where 61 percent of the remaining timber supply ofthe country is located. Over 81,000,-000 acres of forest land that were formerly covered with timber are loggedoff or burned and completely denudedof tree growth. The solution of forestry problems, experts say, lies largely in fire prevention and reforestation. 2ff7e9595c
