Walker's ambition is to make a road right round the island and a great part of it already is built . His roads are the joy of his heart and he makes excursions constantly to see that they are keeping in order.
The roads are wide tracks which cut through the jungle. When they are laid, trees are rooted out and rocks are digged up. It is hard work, and all of it is done by the natives who are paid almost nominal wages for it.
Then the day came when the natives learned that larger sums are paid for such work in other places and they stopped the work. Now the wages are discussed in the village. The natives hold together and say they will not return to the work unless Walker agrees to accept their terms. The administrator only promises to give them a feast when the road is finished.
But when Walker found that no attempt was made to start work, he goes to the village and asks the men what silly game is played. The natives are calm and only say they will do it if he will give them a hundred pounds. Walker flies into a rage and says: «If you will not start in a week, take care». Then he turned round and walked away.
