Trapped by Malays: A Tale of Bayonet and Kris Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "Trapped by Malays: A Tale of Bayonet and Kris" by George Manville Fenn is an adventurous novel written in the late 19th century. It immerses readers in a tale filled with military life and suspense, centering around young officers stationed in a tropical Malay jungle setting. The narrative follows Ensign Archie Maine, depicting his interactions with fellow soldiers, local inhabitants, and the challenges they face in this exotic yet perilous environment. The opening of the story introduces us to Archie Maine, who reflects on a note from his superior and engages in banter with Private Peter Pegg. Set in Campong Dang on the Ruah River, the sweltering heat invokes a sense of frustration as Archie contemplates the nature of military life while lamenting about potential crocodiles lurking in the waters nearby. A valuable glimpse into Archie's character and his relationships with others—especially the comedic exchanges with Pegg—sets the stage for the ensuing conflict as officers prepare for their duties amid rising tensions with the local Malays. Through humor and camaraderie, the text lays the groundwork for the adventure and suspense that are expected to evolve in the story.
