Hello Peter,
please check section 5 at about 1:40 where you repeated this sentence: "Even the careless disposition of the young ex-officer of an opium-clipper was affected by the ominous aspect of the hour.""
The rest of section 5 and section 6 are ok.

I have edited section 05 and have uploaded the new version, which now runs 21:54 ((https://librivox.org/uploads/craigdav1/rescue_05_conrad_128kb.mp3).
Please do spot check on new file around that 1:40 mark you identified.

Must say it puzzles me how all these 'native' peoples seem to speak English (which is how they appear to communicate with Tom Lingard). But then, it always puzzlef me how the women in John Ford's westerns had hair styles like contemporary Los Angeles housewives. Perhaps best not to inquire into these things too closely? Not sure...

I didn’t catch these downloads before my walk today.
Perhaps the locals picked up just enough English to be able to work. There’s a great incentive to learn a language when your livelihood depends on it. What struck me when I lived in Indonesia was how little English is spoken nowadays by government and NGO staff. And Dutch was disappeared with a vengeance after independence.

Interesting! I was forgetting that of course you have first hand knowledge of such things — very much unlike myself.Sunrise2020 wrote: ↑October 7th, 2021, 9:44 am I didn’t catch these downloads before my walk today.

PL of sections 12-18 is ok.
There were a couple of passages which made me think that Captain Lingard speaks the local language.

Yes, I agree. Like, for example, when Lingard says "You should not have come here, O Hassim", or when he explains his absence by saying "There was too much trouble in my eyes". This way of speaking is surely local in some sense.Sunrise2020 wrote: ↑October 9th, 2021, 8:13 am There were a couple of passages which made me think that Captain Lingard speaks the local language.

There is an interesting suggestion in the Wikipedia article about this novel to the effect that one really should read it in the context of two novels Conrad had written previously in which Tom Lingard figures prominently. I hope we'll get to those in time (even if not, alas, in the 'right' chronological order now).

As it happens, these sections contain some explicit references to Tom's speaking to some characters in Malay at times. Hardly a major issue in the novel as a whole, but an intriguing little sidelight.
