Detailed Summary
'The Serang of Ranaganji' is an excerpt which is taken from Dr A. J. Cronin's Adventures in Two Worlds. The Ranaganji is a liner which is going for a voyage from Liverpool to Calcutta. There are so many and different types of passengers such as tourists, “pleasure seekers” and Anglo-Indian army who come with their wives and families in the ship. The officers in the ship are Whites and crews are Indians. A.J. Cronin is the physician of the ship. The weather is fine and pleasant.
As the story begins, Madge Jope-Smith describes Hasan, the Indian Serang, as an “absurdly comic creature” to an English man. The English man describes Hasan as “hardly human”. Their comments show their colonial mentality of the Whites. The Whites consider themselves as superior to other race. They think that they are highly civilized. The writer describes Hasan as a stout and “ugly native seaman” who has short legs and “disproportionate” head. He is directing the crews of lascars who are arranging the baggage of the passengers.
Since the weather is good, the passengers in the Ranaganji are enjoying the voyage. They passed the Bay of Biscay without facing any trouble. Then the liner is heading to the Strait of Gibraltar along the Mediterranean sea. In the night, the passengers are on the board and enjoying the voyage. Madge Jope-Smith is the chief of the social promoters.
Madge Jope-Smith is a dominating woman. She is almost thirty but looks very young. She is a snobbish woman. Everyone gets boredom when they spend time with her.
Finally, the Ranaganji has reached Port Said. The passengers have gone outside of the liner to do shopping and enjoying the place. When they come back, they buy silks, cigarettes, shawls, scent, and jewellery. Then the liner heads to the Red Sea passes rocks of Aden and reach the Arabian Sea.
On the next morning, while A.J. Cronin is doing the consultation, Hasan brings two of his “lascar deck hands”. Out of respect, he bows his head in front of A.J. Cronin. He informs A.J. Cronin that the“lascar deck hands” have fever. A.J. Cronin examines them. They show the symptoms of smallpox such as bone pain, fever, severe headache, “thickly furred tongues” and “nodules” under the wrist skin.
