Ferry to Kowloon
Another story of lost love. A blind man on a Hong Kong street hears a woman singing inside one of the clubs there. He knows she is his old love Renee but he can't find his way to her. He hires Smith, whom we first see on the Hong Kong-Macao ferry, impersonating a loud, rich tourist--bait for a badger gamer who once partnered with Renee. The man's information leads him to Renee, who refuses to meet her old love again because she is ashamed of the way she's lived since they were separated. The man will not give up. But Renee has gone into hiding. Smith believes she will try to leave Macao on the Kowloon ferry and decides not to let the boat out of his sight. The best place observation post is onboard.

Forbidden Atoll
In his own oblique way, Smith is helping a woman who received a message in a bottle. He arranges for a man named Smith to be shanghaied on the boat she has chartered to track down the author of the message. His idea is to escort the woman secretly because her crew is what's known as motley, ethically. The boat reaches an island where an exiled general has gone nutty and rules a few bewildered natives and castaways. Smith's client said she was looking for her lost husband, but she knows the general too. And she notes with interest that the general emptied his country's treasury on his way out. She thinks the island emperor needs a consort. Some think the island needs a regime change. Smith thinks everyone needs a jailbreak. In the end, Smith philosophizes that few searchers have the good fortune to learn that there's no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow-and adds that, of course, every rainbow has two ends.
