The only possible objection to the conclusion that the Lodge of ‘In the Interests of the Brethren’ is all-white is that Kipling mentions that one of the Masons came from Jamaica. Ranston’s research, and a conversation with the author, leads me to conclude that the picture in his mind is of a Jamaican Brother from among the white planters.
