Aided
by
this
chart
,
the
officers
—
or
one
of
them
—
gets
the
treasure
and
brings
it
to
England
,
leaving
,
we
will
suppose
,
some
condition
under
which
he
received
it
unfulfilled
.
Now
,
then
,
why
did
not
Jonathan
Small
get
the
treasure
himself
?
The
answer
is
obvious
.
The
chart
is
dated
at
a
time
when
Morstan
was
brought
into
close
association
with
convicts
.
Jonathan
Small
did
not
get
the
treasure
because
he
and
his
associates
were
themselves
convicts
and
could
not
get
away
.
”
“
But
that
is
mere
speculation
,
”
said
I
.
“
It
is
more
than
that
.
It
is
the
only
hypothesis
which
covers
the
facts
.
Let
us
see
how
it
fits
in
with
the
sequel
.
Major
Sholto
remains
at
peace
for
some
years
,
happy
in
the
possession
of
his
treasure
.
Then
he
receives
a
letter
from
India
which
gives
him
a
great
fright
.
What
was
that
?
”
“
A
letter
to
say
that
the
men
whom
he
had
wronged
had
been
set
free
.
”
“
Or
had
escaped
.
That
is
much
more
likely
,
for
he
would
have
known
what
their
term
of
imprisonment
was
.
It
would
not
have
been
a
surprise
to
him
.
What
does
he
do
then
?
He
guards
himself
against
a
wooden
-
legged
man
,
—
a
white
man
,
mark
you
,
for
he
mistakes
a
white
tradesman
for
him
,
and
actually
fires
a
pistol
at
him
.
Now
,
only
one
white
man
’
s
name
is
on
the
chart
.
The
others
are
Hindoos
or
Mohammedans
.
There
is
no
other
white
man
.
Therefore
we
may
say
with
confidence
that
the
wooden
-
legged
man
is
identical
with
Jonathan
Small
.
Does
the
reasoning
strike
you
as
being
faulty
?
”
“
No
:
it
is
clear
and
concise
.
”
“
Well
,
now
,
let
us
put
ourselves
in
the
place
of
Jonathan
Small
.
Let
us
look
at
it
from
his
point
of
view
.
He
comes
to
England
with
the
double
idea
of
regaining
what
he
would
consider
to
be
his
rights
and
of
having
his
revenge
upon
the
man
who
had
wronged
him
.
He
found
out
where
Sholto
lived
,
and
very
possibly
he
established
communications
with
some
one
inside
the
house
.
There
is
this
butler
,
Lal
Rao
,
whom
we
have
not
seen
.
Mrs
.
Bernstone
gives
him
far
from
a
good
character
.
Small
could
not
find
out
,
however
,
where
the
treasure
was
hid
,
for
no
one
ever
knew
,
save
the
major
and
one
faithful
servant
who
had
died
.
Suddenly
Small
learns
that
the
major
is
on
his
death
-
bed
.
In
a
frenzy
lest
the
secret
of
the
treasure
die
with
him
,
he
runs
the
gauntlet
of
the
guards
,
makes
his
way
to
the
dying
man
’
s
window
,
and
is
only
deterred
from
entering
by
the
presence
of
his
two
sons
.
Mad
with
hate
,
however
,
against
the
dead
man
,
he
enters
the
room
that
night
,
searches
his
private
papers
in
the
hope
of
discovering
some
memorandum
relating
to
the
treasure
,
and
finally
leaves
a
momento
of
his
visit
in
the
short
inscription
upon
the
card
.
He
had
doubtless
planned
beforehand
that
should
he
slay
the
major
he
would
leave
some
such
record
upon
the
body
as
a
sign
that
it
was
not
a
common
murder
,
but
,
from
the
point
of
view
of
the
four
associates
,
something
in
the
nature
of
an
act
of
justice
.
Whimsical
and
bizarre
conceits
of
this
kind
are
common
enough
in
the
annals
of
crime
,
and
usually
afford
valuable
indications
as
to
the
criminal
.
Do
you
follow
all
this
?
”
“
Very
clearly
.
”
“
Now
,
what
could
Jonathan
Small
do
?
He
could
only
continue
to
keep
a
secret
watch
upon
the
efforts
made
to
find
the
treasure
.
