Our
captive
sat
in
the
cabin
opposite
to
the
iron
box
which
he
had
done
so
much
and
waited
so
long
to
gain
.
He
was
a
sunburned
,
reckless
-
eyed
fellow
,
with
a
network
of
lines
and
wrinkles
all
over
his
mahogany
features
,
which
told
of
a
hard
,
open
-
air
life
.
There
was
a
singular
prominence
about
his
bearded
chin
which
marked
a
man
who
was
not
to
be
easily
turned
from
his
purpose
.
His
age
may
have
been
fifty
or
thereabouts
,
for
his
black
,
curly
hair
was
thickly
shot
with
grey
.
His
face
in
repose
was
not
an
unpleasing
one
,
though
his
heavy
brows
and
aggressive
chin
gave
him
,
as
I
had
lately
seen
,
a
terrible
expression
when
moved
to
anger
.
He
sat
now
with
his
handcuffed
hands
upon
his
lap
,
and
his
head
sunk
upon
his
breast
,
while
he
looked
with
his
keen
,
twinkling
eyes
at
the
box
which
had
been
the
cause
of
his
ill
-
doings
.
It
seemed
to
me
that
there
was
more
sorrow
than
anger
in
his
rigid
and
contained
countenance
.
Once
he
looked
up
at
me
with
a
gleam
of
something
like
humour
in
his
eyes
.
“
Well
,
Jonathan
Small
,
”
said
Holmes
,
lighting
a
cigar
,
“
I
am
sorry
that
it
has
come
to
this
.
”
“
And
so
am
I
,
sir
,
”
he
answered
,
frankly
.
“
I
don
’
t
believe
that
I
can
swing
over
the
job
.
I
give
you
my
word
on
the
book
that
I
never
raised
hand
against
Mr
.
Sholto
.
It
was
that
little
hell
-
hound
Tonga
who
shot
one
of
his
cursed
darts
into
him
.
I
had
no
part
in
it
,
sir
.
I
was
as
grieved
as
if
it
had
been
my
blood
-
relation
.
I
welted
the
little
devil
with
the
slack
end
of
the
rope
for
it
,
but
it
was
done
,
and
I
could
not
undo
it
again
.
”
“
Have
a
cigar
,
”
said
Holmes
;
“
and
you
had
best
take
a
pull
out
of
my
flask
,
for
you
are
very
wet
.
How
could
you
expect
so
small
and
weak
a
man
as
this
black
fellow
to
overpower
Mr
.
Sholto
and
hold
him
while
you
were
climbing
the
rope
?
”
“
You
seem
to
know
as
much
about
it
as
if
you
were
there
,
sir
.
The
truth
is
that
I
hoped
to
find
the
room
clear
.
I
knew
the
habits
of
the
house
pretty
well
,
and
it
was
the
time
when
Mr
.
Sholto
usually
went
down
to
his
supper
.
I
shall
make
no
secret
of
the
business
.
The
best
defence
that
I
can
make
is
just
the
simple
truth
.
Now
,
if
it
had
been
the
old
major
I
would
have
swung
for
him
with
a
light
heart
.
I
would
have
thought
no
more
of
knifing
him
than
of
smoking
this
cigar
.
But
it
’
s
cursed
hard
that
I
should
be
lagged
over
this
young
Sholto
,
with
whom
I
had
no
quarrel
whatever
.
”
“
You
are
under
the
charge
of
Mr
.
Athelney
Jones
,
of
Scotland
Yard
.
He
is
going
to
bring
you
up
to
my
rooms
,
and
I
shall
ask
you
for
a
true
account
of
the
matter
.
You
must
make
a
clean
breast
of
it
,
for
if
you
do
I
hope
that
I
may
be
of
use
to
you
.
I
think
I
can
prove
that
the
poison
acts
so
quickly
that
the
man
was
dead
before
ever
you
reached
the
room
.
”
“
That
he
was
,
sir
.
I
never
got
such
a
turn
in
my
life
as
when
I
saw
him
grinning
at
me
with
his
head
on
his
shoulder
as
I
climbed
through
the
window
.
It
fairly
shook
me
,
sir
.
I
’
d
have
half
killed
Tonga
for
it
if
he
had
not
scrambled
off
.
That
was
how
he
came
to
leave
his
club
,
and
some
of
his
darts
too
,
as
he
tells
me
,
which
I
dare
say
helped
to
put
you
on
our
track
;
though
how
you
kept
on
it
is
more
than
I
can
tell
.
I
don
’
t
feel
no
malice
against
you
for
it
.
But
it
does
seem
a
queer
thing
,
”
he
added
,
with
a
bitter
smile
,
“
that
I
who
have
a
fair
claim
to
nigh
upon
half
a
million
of
money
should
spend
the
first
half
of
my
life
building
a
breakwater
in
the
Andamans
,
and
am
like
to
spend
the
other
half
digging
drains
at
Dartmoor
.
It
was
an
evil
day
for
me
when
first
I
clapped
eyes
upon
the
merchant
Achmet
and
had
to
do
with
the
Agra
treasure
,
which
never
brought
anything
but
a
curse
yet
upon
the
man
who
owned
it
.
To
him
it
brought
murder
,
to
Major
Sholto
it
brought
fear
and
guilt
,
to
me
it
has
meant
slavery
for
life
.
”
At
this
moment
Athelney
Jones
thrust
his
broad
face
and
heavy
shoulders
into
the
tiny
cabin
.
“
Quite
a
family
party
,
”
he
remarked
.
“
I
think
I
shall
have
a
pull
at
that
flask
,
Holmes
.
Well
,
I
think
we
may
all
congratulate
each
other
.
Pity
we
didn
’
t
take
the
other
alive
;
but
there
was
no
choice
.
I
say
,
Holmes
,
you
must
confess
that
you
cut
it
rather
fine
.
It
was
all
we
could
do
to
overhaul
her
.
”
