‘
What
have
you
in
the
bundle
?
’
I
asked
.
“
‘
An
iron
box
,
’
he
answered
,
‘
which
contains
one
or
two
little
family
matters
which
are
of
no
value
to
others
,
but
which
I
should
be
sorry
to
lose
.
Yet
I
am
not
a
beggar
;
and
I
shall
reward
you
,
young
Sahib
,
and
your
governor
also
,
if
he
will
give
me
the
shelter
I
ask
.
’
“
I
could
not
trust
myself
to
speak
longer
with
the
man
.
The
more
I
looked
at
his
fat
,
frightened
face
,
the
harder
did
it
seem
that
we
should
slay
him
in
cold
blood
.
It
was
best
to
get
it
over
.
“
‘
Take
him
to
the
main
guard
,
’
said
I
.
The
two
Sikhs
closed
in
upon
him
on
each
side
,
and
the
giant
walked
behind
,
while
they
marched
in
through
the
dark
gateway
.
Never
was
a
man
so
compassed
round
with
death
.
I
remained
at
the
gateway
with
the
lantern
.
“
I
could
hear
the
measured
tramp
of
their
footsteps
sounding
through
the
lonely
corridors
.
Suddenly
it
ceased
,
and
I
heard
voices
,
and
a
scuffle
,
with
the
sound
of
blows
.
A
moment
later
there
came
,
to
my
horror
,
a
rush
of
footsteps
coming
in
my
direction
,
with
the
loud
breathing
of
a
running
man
.
I
turned
my
lantern
down
the
long
,
straight
passage
,
and
there
was
the
fat
man
,
running
like
the
wind
,
with
a
smear
of
blood
across
his
face
,
and
close
at
his
heels
,
bounding
like
a
tiger
,
the
great
black
-
bearded
Sikh
,
with
a
knife
flashing
in
his
hand
.
I
have
never
seen
a
man
run
so
fast
as
that
little
merchant
.
He
was
gaining
on
the
Sikh
,
and
I
could
see
that
if
he
once
passed
me
and
got
to
the
open
air
he
would
save
himself
yet
.
My
heart
softened
to
him
,
but
again
the
thought
of
his
treasure
turned
me
hard
and
bitter
.
I
cast
my
firelock
between
his
legs
as
he
raced
past
,
and
he
rolled
twice
over
like
a
shot
rabbit
.
Ere
he
could
stagger
to
his
feet
the
Sikh
was
upon
him
,
and
buried
his
knife
twice
in
his
side
.
The
man
never
uttered
moan
nor
moved
muscle
,
but
lay
were
he
had
fallen
.
I
think
myself
that
he
may
have
broken
his
neck
with
the
fall
.
You
see
,
gentlemen
,
that
I
am
keeping
my
promise
.
I
am
telling
you
every
work
of
the
business
just
exactly
as
it
happened
,
whether
it
is
in
my
favour
or
not
.
”
He
stopped
,
and
held
out
his
manacled
hands
for
the
whiskey
-
and
-
water
which
Holmes
had
brewed
for
him
.
For
myself
,
I
confess
that
I
had
now
conceived
the
utmost
horror
of
the
man
,
not
only
for
this
cold
-
blooded
business
in
which
he
had
been
concerned
,
but
even
more
for
the
somewhat
flippant
and
careless
way
in
which
he
narrated
it
.
Whatever
punishment
was
in
store
for
him
,
I
felt
that
he
might
expect
no
sympathy
from
me
.
Sherlock
Holmes
and
Jones
sat
with
their
hands
upon
their
knees
,
deeply
interested
in
the
story
,
but
with
the
same
disgust
written
upon
their
faces
.
He
may
have
observed
it
,
for
there
was
a
touch
of
defiance
in
his
voice
and
manner
as
he
proceeded
.
“
It
was
all
very
bad
,
no
doubt
,
”
said
he
.
“
I
should
like
to
know
how
many
fellows
in
my
shoes
would
have
refused
a
share
of
this
loot
when
they
knew
that
they
would
have
their
throats
cut
for
their
pains
.
Besides
,
it
was
my
life
or
his
when
once
he
was
in
the
fort
.
If
he
had
got
out
,
the
whole
business
would
come
to
light
,
and
I
should
have
been
court
-
martialled
and
shot
as
likely
as
not
;
for
people
were
not
very
lenient
at
a
time
like
that
.
”
“
Go
on
with
your
story
,
”
said
Holmes
,
shortly
.
“
Well
,
we
carried
him
in
,
Abdullah
,
Akbar
,
and
I
.
A
fine
weight
he
was
,
too
,
for
all
that
he
was
so
short
.
Mahomet
Singh
was
left
to
guard
the
door
.
We
took
him
to
a
place
which
the
Sikhs
had
already
prepared
.
It
was
some
distance
off
,
where
a
winding
passage
leads
to
a
great
empty
hall
,
the
brick
walls
of
which
were
all
crumbling
to
pieces
.
The
earth
floor
had
sunk
in
at
one
place
,
making
a
natural
grave
,
so
we
left
Achmet
the
merchant
there
,
having
first
covered
him
over
with
loose
bricks
.
This
done
,
we
all
went
back
to
the
treasure
.
