The
surgery
,
where
I
used
to
make
up
my
drugs
,
was
next
to
his
sitting
-
room
,
with
a
small
window
between
us
.
Often
,
if
I
felt
lonesome
,
I
used
to
turn
out
the
lamp
in
the
surgery
,
and
then
,
standing
there
,
I
could
hear
their
talk
and
watch
their
play
.
I
am
fond
of
a
hand
at
cards
myself
,
and
it
was
almost
as
good
as
having
one
to
watch
the
others
.
There
was
Major
Sholto
,
Captain
Morstan
,
and
Lieutenant
Bromley
Brown
,
who
were
in
command
of
the
native
troops
,
and
there
was
the
surgeon
himself
,
and
two
or
three
prison
-
officials
,
crafty
old
hands
who
played
a
nice
sly
safe
game
.
A
very
snug
little
party
they
used
to
make
.
“
Well
,
there
was
one
thing
which
very
soon
struck
me
,
and
that
was
that
the
soldiers
used
always
to
lose
and
the
civilians
to
win
.
Mind
,
I
don
’
t
say
that
there
was
anything
unfair
,
but
so
it
was
.
These
prison
-
chaps
had
done
little
else
than
play
cards
ever
since
they
had
been
at
the
Andamans
,
and
they
knew
each
other
’
s
game
to
a
point
,
while
the
others
just
played
to
pass
the
time
and
threw
their
cards
down
anyhow
.
Night
after
night
the
soldiers
got
up
poorer
men
,
and
the
poorer
they
got
the
more
keen
they
were
to
play
.
Major
Sholto
was
the
hardest
hit
.
He
used
to
pay
in
notes
and
gold
at
first
,
but
soon
it
came
to
notes
of
hand
and
for
big
sums
.
He
sometimes
would
win
for
a
few
deals
,
just
to
give
him
heart
,
and
then
the
luck
would
set
in
against
him
worse
than
ever
.
All
day
he
would
wander
about
as
black
as
thunder
,
and
he
took
to
drinking
a
deal
more
than
was
good
for
him
.
“
One
night
he
lost
even
more
heavily
than
usual
.
I
was
sitting
in
my
hut
when
he
and
Captain
Morstan
came
stumbling
along
on
the
way
to
their
quarters
.
They
were
bosom
friends
,
those
two
,
and
never
far
apart
.
The
major
was
raving
about
his
losses
.
“
‘
It
’
s
all
up
,
Morstan
,
’
he
was
saying
,
as
they
passed
my
hut
.
‘
I
shall
have
to
send
in
my
papers
.
I
am
a
ruined
man
.
’
“
‘
Nonsense
,
old
chap
!
’
said
the
other
,
slapping
him
upon
the
shoulder
.
‘
I
’
ve
had
a
nasty
facer
myself
,
but
—
’
That
was
all
I
could
hear
,
but
it
was
enough
to
set
me
thinking
.
“
A
couple
of
days
later
Major
Sholto
was
strolling
on
the
beach
:
so
I
took
the
chance
of
speaking
to
him
.
“
‘
I
wish
to
have
your
advice
,
major
,
’
said
I
.
“
‘
Well
,
Small
,
what
is
it
?
’
he
asked
,
taking
his
cheroot
from
his
lips
.
“
‘
I
wanted
to
ask
you
,
sir
,
’
said
I
,
‘
who
is
the
proper
person
to
whom
hidden
treasure
should
be
handed
over
.
I
know
where
half
a
million
worth
lies
,
and
,
as
I
cannot
use
it
myself
,
I
thought
perhaps
the
best
thing
that
I
could
do
would
be
to
hand
it
over
to
the
proper
authorities
,
and
then
perhaps
they
would
get
my
sentence
shortened
for
me
.
