“
Well
,
I
have
set
my
mind
on
many
things
in
this
life
,
and
never
one
which
I
did
not
carry
out
.
But
it
was
weary
years
before
my
time
came
.
I
have
told
you
that
I
had
picked
up
something
of
medicine
.
One
day
when
Dr
.
Somerton
was
down
with
a
fever
a
little
Andaman
Islander
was
picked
up
by
a
convict
-
gang
in
the
woods
.
He
was
sick
to
death
,
and
had
gone
to
a
lonely
place
to
die
.
I
took
him
in
hand
,
though
he
was
as
venomous
as
a
young
snake
,
and
after
a
couple
of
months
I
got
him
all
right
and
able
to
walk
.
He
took
a
kind
of
fancy
to
me
then
,
and
would
hardly
go
back
to
his
woods
,
but
was
always
hanging
about
my
hut
.
I
learned
a
little
of
his
lingo
from
him
,
and
this
made
him
all
the
fonder
of
me
.
“
Tonga
—
for
that
was
his
name
—
was
a
fine
boatman
,
and
owned
a
big
,
roomy
canoe
of
his
own
.
When
I
found
that
he
was
devoted
to
me
and
would
do
anything
to
serve
me
,
I
saw
my
chance
of
escape
.
I
talked
it
over
with
him
.
He
was
to
bring
his
boat
round
on
a
certain
night
to
an
old
wharf
which
was
never
guarded
,
and
there
he
was
to
pick
me
up
.
I
gave
him
directions
to
have
several
gourds
of
water
and
a
lot
of
yams
,
cocoa
-
nuts
,
and
sweet
potatoes
.
“
He
was
stanch
and
true
,
was
little
Tonga
.
No
man
ever
had
a
more
faithful
mate
.
At
the
night
named
he
had
his
boat
at
the
wharf
.
As
it
chanced
,
however
,
there
was
one
of
the
convict
-
guard
down
there
,
—
a
vile
Pathan
who
had
never
missed
a
chance
of
insulting
and
injuring
me
.
I
had
always
vowed
vengeance
,
and
now
I
had
my
chance
.
It
was
as
if
fate
had
placed
him
in
my
way
that
I
might
pay
my
debt
before
I
left
the
island
.
He
stood
on
the
bank
with
his
back
to
me
,
and
his
carbine
on
his
shoulder
.
I
looked
about
for
a
stone
to
beat
out
his
brains
with
,
but
none
could
I
see
.
Then
a
queer
thought
came
into
my
head
and
showed
me
where
I
could
lay
my
hand
on
a
weapon
.
I
sat
down
in
the
darkness
and
unstrapped
my
wooden
leg
.
With
three
long
hops
I
was
on
him
.
He
put
his
carbine
to
his
shoulder
,
but
I
struck
him
full
,
and
knocked
the
whole
front
of
his
skull
in
.
You
can
see
the
split
in
the
wood
now
where
I
hit
him
.
We
both
went
down
together
,
for
I
could
not
keep
my
balance
,
but
when
I
got
up
I
found
him
still
lying
quiet
enough
.
I
made
for
the
boat
,
and
in
an
hour
we
were
well
out
at
sea
.
Tonga
had
brought
all
his
earthly
possessions
with
him
,
his
arms
and
his
gods
.
Among
other
things
,
he
had
a
long
bamboo
spear
,
and
some
Andaman
cocoa
-
nut
matting
,
with
which
I
made
a
sort
of
sail
.
For
ten
days
we
were
beating
about
,
trusting
to
luck
,
and
on
the
eleventh
we
were
picked
up
by
a
trader
which
was
going
from
Singapore
to
Jiddah
with
a
cargo
of
Malay
pilgrims
.
They
were
a
rum
crowd
,
and
Tonga
and
I
soon
managed
to
settle
down
among
them
.
They
had
one
very
good
quality
:
they
let
you
alone
and
asked
no
questions
.
“
Well
,
if
I
were
to
tell
you
all
the
adventures
that
my
little
chum
and
I
went
through
,
you
would
not
thank
me
,
for
I
would
have
you
here
until
the
sun
was
shining
.
Here
and
there
we
drifted
about
the
world
,
something
always
turning
up
to
keep
us
from
London
.
All
the
time
,
however
,
I
never
lost
sight
of
my
purpose
.
I
would
dream
of
Sholto
at
night
.
A
hundred
times
I
have
killed
him
in
my
sleep
.
At
last
,
however
,
some
three
or
four
years
ago
,
we
found
ourselves
in
England
.
I
had
no
great
difficulty
in
finding
where
Sholto
lived
,
and
I
set
to
work
to
discover
whether
he
had
realised
the
treasure
,
or
if
he
still
had
it
.
I
made
friends
with
someone
who
could
help
me
,
—
I
name
no
names
,
for
I
don
’
t
want
to
get
any
one
else
in
a
hole
,
—
and
I
soon
found
that
he
still
had
the
jewels
.
Then
I
tried
to
get
at
him
in
many
ways
;
but
he
was
pretty
sly
,
and
had
always
two
prize
-
fighters
,
besides
his
sons
and
his
khitmutgar
,
on
guard
over
him
.
“
One
day
,
however
,
I
got
word
that
he
was
dying
.
I
hurried
at
once
to
the
garden
,
mad
that
he
should
slip
out
of
my
clutches
like
that
,
and
,
looking
through
the
window
,
I
saw
him
lying
in
his
bed
,
with
his
sons
on
each
side
of
him
.
I
’
d
have
come
through
and
taken
my
chance
with
the
three
of
them
,
only
even
as
I
looked
at
him
his
jaw
dropped
,
and
I
knew
that
he
was
gone
.
I
got
into
his
room
that
same
night
,
though
,
and
I
searched
his
papers
to
see
if
there
was
any
record
of
where
he
had
hidden
our
jewels
.
There
was
not
a
line
,
however
:
so
I
came
away
,
bitter
and
savage
as
a
man
could
be
.
Before
I
left
I
bethought
me
that
if
I
ever
met
my
Sikh
friends
again
it
would
be
a
satisfaction
to
know
that
I
had
left
some
mark
of
our
hatred
;
so
I
scrawled
down
the
sign
of
the
four
of
us
,
as
it
had
been
on
the
chart
,
and
I
pinned
it
on
his
bosom
.
It
was
too
much
that
he
should
be
taken
to
the
grave
without
some
token
from
the
men
whom
he
had
robbed
and
befooled
.
“
We
earned
a
living
at
this
time
by
my
exhibiting
poor
Tonga
at
fairs
and
other
such
places
as
the
black
cannibal
.
He
would
eat
raw
meat
and
dance
his
war
-
dance
:
so
we
always
had
a
hatful
of
pennies
after
a
day
’
s
work
.
I
still
heard
all
the
news
from
Pondicherry
Lodge
,
and
for
some
years
there
was
no
news
to
hear
,
except
that
they
were
hunting
for
the
treasure
.
At
last
,
however
,
came
what
we
had
waited
for
so
long
.
The
treasure
had
been
found
.
It
was
up
at
the
top
of
the
house
,
in
Mr
.
Bartholomew
Sholto
’
s
chemical
laboratory
.
I
came
at
once
and
had
a
look
at
the
place
,
but
I
could
not
see
how
with
my
wooden
leg
I
was
to
make
my
way
up
to
it
.
I
learned
,
however
,
about
a
trap
-
door
in
the
roof
,
and
also
about
Mr
.
Sholto
’
s
supper
-
hour
.
It
seemed
to
me
that
I
could
manage
the
thing
easily
through
Tonga
.
I
brought
him
out
with
me
with
a
long
rope
wound
round
his
waist
.
He
could
climb
like
a
cat
,
and
he
soon
made
his
way
through
the
roof
,
but
,
as
ill
luck
would
have
it
,
Bartholomew
Sholto
was
still
in
the
room
,
to
his
cost
.
Tonga
thought
he
had
done
something
very
clever
in
killing
him
,
for
when
I
came
up
by
the
rope
I
found
him
strutting
about
as
proud
as
a
peacock
.
Very
much
surprised
was
he
when
I
made
at
him
with
the
rope
’
s
end
and
cursed
him
for
a
little
blood
-
thirsty
imp
.
I
took
the
treasure
-
box
and
let
it
down
,
and
then
slid
down
myself
,
having
first
left
the
sign
of
the
four
upon
the
table
,
to
show
that
the
jewels
had
come
back
at
last
to
those
who
had
most
right
to
them
.
Tonga
then
pulled
up
the
rope
,
closed
the
window
,
and
made
off
the
way
that
he
had
come
.
