The
next
task
was
to
make
the
cabin
habitable
,
and
to
this
end
it
was
decided
to
at
once
remove
the
gruesome
relics
of
the
tragedy
which
had
taken
place
there
on
some
bygone
day
.
Professor
Porter
and
Mr.
Philander
were
deeply
interested
in
examining
the
skeletons
.
The
two
larger
,
they
stated
,
had
belonged
to
a
male
and
female
of
one
of
the
higher
white
races
.
The
smallest
skeleton
was
given
but
passing
attention
,
as
its
location
,
in
the
crib
,
left
no
doubt
as
to
its
having
been
the
infant
offspring
of
this
unhappy
couple
.

As
they
were
preparing
the
skeleton
of
the
man
for
burial
,
Clayton
discovered
a
massive
ring
which
had
evidently
encircled
the
man
's
finger
at
the
time
of
his
death
,
for
one
of
the
slender
bones
of
the
hand
still
lay
within
the
golden
bauble
.
Picking
it
up
to
examine
it
,
Clayton
gave
a
cry
of
astonishment
,
for
the
ring
bore
the
crest
of
the
house
of
Greystoke
.
At
the
same
time
,
Jane
discovered
the
books
in
the
cupboard
,
and
on
opening
the
fly-leaf
of
one
of
them
saw
the
name
,
JOHN
CLAYTON
,
LONDON
.
In
a
second
book
which
she
hurriedly
examined
was
the
single
name
,
GREYSTOKE
.

"
Why
,
Mr.
Clayton
,
"
she
cried
,
"
what
does
this
mean
?
Here
are
the
names
of
some
of
your
own
people
in
these
books
.
"
"
And
here
,
"
he
replied
gravely
,
"
is
the
great
ring
of
the
house
of
Greystoke
which
has
been
lost
since
my
uncle
,
John
Clayton
,
the
former
Lord
Greystoke
,
disappeared
,
presumably
lost
at
sea
.
"
"
But
how
do
you
account
for
these
things
being
here
,
in
this
savage
African
jungle
?
"
exclaimed
the
girl
.
