So
we
left
it
.
Perhaps
,
in
some
remote
unborn
century
,
a
more
fortunate
explorer
may
hit
upon
the
"
Open
Sesame
,
"
and
flood
the
world
with
gems
.
But
,
myself
,
I
doubt
it
.
Somehow
,
I
seem
to
feel
that
the
tens
of
millions
of
pounds
'
worth
of
jewels
which
lie
in
the
three
stone
coffers
will
never
shine
round
the
neck
of
an
earthly
beauty
.
They
and
Foulata
's
bones
will
keep
cold
company
till
the
end
of
all
things
.
With
a
sigh
of
disappointment
we
made
our
way
back
,
and
next
day
started
for
Loo
.
And
yet
it
was
really
very
ungrateful
of
us
to
be
disappointed
;
for
,
as
the
reader
will
remember
,
by
a
lucky
thought
,
I
had
taken
the
precaution
to
fill
the
wide
pockets
of
my
old
shooting
coat
and
trousers
with
gems
before
we
left
our
prison-house
,
also
Foulata
's
basket
,
which
held
twice
as
many
more
,
notwithstanding
that
the
water
bottle
had
occupied
some
of
its
space
.
A
good
many
of
these
fell
out
in
the
course
of
our
roll
down
the
side
of
the
pit
,
including
several
of
the
big
ones
,
which
I
had
crammed
in
on
the
top
in
my
coat
pockets
.
But
,
comparatively
speaking
,
an
enormous
quantity
still
remained
,
including
ninety-three
large
stones
ranging
from
over
two
hundred
to
seventy
carats
in
weight
.
My
old
shooting
coat
and
the
basket
still
held
sufficient
treasure
to
make
us
all
,
if
not
millionaires
as
the
term
is
understood
in
America
,
at
least
exceedingly
wealthy
men
,
and
yet
to
keep
enough
stones
each
to
make
the
three
finest
sets
of
gems
in
Europe
.
So
we
had
not
done
so
badly
.
On
arriving
at
Loo
we
were
most
cordially
received
by
Ignosi
,
whom
we
found
well
,
and
busily
engaged
in
consolidating
his
power
,
and
reorganising
the
regiments
which
had
suffered
most
in
the
great
struggle
with
Twala
.
He
listened
with
intense
interest
to
our
wonderful
story
;
but
when
we
told
him
of
old
Gagool
's
frightful
end
he
grew
thoughtful
.
"
Come
hither
,
"
he
called
,
to
a
very
old
Induna
or
councillor
,
who
was
sitting
with
others
in
a
circle
round
the
king
,
but
out
of
ear-shot
.
The
ancient
man
rose
,
approached
,
saluted
,
and
seated
himself
.
"
Thou
art
aged
,
"
said
Ignosi
.
"
Ay
,
my
lord
the
king
!
Thy
father
's
father
and
I
were
born
on
the
same
day
.
"
"
Tell
me
,
when
thou
wast
little
,
didst
thou
know
Gagaoola
the
witch
doctress
?
"
"
Ay
,
my
lord
the
king
!
"
"
How
was
she
then
--
young
,
like
thee
?
"
