The Lure o 9 Gold tures by land and sea, and I had fetched home with me the golden treasure of my dreams, safe from all the covetous hands that had reached forth to clutch it and wrest it from me. To say that I was glad but poorly expresses the delight I felt when the plank was lowered and we all crowded to the side. Doctor Quaritch had undertaken the task of informing the Federal author ities about the prisoners, and I ran down the gang-plank, jumped into a cab, and in a few minutes was flying up Market street. I burst in upon my good people, who were soon all in a high state of excitement, my mother weeping and laughing all at once, my sisters and brothers making wild demonstrations of welcome, and my father s wan face illness he had just come safely out of his long siege of wreathed in glad smiles. " About the gold," asked my father, after I had been nearly smothered by my affectionate sisters, " " is it safe ? "It will be in the Mint to-morrow." I showed him the purser s receipt. "Did you have any trouble bringing it down?" asked he, considerately. "Did I have any trouble?" I repeated. "Well, yes a little!" [244]
" M y Burden is Resumed And then I gave him an outline of the adventures that I have detailed more fully to the readers of the fore going chapters. The next day, after the gold had been deposited in the Mint, I saw Trust and the others in prison, which I visited in company with Doctor Quaritch. Somers and Bill were lying on their cots behind the bars, apparently asleep. Fishley was reading a newspaper, and per sistently kept his face away from us. Trust was smok ing a cigarette and writing in a corner of his cell. " Wait a minute," said he, as we turned to go. just putting the finishing touches to this." " I m A moment later he rose, gathered up a half-dozen sheets of writing paper that lay before him, and passed them through the bars to me, saying : Here s something I wrote for you." " " For me ? I asked, wondering. " Yes, for you to read." I surmised that the scrawl he had penciled on the paper was some sort of plea for clemency on the part of the complaining witness against him. But it con sisted of eleven stanzas of what purported to be poetry, at the top of which I read the title : Lament." [245] " The Gold-Seeker s
