Failing to get the mummy from you, Professor, he would have returned to Peru and then would have told who possessed the corpse of Inca Caxas, leaving the Indians to deal with the matter.

In that case my warning to Bolton would be necessary.

But at the time I told him, it was not necessary.

However, Bolton remained true to you, Professor, and declined to surrender the mummy.

I therefore wired to Don Pedro at Genoa that the mummy was on board The Diver and was being sent to Gartley.
