Braddock was much agitated as he thought that Sidney had already escaped.

He waited in the boat and sent Cockatoo to knock at the window.

Then a light appeared and the window was silently opened.

The Kanaka slipped in and remained there for some ten minutes after closing the window.

When he returned, the light was extinguished.
He whispered to his master that Sidney had opened the packing case and the mummy coffin, and had ripped the swathings to get the jewels.
