“It’s a hundred to one it was the boat of the Wear Jack. The Wear Jack’s whaler had no name on it, and it’s just the position they’d have been in by drifting. You see the Kiro Shiwo would have brought them down past the line and then they’d have met Humboldt’s current; that would have pushed them back, and there they’d have been drifting and messing about when the Hesperia came along. Anyhow,” finished George, “whatever’s become of those jewels, they’ve never been seen since, and it’s my opinion, they’ll never be seen again.”
THE END.
