I think the island will sink after a few more shocks." "Then what good will my " began Barcoe Jenks, but he stopped in confusion, and again his hand went to his belt with a queer gesture. Tom Swift turned to gaze at Mr. Barcoe Jenks. That individual certainly had a strange manner. Perhaps it might be caused by the terror of the earthquakes, but the man seemed to be trying to hold back some secret.
The man looked all around the shed, before replying, as if fearful of being overheard. Then, stepping close to Tom, he whispered: "Mr. Jenks told me!" "Mr. Jenks?" Tom could not conceal his astonishment. "Yes. Mr. Barcoe Jenks. But I did not come here to merely ask you for employment. I would like to hire out to you, but the real object of my visit was to say this to you."
"Yes don't you remember Earthquake Island how we were nearly killed there don't you remember Mr. Jenks?" "Mr. Jenks?" Tom was so startled that he could only repeat words after the strange man, who was talking to him from outside the glass door. "Yes, Mr. Jenks," was the reply. "Mr. Barcoe Jenks, who makes diamonds.

Tom Swift, after his arrival home, went on an expedition among a gang of men known as the "Diamond Makers" who were hidden in the Rocky Mountains. He was accompanied by Mr. Barcoe Jenks, one of the castaways of Earthquake Island. They found the diamond makers, and had some surprising adventures, barely escaping with their lives.
The man approached still closer to Tom, and, in a lower voice, and one that could scarcely be heard, he fairly hissed: "Don't go with Barcoe Jenks to seek the diamond makers!" Then, before Tom could put out a hand to detain him, had the lad so wished, the man turned suddenly, and fairly ran from the shed. The young inventor stood almost spellbound for a few moments.
