In another sector they captured 30,000 rounds of rifle ammunition, 300 boxes of machine-gun ammunition, 200 boxes of hand grenades, 1,000 rifles in good condition, four machine guns, two optical range finders, and even a brand-new Norton well, a portable contrivance for the supply of drinking water.
The weight of this, the largest authenticated nugget ever found was 2268 1/2 ozs., and it was sold for 10,000 pounds, but it was rendered useless as a specimen by the finders, who spent a night burning it to remove the adhering quartz. But the ordinary digger neither hopes nor expects to unearth such treasures as these.
His little finger held the standing end of the rope, the third and middle finders supported the coil, and the noose dangled from his first finger, while his thumb steadied the whole rope and held it from slipping. The coils were not more than a foot or a foot and a half in diameter. The noose was the same size. "That's a smaller noose than you would use on the range, is it not?"
A crowd of people spent the day on the site of the funeral pile, looking for fragments of bone in the shingle that was still warm. They found enough bones to reconstruct ten skeletons, for the farmers on shore frequently throw their dead sheep into the sea. The finders carefully placed these various fragments in their pocketbooks. But not one of them possesses a true particle of the Indian prince.
If they reached the treasure place and found the treasure gone, they would have to try to overtake the finders before they got out. That would mean hustle. They decided on pilot biscuit and the always dependable beans. A blanket each and a poncho, a watch and a compass. Tim was for leaving the poncho out and taking a chance on rain, but Don said no. "Ax," said Tim. "We'll need that, anyway.
The finders labelled it, 'Please sell to the highest bidder, and left it at his door. There was a fund of ominous meaning in the label; but Norman very coolly took the little helpless pledge under his charge, and, with the good nursing of old Bina, made him tell to the tune of two hundred and thirty, cash, 'fore he was two year old.
It is the same for policemen those 'Finders out of Occasions, as Othello styles them those 'rough and ready' to choke ideas, as the bud is bit by the venomous worm 'ere it can spread its sweet leaves to the air. I was about to encounter the assailing eyes of knavery. A gentleman of the administration welcomed me in. 'Sir, I said, coldly, 'I was invited to meet the prefect of the police.
Miss Onslow could not suppress a cry of admiration and delight as she gazed upon them which tribute to their beauty and consequent value seemed to afford considerable satisfaction to the finders. "May I touch them?" asked I of O'Gorman. "Oh yes," he answered, "I suppose there's no harm in y'r touchin' 'em, if ye wants to."
Scarcely more than two years have elapsed since this town of twenty-five thousand inhabitants commenced its miraculous existence. The excitement and bustle of the motley crowd of gold seekers and gold finders is tremendous, the whole of the live-long day. The incessant subject of all conversation is gold, gold, gold. It is in all their thoughts, excepting, perhaps, a too liberal thought of drink.
Brandon will have receivers built that will take in any wave possible of propagation, and Westfall, the cautious old egg, will have them running twenty-four hours a day, with automatic recorders, finders, and everything else that Brandon can invent and believe me, sweetheart, that's a lot of stuff!"
