"Why, Huatama," he exclaimed at length, "I am at a loss to express my astonishment. Aladdin's cave was nothing to this, nothing at all!" "Aladdin, did my Lord say?" murmured the Indian, looking enquiringly at Harry. "I do not seem to remember him. Surely he was not a Peruvian? The name does not " "No," answered Harry with a laugh.
Finally, he wrote to Bannister in somewhat similar terms. Then he sent for Huatama, and gave that functionary instructions to withdraw one gold bar from the treasury vaults and have it securely packed in a suitable box for transmission to Europe. These matters attended to, Escombe summoned the Council of Seven to the palace, and held what might be considered his first official conference.
"Aladdin knew nothing of Peru; he was an Eastern a Chinese fellow, or something like that, if I remember rightly." "Ah, yes!" remarked Huatama reflectively; "I have seen a few Chinese, down at Lima and Callao, when I had occasion to go there a year ago on business for the Council of Seven.
But Escombe's powers of admiration were by this time completely exhausted, and after having rather perfunctorily examined and expressed his approval of a few of the finest specimens, and commended the treasure as a whole to the unflagging care of Huatama, he returned to his apartments in the palace and flung himself into a chair to endeavour to convince himself that what he had seen in those rock-hewn chambers below was all prosaically real and not the fantasy of a disordered imagination.
