The "stuff" was there, all of it, though the mass had been cut into quarters, three parts of it stowed in tea-flails, the fourth still reeved up in the hammock netting. "We've got it!" he cried to Moran, who had followed him. "We've got it, Moran! Over $100,000. We're rich rich as boodlers, you and I. Oh, it was worth fighting for, after all, wasn't it?
