Trenoweth, of course: Ezekiel Trenoweth come back again after the treasure. But you are too late, too late, too late! You are dead now ha, ha! dead and rotting. "For his glittering eyes are the salt sea's prize, And his fingers clutch the sand, my lads. "Aha! his fingers clutch the sand. Here's pretty sand for you! sand of all colours; look, look, there's a brave sparkle!"
His voice was soft and pleasant as ever, nor could I detect a trace of irony in its tone. But I was on my guard. "'This Peak seems strewn with the handiwork of the heathen, he continued. 'But really you seem to be in luck's way. I congratulate you. What's this? Skeletons, eh? Upon my word, Trenoweth, you've unearthed a treasure. And this? A statue?
"'It is no manner of use, Trenoweth; we're fated to meet. You did not expect to see me here in this get-up; but I learnt last night you were on board. You look as though you had seen a ghost! Don't stare so, man I should say 'sir' now, I suppose it's only another of fortune's rubs.
"From Amos Trenoweth, of Lantrig, in the Parish of Polkimbra and County of Cornwall; to such descendant of mine as may inherit my wealth.
"'I suppose you guess that this was a piece of private business between Amos Trenoweth, deceased, and my father, also deceased. I tell ye frankly, Mr. Trenoweth by the way, what is your Christian name, eh? So you are the Ezekiel mentioned in the Will? Are you a bold man, eh? Well, you look it, at any rate.
Jasper Trenoweth! Peace on earth and good-will You will bear no malice by that time. So a merry Christmas, and a merry Christmas-box! likewise the compliments of the season, and a happy New Year to you! Where are you going to spend Christmas, Mr. Trenoweth eh? I am thinking of passing it by the sea. You will, perhaps, try the sea too, only you will be in it.
He turned still further towards me, and stared without a word, then suddenly spoke again. "What is your name?" Truly this man had the strangest manner of questioning. However, I answered him duly "Jasper Trenoweth." "God in heaven! What?" He had started forward, and was staring at me with a wild surprise.
Still keeping his evil eye upon me, he knelt down by the water's edge and began slowly to bathe the wound. "By the way, boy, what did you say your name was? Jasper? Jasper what?" "Trenoweth." "Ten thousand devils!" He was on his feet, and had gripped me by the shoulder with a furious clutch. I turned sick and cold with terror.
The treasure that lies by Dead Man's Rock is treasure weighted with dead men's curses and stained with dead men's blood wealth won by black piracy upon the high seas gold for which many a poor soul walked the plank and found his end in the deep waters. It is treasure sacked from many a gallant ship, stripped from many a rotting corpse by that black hound your grandfather, Amos Trenoweth.
I'm a fellow of resource, Trenoweth, so I hit on the idea of working my passage home; by good luck found the Belle Fortune was short of hands, offered my services, was accepted having been to sea before, you know sold my old clothes for this costume must dress when one is acting a part and here I am. "'Is Railton with you? I asked. "'Oh, yes, similarly attired.
