![]() ![]() The thorns were similar to those the Dyaks poison and use in their blowing tubes. ![]() ![]() Now, he understood the meaning of dashes on the map. He compared this situation with the chinaman. Hooker again looked at the pillar of the tree and creeper stems. He looked at the thorn for some time and saw the situation of Evans. “Put the gold back on the coat.” Hooker took the gold in the jacket but a slender thorn, perhaps two inches in length prick ( चुम्बन) on his hand. “Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me!” said Evans in a stifled voice. After walking some steps, Evans’s arms were aching, his face became white and a little drop of sweat stood out on his forehead. They both lift the jacket from both sides in which the ingot was put. Then Hooker was convinced and ready to go. Evans convinces him by saying some poisonous snake bites the chinaman. He only looked at the chinaman dead body yet. But the Hooker does nothing at this moment. He takes out the thorn from his finger and lifted the ingot from the whole. During clearing the hole, a little thorn pricked his hand. Evans cleared the hole with his bare hand. They were quite surprised after seeing him there. It’s the dead body that looks like a chinaman. When they went a little downstream, they find something blue. During walking sometimes in the jungle, they find the stream. He paused their Canoe at a place and went toward the jungle in the search of the opening of the reef and the bushes in a straight line as shown on the map. They both drink the water from that river and ran their canoe. They pass the bushes and came to a river (नदी). There is also three palm tree as shown on the map and a number of bushes around. They were near the lagoon (meaning: a small freshwater lake near a larger lake or river). He saw a heap and heap of gold there which turned into a vast devil-like Chang-hi with a huge black tail.Įvans was speaking in the dream. Suddenly, Chang-hi opened his eyes and laughed. Suddenly the Evans dream shifted to a moment where he had Chang-hi’s pigtail in his hand. He wants help to return and exhume (निकाल्नु) it back. Chang-hi reburied it in a secret and safe place. This treasure was of the Spanish galleon which was shipwrecked (जहाज भत्किएको) nearly 200 years ago. ![]() They say three Chinese men were talking about the treasure. In his dream, his friend Hooker was also present. He tried to direct his mind to the ingots but can’t because of the dryness of his throat and lip. Hooker turned the paddle of the Canoe.Įvans looks exhausted because of long the voyage from the mainland in the unprovisioned canoe. They didn’t pay much attention to the dotted line. They wait for a while and started their journey to the island as shown on the map. When Evans asked Hooker, what the dotted line represents and what type the writing is? Hooker replied it’s Chinese. They only mark the place lagoon (meaning: a small freshwater lake near a larger lake or river). There is a blue star just where it cuts the river. Like the curve and twisting line in the river.Ī man with the map said to his partner you can see this dotted line which was straight and ran from the opening of the reef (समद्री चट्टान) to a clump(समुह) of palm trees. Evans study the map and ran his thumbnail over the chart for the notion of different symbols on the map. On a map, there is the outline of the island. They got this map by robbing and murdering a chinaman. The story starts with the two-man (Evans and Hooker) who went on a voyage with an improvised Canoe (boat) with a map. ![]()
