Seeing thar iade tablet took Hannay back to an excitingadvetures he once had in Rhodesia, when this Mine man Haraldsen had been attacked by enemies in a lonely native village. Hannay and a fnend called Lombard had come to his rescue, and af'er a pitched battle the natives had come in on their side and they had won the day.
