"A week or more passed，Jose Silvester came back but he was ill badly．I took him into my tent．The next morning when I awoke．He was looking at the mountains．‘There it is!' he cried，‘but I shall never get there．I am dying'"．
"He took out an old map to me，'This map has been in my family for hundreds of years，'he said，'it will make you the richest in the world．'Then he died．"
I took the map out of my pocket and passed to Sir Henry．Sir Henry read the writing："Fam Silverter．I am in a cave north of the mountain．I am dying of hunger．With my own eyes I have seen the diamonds in Solomon's treasure cave behind the white Death．If you do find it，you will be a rich man!"
I took back the map and put it in my pocket．
