David Sheldon hadn't been to the island for over six years, not since his wife had died. The only reason he was returning now was because of a letter sent by Ed Norton, his one time partner in a treasure hunt which had led the two men across the face of the world and ended with his wife's death. The contents of the letter had been exciting enough to bring him half-way across the Pacific Ocean, even to the spot where he had lost the only thing he had ever loved, outside of money.

"Dear Dave," it had read, "First thing, you'll probably wonder why I'm writing you at this time--after such a long silence. But something of great importance has come to my attention and without your help it will be impossible to follow up one of the greatest leads in history. Believe me when I say that I've really hit pay dirt.

"Remember the Henderson expedition into Africa some fifteen years ago? They all disappeared and were never heard from again. All are dead now, except one. This one and only person I've come across and the story the man has to tell is unbelievable! But that's not the important thing. It's what he brought back with him. I can't go into details right here, for several reasons. One is space and time. The other is that I don't want to take the chance of this information getting into the wrong hands.

"Just take my word for it that if you want to get in on one of the biggest stories and adventures you have ever experienced--let alone a fortune that will make both of us rich for the rest of our lives, contact me at the WINTERS HOTEL on Telbrook Island.

"Yours,

"Ed Norton"

It had been enough. Mention of the Henderson expedition was enough in itself. The complete confidence of Norton's words was more than enough to prove to Sheldon that there was more than just a lot of hot tropical air surrounding the South Sea Islands. One thing he knew was that Norton never said anything that wasn't true. If the man claimed that there was treasure or that there was a fortune--that was exactly what there was. So it had been only a matter of a few hours to telegram his friend and then make arrangements for a quick flight to the nearest airport and then connections for a charter boat to Telbrook Island.

Dave expected to find his friend at the dock, waiting for him, or at least somebody to meet him.

There was nobody.
