Esie Brandon receives a letter from her tinele in South Africa
telling her that he has found a huge diamond in the rough which he
is shipping to America in a kaffir’s skull, addressing the package to
an assumed name at the express office. His reason for doing this is
that a man named Healy is trying to steal the diamond. He adds
that he will 'follow on a later steamer and claim the package. Six
months aftefwards Elsie and Jack Dwyer, a young law student, who
loves her but is too poor to many, go to meet the steamer on which
the girl’s uncle is expected to return. He fails to appear and they
learn of the disappearnce of a man overboard whose description
corresponds with that of Mr. Brandon. Not knowing the assumed
name, they cannot claim the package containing the diamond.
They attend a sale of unclaimed packages at the Express Company’s
office, in the vain hope of identifying the package. The eagerness
of a rough looking man in the crowd to buy a certain box, gives
them a clue and they manage to bid him down and get away with
the box It proves to contain the skull and the diamond. Elsie per-
suades Dwyer to take the gem for safe keeping. He is shadowed to
his lodging, however, by the defeated bidder who is none other than
Healy. Elsie fearing this very thng, follows after, summoning the
police. Healey’s arrest follows, which results in his conviction of the
murder of Brandon on shipboard. Elsie and Dwyer sell the diamond
and start married life with a fortune.
