The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Tarzan the Untamed by Edgar Rice Burroughs: yellowed sheets closely written upon in a fine hand in a lan-
guage which he guessed to be Spanish but which he could not
decipher. Upon the last sheet was a roughly drawn map with
numerous reference points marked upon it, all unintelligible to
Tarzan, who, after a brief examination of the papers, returned
them to their metal case, replaced the top and was about to
toss the little cylinder to the ground beside the mute remains
of its former possessor when some whim of curiosity unsatisfied
prompted him to slip it into the quiver with his arrows, though
as he did so it was with the grim thought that possibly cen-
turies hence it might again come to the sight of man beside
