The report on the value of the stones carried from the treasure
temple by the two boys was such that Senor Oje gave them his check
for $25,000. Out of this each boy contributed part of his share
toward a sum sufficient to give Elmer a business education. Finally
the two boys bought a draft for a thousand dollars, payable to
Robert Russell. With it went this note: "Please accept this as some
slight compensation for the story you did not get."
But in good time Bob Russell did get his story. For, otherwise,
this narrative would never have been written.
How it came about that Bob got his story; how the treasure left in
the Turquoise Temple was finally lifted; how the young aeronauts in
doing it battled successfully with a maelstrom in the clouds, were
driven far out over the Pacific, cast away on a derelict and finally
made an escape with their "sneering idol" by aeroplane into the
wilds of Mexico, is a later and more remarkable chapter in the
adventures of Ned Napier and Alan Hope, to be told in "The Air-Ship
Boys Adrift, or Saved by an Aeroplane."
