V , ': synopsis I While the -China Mail boat is homewardl bound three attempts arefmade to burgle? the Captain's `safe, and Tillizi_ni,. who in- vestigates the matter, learns that the safe; contained a green mail bag addressed to the; Chinese Ambassador. On the boat is Cap-3 tain Talham, -an officer of Irregular Horsel during the South African war, and `after-: wards a general in the Chinese army. Ta!-l I s I I I ham is instrumental in saving a remarkable= girl, Yvonne Yale, from the attentions of 3 three Chinamen; who follow her in Hyde` Park, obviously to secure possession of an .ancient jade bracelet covered with inscrip-. tions in Chinese. The inscription refers to! an Emperor,_and Talham, understanding its! importance, takes charge of the bracelet.` V The green mail bagcontained a document` giving the exact locality of the tomb-of the; first Emperor of China. This tomb"eon-g tains a large quantity of gold and precious? stones. The Chinese Ambassador who is} an historian of some note had written for`; the document to be "sent to him to assist: him in writing an article. This much Til~l lizini discoveris when he calls upon the Am-l bassador. Leaving the Ambassador Tillizini; descends to discover. Talham waiting for; an interview with the former. Whilst Til-1, ' lizini and the Captain are talking a shot is ii ' heard. They rush upstairs to discover their` Ambassador de,ad--;but strangled. The mys- ~ in tery of the shot is unravelled when in the drawer of the bureau is discovered the? body of a Chinaman. The precious d_ocu- 5 .ment has disappeared. Gregory de Costa,a' !the son "of Raymond de Costa, is in love ' lwith Yvonne Yale, but Captain Talham ` {appears 1 the scene and hands over a , l bracelet him. When, however, Ray? mond de Costa shows this bracelet to a 4,` Chinainan called Soc of the Society of Good] l Intention the latter tells him it is the` wrong one. See finds that the man who was shot in the Ambassador's .house was his" brother, who was sent with two. other Chinamen to secure the document. The other men have disappeared. An nnsuc-lg cessful attempt is made on the lives of Tillizini and.'Talham. .Later they make " an" afternoon callitogether at the Yales' E house. Talham and Tillizini make the ae- . quaintance of Miss Yale. Yvonne is ab- t v ducted by Soo and held as a hostage for the 3 recovery of the bangle.
