Me M'Adams has the iden that someone, perhaps an East Indian devotee, a Buddhist priest, followed him first to New York on his quest for the vem, and then to Boston, awaiting his chance to steal the pearl. Mr M'Adama says that, as the temporary posseseor the blus pearl, he was only an agent, a messenger. He was acting for Major Pirie, of the 17th Lancers. Major Pirie, in turn, is acting for a arm of English solicitors,
