Excerpt from The Mask: A Story of Love and Adventure

Advices from Cape Town report the finding on a farm near Fontein, a hundred miles north of here, of a diamond which in size is only sec ond to the famous Koh-i-noor. The stone, which is in the shape of an egg with the top cut off, weighs carats, and was discovered after blasting at the' foot of some rocks on land ad j acent to the tract owned by the americo-african Mining Company of New York. It is understood that the American Company is negotiating for the property; some say the transfer has already been made. If this is true, the finding of this colossal stone means a windfall for the Yankee stockholders.

Excerpt from The Mask: A Story of Love and Adventure

There! What did I tell you? The news is out!"

With a muttered exclamation of annoyance, Kenneth Traynor put down his coffee cup with a crash and, leaning over the table, pointed out to his wife a despatch from London, given prominence in the morning paper, which ran as follows:

Advices from Cape Town report the finding on a farm near Fontein, a hundred miles north of here, of a diamond which in size is only second to the famous Koh-i-noor. The stone, which is in the shape of an egg with the top cut off, weighs 1,649 carats, and was discovered after blasting at the foot of some rocks on land adjacent to the tract owned by the Americo-African Mining Company of New York. It is understood that the American Company is negotiating for the property; some say the transfer has already been made. If this is true, the finding of this colossal stone means a windfall for the Yankee stockholders.
