"The other tale Gold Bricks of Badulla by P. H. Fawcett is about hidden gold in Ceylon. A Sinhalse reveals about the hidden gold to Judge Paterson, who asks his relative, a young army officer, to search for it. Lieutenant Fawcett comes across two gold bricks given to Jumna Das by tribals, in the belief they were iron ingots. The tribals wanted in return bows and arrows. Fawcett goes searching for the spot but mishaps force the local labourers to run away, fearing the curse of the dead."
