If no one finds it first, we've lost nothing.

That's plain.

But if my Cobre friends--the push that railroaded Stan to jail--if they should find that place while I'm back in New York, and little Jackson Carr working on it--Good-bye, Jackson Carr! They'd kill you without a word.

That's another thing I'm going back to New York for besides getting money.

There's something behind Stanley's jail trip besides the copper proposition; and that something is back in New York.
