And what was the product of their toil that had
given Goliah the wealth necessary to realize his plans? Commercial
radium, the newspapers proclaimed; and radiyte, and radiosole, and
argatium, and argyte, and the mysterious golyte (that had proved so
valuable in metallurgy). These were the new compounds, discovered in
the first decade of the twentieth century, the commercial and
scientific use of which had become so enormous in the second decade.
The line of fruit boats that ran from Hawaii to San Francisco was
declared to be the property of Goliah. This was a surmise, for no
other owner could be discovered, and the agents who handled the
shipments of the fruit boats were only agents. Since no one else
owned the fruit boats, then Goliah must own them. The point of which
is: THAT IT LEAKED OUT THAT THE MAJOR PORTION of THE WORLD'S SUPPLY
IN THESE PRECIOUS COMPOUNDS WAS BROUGHT TO SAN FRANCISCO BY THOSE
VERY FRUIT BOATS. That the whole chain of surmise was correct was
proved in later years when Goliah's slaves were liberated and
honourably pensioned by the international government of the world.
