An English sailor is enlisted by a friend to help locate a treasure hidden beneath a statue of a white elephant near Lucknow, India. The sailor, Sulky, had learned of the treasure from a Rajah he had helped escape during the Sepoy Rebellion, and has finally returned to find it. A cobra ends his dream and the narrator turns the treasure over to its rightful owner. (PB)
