  Exploring for Diamonds

  Kip had extensive knowledge of the area under exploration, but he had no expertise in creating explosions. He was an expert at import and export and a long-term expatriate with more exposure to life in the jungle than any other foreigner.

  The explosives were Monsieur Philippe's responsibility, and he took exquisite pleasure in the fact. Kip might lead the expedition, but success depended on Philippe. It was a good team.

  As they went deeper and deeper into the exotic jungle, expanding their search, Kip monitored all expenditures as well as the extension of their permit into unknown areas. The scenery was exquisite and Philippe was happy to explore, but they had just extended their permit for the last time and time was expiring; they needed to find what they were looking for.

  When they found it, Monsieur Philippe went to work. Sounds never heard in the jungle followed and they successfully exploited the land for over $10 million worth of rare diamonds. Their return journey was as expedient as possible, so that they would not be expelled from the country without their prize.

  When they exposed the amount of diamonds that they had found at the border, however, they were given trouble. But the permit was explicit that they could take out whatever they found and they were released to return home. The border guards were furious, but their boss, the chief of police, was able to send his whole family to America the following year, never to return.

  勘探鉆石

  基普對正在勘探的地區有全面的了解，但他在引爆方面沒有專長。他是進出口方面的專家，長期移居國外，和其他外國人相比，他接觸了更多的叢林生活。

  炸藥由菲力普先生負責，他非常樂于從事這一工作。基普雖然有可能領導這次探險活動，但這次行動能否成功卻取決于菲力普。這支探險隊很精干。

  隨著探險隊一步一步深入奇異的叢林，擴大他們的搜索范圍，基普既要負責延長他們的許可證，使他們能進入陌生地區，又要監督所有的經費使用情況。叢林景色優美，菲力普很高興有這次探索的機會。不過他們的許可證剛剛做了最后一次延期，現在眼看就要到期了。他們需要找到他們要找的東西。

  找到之后，菲力普先生就去工作了。接著叢林中響起了從未聽到過的聲音，他們成功地開發了這片土地，那上面的稀有鉆石價值超過 1000 萬美元。他們往回撤的時候盡量舉止得當，以免被驅逐出境，空手而歸。

  但是，在邊境他們暴露了找到的鉆石的數量，結果遇到了麻煩。幸好許可證上明確地寫著他們可以將發現的任何東西帶出國境，于是他們被釋放回國。邊境警衛大怒，但他們的上司——警察局長卻于第二年將全家送到了美國，而且他們永遠不會回來了。
