But the writer produces the inevitable mystery in the shape of a genie's chest, in which is found a wishing ring. The sailor has four wishes, one of which turns the monkey into a human companion a sort of man Friday, and another whisks the two off on a magic carpet to the Orient in search of adventure. As the two men tumble into the scene before the gates of Baghdad they are taken prisoners and are borne off to the Sultan who, learning of the wishing ring, decides to commute a sentence of death to a life of happiness and ease, providing they find a rare pearl stolen by a dragon in the mountain. As a reward the Sultan promises the sailor his daughter, a beautiful princess, for his wife. With such a prize in view, the sailor sets off with his companion to search for the pearl. They find the dragon, and just as he is about to attack them they pour the Tabasco sauce down his throat and he coughs up the pearl. As they see with the gem they look back and see the monster being consumed by lire from the burning condiment. Seeking the Sultan to claim the reward, the sailor discovers the supposed beautiful princess to be an unprepossessing old woman; so turning his companion back into a monkey, he sets sail on the magic carpet for New York, intending to dispose of the pearl. He takes it to a pawnshop, only to find the gem is a counterfeit and is worth only 30 cents. Written by Evening public ledger (December 11, 1915) See less
