Pierpoint Morgan was that classic American hero, a man born to extreme wealth who by
dint of hard work and ruthlessness multiplies the family fortune till it is out of sight. He
controlled 741 directorships in 112 corporations. He had once arranged a loan to the United
States government that had saved it from bankruptcy. He had single-handedly


stopped the panic of 1907 by arranging for the importation of one hundred million dollars in
gold bullion. Moving about in private railroad cars or yachts he crossed all borders and was at
home everywhere in the world. He was monarch of the invisible, transnational kingdom of
capital - whose sovereignty was everywhere granted. Commanding resources that beggared
royal fortunes, he... left to presidents and kings their territory while he took control of their
railroads and shipping lines, banks and trust companies, industrial plants and public Utilities.
For years he had surrounded himself with parties of friends and acquaintances, always
screening them in his mind for the personal characteristics that might indicate less regard for
him than they admitted. He was invariably dissappointed. Everywhere men deffered to him
and women shamed themselves. He knew as no one else the cold and barren reaches of unlimited
succes. The ordinary operations of his intelligence and instinct over the past fifty years had
made him preeminent in the affairs of nations ind he thought this said little for mankind.

Our visitor glanced with some apparent surprise at the languid, lounging figure of the man
who had been no doubt depicted to him as the most incisive reasoner, and most energetic
agent in Europe. Holmes slowly reopened his eyes, and looked impatiently at his gigantic client.

'If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,' he remarked, 'I should be better able
to advise you.'

The man sprang from his chair,and paced up and down the room in uncontrollable
agitation. Then, with a gesture of desperation, he tore the mask from his face and hurled it
upon the ground. 'You are right,` he cried, 'I am the King. Why should I attempt to conceal
it?'

Men were swarming now over Amphitrite, tearing at her paddle, steriking with any heavy gear
they could find at the brass monster in the deck. The guard that Posthumus had put aboard her
went down in a whirl of limbs. Smoke rose suddenly from her hold and uncoiled. Naked figures
were hurling themselves from her bulwarks while a thin flame, hooded and flickering like a ghost,
shot up amidships. The second warship saw the danger and backed water. Oars smashed against
the quay but her way was checked. A third ship, emerging from the heat haze, crashed into the
second with her ram. More oars smashed; then both ships were locked and drifting helplessly
down on Amphitnte. Posthumus, screammg curses, leapt into the impenal barge.
