On shipboard at a fancy dress dance the ring was snatched from her by a mysterious masked man, but was later found. Camille is warned by an Indian snake eharmer against keeping the ring. She and Elliot go for moonlight rickshaw ride, and are held up by two men. Glyn, with Camille's help, overpowers them. They tell him they >heard of the ring from it's owner.
