Book 8: Chapter 27 Summary
Poop deck of the Minerva, the Pool of London, Oct. 26, 1714
The king has ordered that Daniel's cabin be searched aboard the Minerva in case he has hidden gold there. All of Daniel's lodgings in London are searched, as well as the guns aboard the Minerva in case one has been made of gold and painted black. Sir Isaac leads the search and when nothing is found he suffers what Daniel at first believes to be a stroke.
Book 8: Chapter 27 Analysis
