King Solomon's Mines, Chapter 19 summary
Chapter 19 of 22 · 13 min to read the chapter
In Chapter 19, the travelers return to Loo with enough diamonds to make them wealthy, but choose home over Ignosi’s offers to stay. Ignosi reluctantly accepts their departure, bars other white visitors from his land, and provides an escort and guides who help them reach a desert oasis.
What happens
- The travelers fail to reopen the treasure chamber, but the diamonds already carried out promise great wealth.
- At Loo, Ignosi hears their escape story, and an elderly councillor describes Gagool as ancient and wicked.
- Ignosi protests their departure, then accepts their longing for home and forbids other white visitors.
- The travelers leave amid public honors, while Good reluctantly displays his legs at a young woman’s request.
- Infadoos escorts them toward another mountain crossing, receives Good’s spare eyeglass, and bids them farewell.
- Five guides lead them down the cliffs and across the desert until they reach a watered oasis.
