Synopsis: "Captain Barclay and mate Allardyce go aboard a Portuguese barque which has foundered in a storm. It is abandoned except for a corpse they find. They carry to portable cargo aboard their ship, including an enormously heavy chest which has a note on saying, Don't open. The second mate, overcome by greed, is discovered dead with his head cloven like the corpse on the wreck." (Books & Boots)
