Synopsis: Ghanada is furious. Bonowari has thrown away a chunk of glass, thinking it was a piece of a broken glass paperweight. But, according to Ghanada, it was something invaluable. It was a piece of Tektite.

On his way to conquer Asia, Sikandar Shah had destroyed and looted Halicarnassus. A city called Petronium had been built on those ruins. Later, in its usage by Turks, the name ‘Petronium’ became ‘Bodrum’. Ghanada had gone to Bodrum and was living there, under the pretense of doing business of lifting sponges from the sea. He had appointed Uncle Kapkin in his hired boat, to do the job of lifting the sponge. However, Ghanada hadn’t wanted any common sponge; he had needed the real Spongia Officinalis Mollissima, commonly known as a special Turkey cup. Even after two weeks, they hadn’t found any such sponge. Uncle Kapkin had then shared a secret with him. He said, under the sea, he had seen the artifacts of Harappa, Mohenjo-Daro civilizations, and some people were after him to know the location of that hidden treasure, but he hadn’t wished to share it with anyone else. Kapkin had then taken Ghanada to the location and they had planned to go in under the sea the next morning, but during the night, their aqualungs got stolen from their boat and they had to return to Bodrum.

Upon returning to Bodrum, they saw that the fancy ship of Mr. Savage was anchored at the port. Kapkin explained to Ghanada that Mr. Savage was the same person who had wanted to know the location of those artifacts.

After Mr. Savage attacked Uncle Kapkin and sent him to the hospital, Ghanada was infuriated and had gone to Mr. Savage’s ship. After a physical confrontation with Savage’s henchmen, Ghanada had reached Savage himself. Ghanada had demanded that he hand over the artifacts that he had collected from under the sea. Savage had denied knowing about the existence of any such artifacts, and had asked Ghanada to take anything he wanted, from the room. Ghanada had taken the invaluable Tektite and said he would return it only if Savage sent him those artifacts.

After Ghanada finishes telling this story, Bonowari comes back with the lost Tektite that he found on the road, but Ghanada throws it away in disgust.
