Was Morko dropt overboard? Did a ship or boat sink? Because of bad weather? Was there a battle? Was the owner going to or returning from a campaign? Was Morko war booty? How many were in possession of Morko before it was lost? Who was the original owner? Where was it made? Why is the engraving less than second rate when good craftsmen were available? Was it made in the Middle East by someone unfamiliar with the alphabet? If it had a wooden stock, why didn’t it float and drift onto a shore? What else came up in the net with Morko? Was it charged when it was recovered? What was recorded in 1828? What has been recorded since 1828? We will never know any of the answers to these questions and I seriously doubt anymore translation can effectively be accomplished but we now know more than we did yesterday. Will what I have done, make any difference? I seen me duty and I done it. Now I can sit by my fire and cogitate. |
