Talbot Mundy's The Caves of Terror — first published as "The Gray Mahatma" in Adventure, 10 November 1922 — is the sixth book in his Yasmini series, and it is told by Ramsden, the narrator of Mundy's Ramsden and King adventures. Meldrum Strange, the man with "a way" with him, sends Ramsden to India with a clipping and an unsigned contract: the two keys to the unrest, King explains, are "The Princess Yasmini and the Gray Mahatma," and the Government dare not arrest either of them without inflaming mob passion. King — "the fellow who went to Khinjan Caves," the best secret service officer the British ever had — signs the contract, and the pair set out after what looks like propaganda but is in fact "a science beyond your knowledge," one that the Mahatma says stands as far in advance of wireless telegraphy as telegraphy does of the semaphore. Far cities, fire-bathers, an earthquake elephant, and at last the Cave of Bones: there a committee of officials is invited to inspect a martyr's skull, kicks it into dust, and asks King whether he has any more marvels to exhibit. "Truly, you know it all," King answers; then he tells Ramsden that they know nothing, which he calls a better place to start from.
