The
story
he
told
was
merely
one
of
shipwreck
in
which
all
but
a
few
had
perished
,
the
balance
,
except
himself
,
dying
after
they
reached
the
island
.
He
did
not
mention
the
mutiny
or
the
chest
of
buried
treasure
.
The
master
of
the
merchantman
assured
him
that
from
the
position
at
which
they
had
picked
him
up
,
and
the
prevailing
winds
for
the
past
week
he
could
have
been
on
no
other
island
than
one
of
the
Cape
Verde
group
,
which
lie
off
the
West
Coast
of
Africa
in
about
16
degrees
or
17
degrees
north
latitude
.
His
letter
described
the
island
minutely
,
as
well
as
the
location
of
the
treasure
,
and
was
accompanied
by
the
crudest
,
funniest
little
old
map
you
ever
saw
;
with
trees
and
rocks
all
marked
by
scrawly
X
's
to
show
the
exact
spot
where
the
treasure
had
been
buried
.
When
papa
explained
the
real
nature
of
the
expedition
,
my
heart
sank
,
for
I
know
so
well
how
visionary
and
impractical
the
poor
dear
has
always
been
that
I
feared
that
he
had
again
been
duped
;
especially
when
he
told
me
he
had
paid
a
thousand
dollars
for
the
letter
and
map
.
To
add
to
my
distress
,
I
learned
that
he
had
borrowed
ten
thousand
dollars
more
from
Robert
Canler
,
and
had
given
his
notes
for
the
amount
.
Mr.
Canler
had
asked
for
no
security
,
and
you
know
,
dearie
,
what
that
will
mean
for
me
if
papa
can
not
meet
them
.
Oh
,
how
I
detest
that
man
!
We
all
tried
to
look
on
the
bright
side
of
things
,
but
Mr.
Philander
,
and
Mr.
Clayton
--
he
joined
us
in
London
just
for
the
adventure
--
both
felt
as
skeptical
as
I.
Well
,
to
make
a
long
story
short
,
we
found
the
island
and
the
treasure
--
a
great
iron-bound
oak
chest
,
wrapped
in
many
layers
of
oiled
sailcloth
,
and
as
strong
and
firm
as
when
it
had
been
buried
nearly
two
hundred
years
ago
.
It
was
SIMPLY
FILLED
with
gold
coin
,
and
was
so
heavy
that
four
men
bent
underneath
its
weight
.
The
horrid
thing
seems
to
bring
nothing
but
murder
and
misfortune
to
those
who
have
anything
to
do
with
it
,
for
three
days
after
we
sailed
from
the
Cape
Verde
Islands
our
own
crew
mutinied
and
killed
every
one
of
their
officers
.
