CONCLUSION.
Away went the willing men in search of the money, genuine and false, the plates, dies and other things required by the victorious captain.
They found counterfeit money to the great amount of five hundred thousand dollars in bills and coins of various large and small denominations! but what rejoiced the hearts of the seekers was a big pile of genuine bank bills.
These were brought out and laid upon the grass.
