“Which we will do!” declared Frank.
But first refreshments were had, and all took a few hours of sleep. Much recuperated, the journey was continued some while later.
The Dart went on an exploring tour now in the vicinity of the sunken wreck.
In all directions the search for the Virgin was made.
And fortune favored the searchers. Suddenly the wreck was sighted.
It had been difficult to find for the fact that the shifting sands had nearly covered the hull.
The many years which had elapsed had caused the masts and rigging to fall and partly decay.
But Captain Bell declared it his confident belief that it was the Virgin.
“I know her by the outline of her bow and her figurehead,” he declared; “that’s the old pirate, for sure!”
At once the Dart anchored near the treasure ship.
