“I will accept the fact and forego that test,” declared Prof. Von Bulow. “But what shall we do with it?”
“What?”
“The treasure.”
“Take it aboard the submarine boat, of course; then we can return home as princes and roll in wealth all the rest of our lives.”
Captain Bell’s eyes shone like stars.
It was evident that he set more by the treasure than the others. Frank was wealthy, anyway, and Von Bulow was well-to-do.
Captain Bell, on the other hand, was poor, which explained all.
But before engaging in the transportation of the treasure to the Dart, it was decided to carry the examination of the ship further.
This was done, and from one end to the other it was ransacked.
But nothing more of value was found.
