"In the cave of Steenfoll."
"How can I recover it?"
"A goose dives into the abyss for a herring; is not the treasure of the Carmilhan of as much value?"
"How much of it shall I recover?"
"More than you will ever spend."
The little man in yellow grinned horribly at this reply, while all the others laughed aloud.
"Are you through?" inquired the commander, further.
"I am. Farewell!"
"Farewell, until we meet again!" replied the Dutchman, and turned to go; the musicians took the lead again, and the whole procession marched away in the same order in which it had come, and with the same solemn song, which grew ever fainter and fainter in the distance, until finally it was lost in the roar of the breakers.
