The island, after all, was the secret hiding place for Captain Owen Lloyd in 1750, when he and ten pirates buried 44 wooden chests of stolen silver, but Henry O. Creque stayed silent as the rumors swirled around town.
Did Creque really find a stash of precious coins in a dimly-lit cavern?

- They may reveal the closely guarded secret her ancestor was trying to keep!
