22Dirk Learns About The Treasure

All aboard for the transcribed premier production, the crews of the Paul Parrot. That exciting story about a whaling crew that resulted in an exciting hunt for buried treasure. After capturing the old man Ezekiel Kipp, who tells them about the diamond mine on Galtal Island, which has been covered by a landslide, the party returns to the Paul Parrot and sets sail for Ascension Island to purchase explosives in order to recover the treasure.

Arriving at their port, they discover that wealthy friends of Captain Dalton were being attacked by privateers. And last we left Jane Su, Captain Dalton and the rest. They have frustrated the attack of the privateers.

But in so doing, little Su-grange, attempting to save the life of Captain Dalton, had run between him and the chief of the privateers, Dirk Briscoe, who were having a fight on the beach. Briscoe draws a concealed pistol from his shirt and fires.

Sue drops to the ground, and Briscoe's attention is distracted just long enough for Captain Dalton to put a finishing blow to the privateer's chin that lays him low. Amid much excitement, Captain Dalton shouts, Bless you, Dirk Briscoe! If little Sue is badly hurt, I'll do it!

Sue! Sue, are you hurt by him? Aah! Aah! Oh, my poor little Sue, why did you run in the line of fire? Let me out of Mr. Grange. I'll see how badly injured she is.

I'm not injured at all, Captain Dauch! But Sue, you fell! You must be hurt! Sue, are you sure? Isra, I'm not hurt! I fell so that private-haired Briscoe would think he shocked me in a true-moth card!

Blow me down, what a lass! Oh, Sue, that was quick thinking for sure! Lush me to a yard on the head, once. Ah! Sue, you've given me enough scares to take ten years off my life since we've been on this cruise.
