For the Colonel, although in all respects a very fine man, had too much regard for his daughter's future welfare to allow him even to countenance the idea of giving either of them to a man not properly able to support them. Since the Colonel was a man who always believed in saying exactly what he thought, he made no bones about telling the young men exactly where they stood. The next evening, as Bob and Frank were sitting by their camp fire, they saw a small sloop with an old man at the wheel, plunging heavily in the breakers, a few hundred yards from shore. They signaled to him to come in, but he refused with a shake of the head. The next morning, there was no sign of the sloop, but there was wreckage on the beach, and in it the boys found a paper written in Spanish. They submitted this paper to a Cuban beachcomber, named Mendez. He read a portion of it aloud, and then stopped, claiming that he could not understand it. Luckily, one of the Fairfield girls could read Spanish. They showed the paper to her, and to their astonishment discovered that it revealed the location of treasure buried some distance down the beach. For the excitement of the thing, the young people went to the given location and started digging. After a time, they unearthed a chest. Just as they discovered that it was filled with gold pieces, Mendez and a couple of villainous compatriots appeared in a launch. The Cuban and his companions were armed, and after a useless attempt at flight, there seemed nothing left to do but surrender the treasure. But fortunately, just at this moment, Colonel Fairfield came on the scene in a powerful steam launch and Mendez fled. The Colonel was at first very angry, but the sight of the treasure caused him to modify his wrath, and somewhat change his attitude toward the young men.
