“Aye aye sir” answered John Towers & the boat was brought to a stand
still Captain Jones reached out his hand for the object which he now

Dear Searcher excuse me for the practical joke I have played on you
but it serves you right to find nothing for your foolish act—
“Well it does” said Capt Jones “go on”
However I will defray your expenses to & from the place you found
your bottle I think it will be $25.0.00 so that amount you will find
in an Iron box I know where you found the bottle because I put this
bottle here & the iron box & then found a good place to put the
second bottle hoping the enclosed money will defray your expenses
some I close—Anonymus”
“I’d like to kick his head off” said Capt Jones “Here diver go & get
the $25.0.00 in a minute the diver came up bearing an iron box inside
it was found $25.0.00 It defrayed their expenses but I hardly think
that they will ever go to a mysterious place as directed by a
mysterious bottle.
