All the men of the Queen Anne were waiting on deck
when Captain Scott returned. One of them yelled to the
boats after he saw the chest.
"What have you brought us there, Captain?"
Another man answered:
"It's gold and rubies and diamonds!"
The captain didn't want the men to get too excited,
because he didn't know if he should keep the treasure.
"That's enough. I want that treasure taken below with our
own gold until I decide what we'U do with it."
Two men carried the chest below with Blackbeard still on
Lop of it. A man named Stubbs spoke to the captain about the
treasure.
"Will we give a little of it to each of the men for the long
journey?"
"I don't know. I've got a strange feeling about that
treasure, but I'm not sure why. I think it's better to leave it
alone for a while."
"But Captain, we've been sailing for seventeen days and
we still haven't seen an island. The men need some
t· rrcou rage men t."
"The men shall carry out their duties and be happy with
1 hat. 1 hey will get exactly what I promised them."
· rhe two men who carried Blackbeard and his treasure
hrlow put the chest down to wait for the captain. One of the
nrc rt, mith, sat on the chest to tie his shoe. The other was
standing ,smokin a pipe. Blackbeard stood and watched the men with a smile on his face. He knew they cou ldn't see him ,
so he kn ocked Smith's hat off his head. Smith thought the
othe r man did it.
"What do you think yo u' re doing?"
"What a re you talking abo ut?"
"You knocked my hat off."
"You're crazy. I was ·tancling here smoking my pipe."
The men were about to fi ght when Captain Scott walked
