"Way to go chicken legs" Dutchy said grinning.
Bird walk up and onto Hammersley while Mike and Kate hug and kiss before Kate walk up and onto Hammersley. Hour later Hammersley left port to head north.
"now here this, bird speaking... We are going to Victoria island for reasons is that my late great grand father left some thing special on the island for me. I found a letter which dated back to world war two, it was written in unknown language. Thanks to friend of General O'Neill he was able to translate the letter for me. In the letter it said timing is important. He left clues in the letter to find this special gift. I'm asking for volunteers to go to the island with me. If you want to go, let the captain know before we reach the island in eight hours, that is all" then she put the microphone back in it spot.
When Hammersley was close to the island, bird was sitting in the captain seat was reading the first clue that her great grand father mention in the letter.
"sea X marks the beginning" Bird said she stood up and walk out side looking at the island.
"Bird" Kate said Bird turn to Kate
"Have you work out the first clue"
"i think so can we go around the island"

"Ok" Kate walk back onto the bridge while bird was looking at the island when Dutchy walk out and stood next to her
"Are you ok" He asked
"Yeah, I'm wondering what my great grand father left me and why on this island"
"Who knows bird, you know you can count on me" Bird smile
"Yes I know Dutchy" she said looking at him then turn to look at the island when she raise her binoculars
"Stop all engines" Bird yell out
"bird" Dutchy said. She pass him the binoculars
"there" she pointed to the island when Kate and some of the crew walk out to the side of the bridge just as the engines stop
"Bird" Kate asked
"there, see two trees cross over" Kate and the others raise there binoculars to see two palm trees crossing over to look like and X
"Your right bird" then they walk in side where Kate called for hands to boarding station.
Twenty minutes later two HRIBS landed on the beach. Both teams got onto the beach with Dutchy carrying bird off the HRIBS and putting her on the sand.
"thanks Dutchy" then she got her letter out and she walk towards and under the two tress.
She look at the next clue then she look around as she step ford till she found what she was looking for and walk over to it quickly then she look at the next clue. Hour and a half later they stop at a cliff face
"It here" Bird said looking at it then she walk up to the cliff and look at it closely then she walk along the cliff face till she stop and move furn a side then she took a few steps back and smile
"found it" they walk over to her
"where" two dads asked
"it in front of me, it the cliff face see where it all brown clay mud... there is dirty mix with clay"
Dutchy step ford and saw the different so he got his knife out and started moving the dirt then the others did as well for fifteen minutes
"Hey I'm braking through here" Swain said so every one went over to where swain is and help him when they saw the hole forming. So they quickly made the hole bigger. When done
"I'll go first" Dutchy said
"Be careful" Bird said
"I will" then he walk up and climb through the hole after getting his torch out and turning it on.
He look around the passageway he walk down the small slope till he hit rock bottom then he took one step at a time ford till he came to the end of the passageway and into a large craven. Dutchy shine his torch around in shock
"Dutchy" bird said bird called out from the hole
"It safe, some one contact Hammersley we going to need a lot of navy help here" Dutchy yelled back.
Then the others walk to where Dutchy is and shine there torches around "holly shit, bird there must be billions of dollars worth of treasure here, you will be the riches person in the world" Two dads said when they saw gold, gems and jewelery every where
"where did all of this come from" Charge asked
"I don't know charge, but from the letter my great grand father found it when the ship he was on stop here for some R and R. He must of stumble across it so he left all those marks and clues in the letter"
"come on lets head back to the ship" Dutchy said
"Good idea" Bird said then they all return the way they came.
When they return back to Hammersley and they all had a special shower on the back of Hammersley before going to get change. When bird walk up onto the bridge Kate was on the phone
