    Once upom a time a ship was sailing from England to America.

    It had a rich cargo worth ove a million pounds. When it was passing the west Indian Islands a hurricane accured. The ship was driven between two cliffs. It hit a rock and a hole came into the bottom of it and it sunk. The treasure went along with it. As it was so deep divers were not able to get to it. A comany of men came to the Island and started to dig through the rock to the bottom of the sea. When they were just beside it rocks fell from the roof and killed a man. They stoped then. It is still there
