Unveiling Captain Kidd’s Hidden Treasure: A Detailed Account
The Discovery of the Gold Bug
1. Legrand was a solitary person and didn’t really like people, but he was an interesting and admired person. 2. Jupiter was an old black man who had been a slave in Legrand’s family but was no longer. 3. It is about the size of a hut, and its color is brilliant gold. It’s got two black spots on the other side of its back, and it’s got antennae, but it is solid gold except for the wings. 4. The narrator said that the drawer is a very strange beetle, and he had never seen anything like it before. 5. Legrand’s reaction when he looked at the paper again was perplexed by this anger.
Legrand’s Strange Behavior
1. Strange things about Legrand’s behavior were that Jupiter had never seen him so unhappy, and he was afraid that something serious had happened to Legrand. 2. The narrator was worried because his master was ill. 3. Legrand surprised the narrator because he wrote a note where he said that he had reasons to be worried because Jupiter was going to beat him with a big stick because he thought he was ill. 4. The narrator joined the expedition because Legrand needed the help of someone he could trust, and the narrator at first refused because he was afraid that his friend was insane. Legrand promised the narrator that when he finished the bug business…
The Treasure Hunt Begins
1. The path was where, before they arrived, there was a group of eight or ten smaller trees. 2. The instructions that Legrand gave Jupiter were how high he had to climb. 3. When Jupiter was on the seventh branch, he said to Legrand that he couldn’t go too far along this branch because he was dead. 4. Jupiter saw at the end of the branch a skull, and Legrand then told him to drop the beetle and come down from the tree. 5. After he drew a circle around the piece of wood, he extended the tape measure until it, and later, in the direction established by the tree and the piece of wood in a new place, put another small piece of wood into the ground and drew a circle. 6. They didn’t find the treasure because they had read many stories about treasure, and finally, there was nothing in the ground. 7. They found two complete skeletons, and later they saw gold and silver coins. They found a wooden box where there was a pile of shining gold, gold coins, and jewels. 8. They hid the contents of the box in the bushes.
Deciphering the Code
1. When they got back to the hut, they rested for an hour and then had something to eat, and distributed everything they had found among the three sacks. 2. When Legrand was going to throw the parchment into the fire, he realized that in the drawing of the skull, in the same place he had drawn the bug, the details were very different. 3. It was on the coast of the mainland. 4. The significance of the skull was a sign of pirates, and the fact that it was drawn on parchment was that they used it on all their things. 5. Legrand explained the appearance of the skull because the sign of Captain Kidd was a skull, and the treasure was his. 7. To solve the code, he decided to search in which language the code was written. 8. The alphabet is used in a language, and the letter most used in English is “e”. 9. The possible reason for the skeletons in the hole is that Captain Kidd must have had some help burying the treasure.
