Excerpt from Chapter 2, THE
TREASURE HUNTERS
"Someone's coming," Hugh
whispered. "Do you think they are searching for the masked bandit's
treasure, too?" They turned and peered over the creek bank to see if they
could spot the intruder. They saw a black figure through the dense foliage.
Could it be the masked bandit himself, come to dig up his treasure?
Occasionally, the figure stopped, bent down and picked something off the
forest floor. Maybe it was looking for clues that marked the spot of the
buried gold. The boys, peering over the bank of the creek, felt their hearts
pounding inside their chests. As the dark cloaked figure turned towards
them, they ducked down. Thomas thought there was something familiar about
the figure. It wasn't the masked bandit at all - it was Father Neumann on
one of his plant-collecting expeditions.
