[The Von Toodleburgs by F. Colburn Adams]@TWC D-Link bookThe Von Toodleburgs CHAPTER XXXV 1/9
CHAPTER XXXV. HOW HE GOT AWAY FROM THE ISLAND. When supper was over, Tite proceeded to give his parents an account of the voyage, and the manner of escaping from the island with the treasure.
The reader has already heard that portion which carries the story up to the death of old Dunman, the pirate.
It will be only necessary then to give that part of it which relates to what took place afterward. "Poor old Dunman," said Tite, "he was so kind to us all, and tried so much to relieve our sufferings and make us feel contented that we all liked him, and felt his death was a severe loss to us.
There was something so terrible in the story of his life that we used to talk about it at night, and fancy all sorts of strange spirits haunting the place where his money was buried.
It was this that made us all impatient to get away from the dreary place.
