BURIED TREASURE

NEAR NORTHFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS, CAPTAIN KIDD IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE
BURIED A TREASURE AND LEFT A DEAD PIRATE TO GUARD IT. AND IT IS
SAID THAT HIS SHIP CAN BE SEEN COMING UP THE INLET RIVER TO SEE IF
THE LOOT IS SECURE. ONCE CONVINCED THAT THE TREASURE IS SECURE,
THE CAPTAIN AND HIS SHIP LEAVE.

Submitter comment: I HEARD THIS FROM EDWARD ROSE SNOW ON THE RADIO PROGRAM "CONTACT,"
WBZ-RADIO.
