    hour and then perhaps you will find the gold, but if you hear a whistle when you are about to pick the gold run for your lives." At nine o'clock on that night they three men went to the fort to search for the hidden treasure but there were not long digging untill they heard a whistle. No attempt has ever since been made to unearth it.
