The Lost Treasure

Dr. Samuel Lee took a swig of water from his Camelbak and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his wrist. The summer heat in the middle of the jungle was starting to wear him down – and the heavily packed rucksack definitely wasn’t helping. Dr. Lee slashed his way through a growth of vines with his silver machete, inherited from his late grandfather and renowned treasure hunter, Sir Jameson P. Lee. Lee’s grandfather discovered a sunken ship, captained by the infamous pirate Blackbeard, off the coast of Argentina with around $2.5 million worth of pirate plunder – including this silver machete.
