Ghost Mine Episode 10

Completing Jeremiah's map

Even Linda is quiet as Laura pulls out an old tin box from the hole in the cavern wall.

The others hold their breath as she brushes dust and dirt from around the lock and then opens the lid.

Inside is a cracked metal cup, rusty keys on a ring and a folded piece of parchment. Ben takes this out gently and unfolds it.

Bigger map

	“It’s the other half of Jeremiah’s map.”
	“We guessed right about the clue at the top – there’s the missing words ”
	“It shows his mine from the entrance on the mountain to the main tunnel. And there’s another cavern besides this one.”
	“I bet the treasure is in there."
	“It says ‘Those who walk to the right hand of God will follow the narrow path.’ What does that mean?”
	“And right at the bottom ‘Greed has started this and greed will end it.’ With Jeremiah’s initials.”
	“Another cryptic clue – just what we need.”
	“One of the keys might fit the padlock on that gate we passed. Brad, you carry the key ring in case we find more locks. And Ben, you carry this map piece.”
	“We need to find another way out of this cavern. There’s probably another sun sign. Let’s start looking again, folks!”

The others groan and start searching the walls again.

Will they get out of this cavern into the rest of Jeremiah’s tunnel? What is in the second cavern? What are the other keys for?
