Pirate treasure! They were going to dig for pirate treasure! "We shall need a spade. I trust you will arrange for it, my boy?" "Of course, Phoenix," said David, jumping to his feet. "I'll get everything ready right away. Don't move till I get back." "Impossible, my boy." The Phoenix groaned as it shifted into a more comfortable position.

oenix in a maddening way. "Control your impatience. You will see. Now, we shall have to buy some things, so we shall need money. Let me see.... Several of the Leprechauns have large pots of gold.... No, I fear they would not part with so much as a penny. Tightfisted, my dear fellow!--you never saw such misers. Hmmm.... Well, there are the Dragons, of course; they guard heaps of treasure in caves. But no--they are excellent chaps in most respects, but frightfully stuffy about loans and gifts. No.... The Djinn? No, his money is all tied up in Arabian oil speculation. Aha! Why didn't I think of that before? The Sea Monster, of course!" "Do Sea Monsters have money?" asked David. "No, but the Sea Monster should know where pirate treasure is buried--quite in its nautical line. We shall visit the Monster, my boy. Tomorrow, of course--I could not fly a foot today to save my life. My muscles are killing me!" "Oh, poor Phoenix!" David said. But he was so excited that he could not feel much pity.
