midnight
And they saw , seated in a stone chair , a skeleton with a gold crown on its head and a great carved seal in its hand , and at its feet there was a stone casket . The casket was broken open , and it was full of gold and jewels . Well , they took all the gold and jewels , and buried the skeleton -- and now , -- do you know what happens ? At midnight a number of strange persons are seen searching on the shore and among the rocks for the lost treasure , and it is said they often utter cries of anger and despair . And those who robbed the tomb all died suddenly . '' `` Served them right ! '' said Lorimer .
