Dantes rapidly cleared away the earth around the chest.  Soon
the center lock appeared, then the handles at each end, all
delicately wrought in the manner of that period when art made
precious even the basest of metals.  He took the chest by the
two handles and tried to lift it, but it was impossible.  He
tried to open it; it was locked.  He inserted the sharp end
of his pickaxe between the chest and the lid and pushed down
on the handle.  The lid creaked, then flew open.
Dantes was seized with a sort of giddy fever.  He cocked his
gun and placed it beside him.  The he closed his eyes like a
child, opened them and stood dumbfounded.
The chest was divided into three compartments.  In the first
were shining gold coins.  In the second, unpolished gold
ingots packed in orderly stacks.  From the third compartment,
which was half full, Dantes picked up handfuls of diamonds,
pearls and rubies.  As they fell through his fingers in a
glittering cascade, they gave forth the sound of hail beating
against the windowpanes.
