Lost Jewels Summary
The False GemsMonsieur Lantin had met the young girl at a reception at the house of thesecond head of his department, and had fallen head over heels in lovewith her.She was the daughter of a provincial tax collector, who had been deadseveral years. She and her mother came to live in Paris, where thelatter, who made the acquaintance of some of the families in herneighborhood, hoped to find a husband for her daughter.They had very moderate means, and were honorable, gentle, and quiet.The young girl was a perfect type of the virtuous woman in whose handsevery sensible young man dreams of one day intrusting his happiness.Her simple beauty had the charm of angelic modesty, and the imperceptiblesmile which constantly hovered about the lips seemed to be the reflectionof a pure and lovely soul. Her praises resounded on every side. Peoplenever tired of repeating: 'Happy the man who wins her love! He could notfind a better wife.'

History Channel What is Oak Island?Often referred to as the Money Pit, Oak Island is a mysterious island in Nova Scotia. And, rumor has it, an incredible treasure was once buried on the island. But, that’s not even all of what makes the Oak Island mystery so fascinating. From Rick and Marty Lagina’s treasure hunt on The Curse of Oak Island to Marie Antoinette’s lost jewels, we share some of the most interesting facts (and rumors) about Oak Island, ahead. ‘The Curse of Oak Island’With so many interested in the Oak Island treasure, it should come of no surprise that History Channel jumped on board when brothers (and treasure hunters) Rick and Marty Lagina excavated the property in hopes of finding the buried treasure. The Curse of Oak Island is currently in its sixth season and the Lagina brothers have found many promising artifacts, including a gemstone that might be connected to Marie Antoinette and a cross that resembles connections to the Knights Templar.
Knights TemplarOne of the most well-known and widely believed Oak Island theories says that the Knights Templar buried treasure and artifacts on the infamous island. Some believe the Holy Grail and Ark of the Covenant were in their possession and could be buried hundreds of feet deep in the Money Pit.The Knights Templar have a close connection with the Freemasons and some treasure hunters admit that the island is no stranger to Freemasonry symbolism. Pirate treasureAnother known theory is that pirates buried their treasure on Oak Island. After all, some of its original settlers — including Captain James Anderson — were pirates.
One rumor suggests Captain William Kidd (a famous pirate) buried his treasure just east of Boston, which lines itself up to Oak Island.That said, the pirates were likely there in search of treasure — not just burying it. Albeit a popular Oak Island theory, many don’t think pirates had the ability to construct something like the Money Pit. Marie Antoinette’s jewelsThe last queen of France might have asked to bury her jewels on Oak Island.
In ‘The Lost Jewels’ (1898), the story opens with the narrator stopping by a village ghat with his big boat and being accosted by a local schoolmaster with such an ‘unnatural brightness in his large eyes’ that the narrator is compelled to comment: ‘He made me think of the Ancient Mariner of the English poet Coleridge’ (Rabindranath Tagore: An Anthology, 303). Two children are fishing when they catch a talking fish named Red Lantern. He takes them underwater with him to the Land of the Lost, where missing items can be found again. They meet King Find All, a walrus, and a singing cricket (Hoppy-Go-Lucky) that used to be the girl's pin.
Rumor has it, France’s last queen gave her jewels to an entrusted woman during the French Revolution. The woman was later spotted in Nova Scotia and Marie Antoinette’s jewels were never seen again.

Samuel BallDespite who’s treasure it is, one thing is for certain: There is treasure on the island — or at least there was. Many of its past residents mysterious came into money, including Samuel Ball, who was a former slave that escaped to Nova Scotia after the Revolutionary War. Ball mysteriously came into money and some historians and Oak Island theorists believe his wealth has something to do with the Oak Island treasure. Viking connectionAnother popular Oak Islan theory suggests that the so-called Money Pit as a Viking ship buried underneath it.
Theorists believe it sunk in the quicksand-like land on Oak Island and, in the process of sinking, flipped over vertically. Shakespeare’s manuscriptsIf this theory is true, Shakespeare is not who we think it is. Some Oak Island theorists think that a 16th-century author named Sir Francis Bacon was actually Shakespeare. With that in mind, they think that Bacon could have buried Shakespeare’s manuscripts in the Money Pit. Rick Lagina and crew discovered parchment paper while filing The Curse of Oak Island, which added fuel to the alleged theory.Check out on Facebook!
