They crawl out from underneath the boulder and spend about an hour getting warm and dry by the fire before the older Mister Harbor returns. He has in tow the full anthropological team that Quentin had brought to study the pirate cove and catalogue any treasure once it was located. He was sure they would be thrilled to work to find out everything that happened within the cave over the coming months.

Of course, the treasure was among the first things brought up from the cave. Both Claire and Gareth invited to participate in the opening of the door. The crates and chests opened up and much as they'd predicted, some goods were no longer in good shape. But there was quite a lot of silver, gems, and yes even gold within those boxes. The estimated value of everything once it was all brought to the surface and properly cataloged came close to two hundred and fifty thousand pounds.

True to his word Quentin awarded some additional shares of the treasure, though he was sure to make sure that no one knew how much they got except for himself. Gareth was awarded five shares total. Which came out to about 12,500. (About a million and a half in modern terms.) Claire was awarded seven shares of treasure or around 17,500 pounds. (Coming in at over two million pounds modern.) Finally Quentin kept ten shares for himself and the and the remainder was a donation to the British National Museum.
