Trivia:
In the September 13th, 1723 Journal Entry is a Treasure map with cryptogram message. The decoded message reads: "My treasure is located [here] NW of the island near [the] old lava flow. Walk twenty paces NW from the blackened tree. [The] chest is nine feet below. AD (Arabella Drummond)
The treasure Arabella Drummond buried might be on Krakatoa Island,Indonisia. If you go to the page with a picture of Captain Kidd burying treasure there is a small map of Krakatoa island. If you compare it to the treasure map by turning the angles, you see that the islands mach up.
