Chapter IV - Kidd claimed his men were the pirates and that they locked him in his cabin to perform acts of piracy. He claimed to be afraid to go back to New York because of the false stories about him, so he instead headed to Boston. Along the way he stopped at Block Island, then stopped at Gardiner's Island leaving its proprietor, Mr. Gardiner, with most of his treasures for safe keeping. It is suspected that when Kidd traveled through Long Island Sound, he buried gold and jewels at Thimble Island and all along the coast before reaching Boson and his arrest.
Chapter I - A fortune teller told some men where to find Captain Kidd's treasure - Young woman with a sacred stone - Chihaya and the holy stones.
Kidd took notes that would enable him to find the treasure again later.
Fortune tellers continually told people where to find the treasure and to work in complete darkness and be completely silent, or else natural disasters would come and prevent them from taking the treasure (torrential rains and thunderstorms, lightning, shrieks of laughter heard, swarms of bats).
