The Treasure of the nozzle
Olivier Levasseur was born in Calais at the end of the seventeenth century. In 1721, The Red is associated with the English pirate Taylor. He was nicknamed the nozzle due to the speed at which he was able to pounce on its prey. In April they capture a rich Portuguese ship of 72 guns, Virgin of the Cape, who had sought refuge against the storm in the port (Reunion Island Bourbon, now) Saint-Denis.
Aboard the ship were Count Ericeira, Viceroy of India, and the Archbishop of Goa. Hawk did not demand ransom from the Viceroy, but laid hands on the objects of inestimable value: diamond necklaces, jewelry, pearls, gold and silver bars, furniture, fabrics, and sacred vessels cassettes gems, plus the gold butt Goa studded with rubies weighing a hundred pounds, all valued at € 4.5 billion.
Our Lady of the Cape, repaired and refurbished, became the vessel of the Tube and took the name of
The Victorious. But the next, Duguay Trouin and English commodore year Matthews came prowling in the vicinity of the Indian Ocean. Hawk and Taylor distrusted and preferred take off. Taylor fled to the West Indies and La Buse retired to St. Mary's Island near the east coast of Madagascar.
He retired because piracy was not possible with the heels a guy of the caliber of Duguay-Trouin, whose flag fluttered gloriously Ecuador at the Cape of Good Hope.
Most buccaneers also ceased all activity and became quite peaceful citizens enjoying the Charter leniency offered by the King of France. Their ships rotted in inlets and piracy disappeared.
Almost alone, La Buse temporized before accepting the charter, he restored the sacred vessels, but could not bring himself to make the booty Virgin Cape condition clemency.
Certainly he hid his treasure ... but where?
It has been suggested the name of 6 islands Mauritius and satellite Rodrigues, Reunion, Frigate and Mahé in the Seychelles, Sainte-Marie off Madagascar.
In any case, it's St. Mary that lived Levasseur, irregular but with little immediate danger ... Speaking of submission without haste to conclude.
1729, working as a driver in Antongil Bay (Madagascar), he offered his services to the ship Medusa, the East India Company, who wanted to enter the port.
The Captain Hermitte captain, recognized him, and remembering that the hacker had repeatedly boarded ships of his company, he stopped. IT was brought to the meeting.
July 7, 1730, La Buse was sentenced to death.
When he mounted the scaffold to atone for his crimes pirate Olivier Levasseur, aka La Buse, launched a cryptogram in the crowd and said:
- "My treasures who will understand!"
Here is the Tube hanged cryptogram launched into the crowd, and the hidden treasure offered smarter. Who picked up the secret message?
