Gull Pond Road

..........If you have not yet found Sam Bellamy's pot of gold, your last chance
at it comes on Gull Pond Road, marked at the right, where, failing in
gold, I can at least show you a great green-rimmed cauldron of silver
with a sheen beyond the powers of all the smiths of India. Ben EATON's
place, the last house at Gull Pond, is the spot where "two red-coated
strangers" tethered their horses one night long ago and held a chart
up to the moonlight while a scared little girl held her breath and
peered at them over a window-ledge. They dug a hole here, but whether
they had any more luck than you might have, nobody in Wellfleet knows.
The tale has come down through generations of folks at Gull Pond,
which was something closer to a wilderness then, and curiously the
story seems to have escaped the embroidery that hangs in festoons over
most of these local traditions. It never reveals whether the strangers
really found and took away the gold.
