There was supposed to be buried treasure on an island off Brazil, and Knight took a yacht and a crew of volunteers to dig for it. The Alerte's expedition is the treasure hunt done for real: the sceptics, the fever, the sheer physical labour of moving a hillside by hand, and the answer that everyone except the diggers had already guessed.
