Phipps then set sail to find the Spanish ship and fish up the treasure. He reached the coast of Hispaniola in safety; but how to find the sunken ship was the great difficulty. The fact of the wreck was more than fifty years old; and Phipps had only the traditionary rumours of the event to work upon. There was a wide coast to explore, and an outspread ocean without any trace whatever of the argosy which lay somewhere at its bottom. But the man was stout in heart and full of hope. He set his seamen to work to drag along the coast, and for weeks they went on fishing up sea-weed, shingle, and bits of rock. No occupation could be more trying to seamen, and they began to grumble one to another, and to whisper that the man in command had brought them on a fool’s errand.

白话
核心是：菲普斯拿到船后，真正的难题不是决心，而是在茫茫大海里找到五十多年前的沉船；他只能靠传说和拖网式搜索，船员因此抱怨。他安全到达伊斯帕尼奥拉海岸，但怎么找到沉船是大难题。沉船事实已过去五十多年，他只有传闻可依；海岸线很宽，海面辽阔，那艘宝船躺在某处海底，没有任何痕迹。但他内心坚定、充满希望，让水手沿海岸拖曳搜寻，一连几周捞上来的只是海草、卵石和碎石。没有比这更折磨水手的活了，他们开始互相抱怨，私下说指挥官带他们干的是蠢差事。这说明在信息极少时，坚持搜索需要承受团队士气低落的代价，领导者得一边稳住人心，一边继续试。
