| 0:00.0 | You're listening to one explained, into the Abyss, part 2. |
| 0:20.7 | It has been some 20 odd years since Dr. Leachie's interpretation of the Flagstone Code and |
| 0:27.1 | the rumours of buried riches on Oak Island have reached mythical proportions. Due to complications |
| 0:34.4 | of ownership, it isn't until 1893 that a 4th team are able to secure the $30,000 lease |
| 0:41.5 | agreement to begin the next assault on what many believe to be the hiding place of the long-lost |
| 0:47.7 | treasure of infamous pirate, Captain William Kid. On first arriving at the site, the new group |
| 0:55.4 | of treasure hunters led by a Frederick Blair, known as the Oak Island Treasure Company, |
| 1:00.5 | find it much changed from Donald McKinnis' day. The once lush green grove, now an open wound, |
| 1:09.0 | scarred and pockmarked, with numerous holes full of water. Like many before them, the company |
| 1:16.6 | make a start digging fresh holes and making industrial strength efforts to drain the seawater's |
| 1:22.1 | away. But just as before, the same problems persist. In March 1897, labourer Maynard Kaiser is |

| 1:40.2 | the men to stop, he is fixed to the pulley system before lowering himself into the pit. |
| 1:46.6 | The bottom of which lies somewhere in the dark, 90 feet below him. |
| 1:52.6 | Carefully easing himself in line with the bucket, he has just untangled it when the rope gives |
| 1:58.8 | a sudden jerk slipping two feet before being caught again on the pulley. A greatly relieved Kaiser |
| 2:07.1 | has just enough time to look up before the rope jerks loose again, sending the unfortunate Kaiser, |
| 2:15.1 | disappearing into the darkness below. He becomes the second man to die in pursuit of the supposed |
| 2:23.2 | treasure of Oak Island. With the rest of the team too shocked and saddened to return to work, |
| 2:31.0 | the operation is brought to an immediate halt. That night deep in sleep, one of the workers |
| 2:38.9 | turns restlessly in his bed. Somewhere inside his head, he is visited by the specter of Captain |
| 2:47.0 | Kid, who delivers a terrifying warning. Seize digging now or else more will die. |
