The Story of Cot Kuala Bridge (Part Two)

In addition, the Dutch made Tangse a place of rest and vacation. A number of high-ranking Dutch officers took time off from Kutaradja for a holiday to enjoy the air and the beauty of nature at the foot of the valley of this Singgah Mata Mountain. this place is allegedly the Dutch keep the gold treasure planted around the river bank leading to Teunom.

Related to this oral note, a character in Tangse (we do not mention his name for some reason), reveals that once in the 1990s he once told an elderly citizen from Geumpang who had experienced and witnessed himself a horrible event.

Here is the story, that afternoon he commanded the Dutch officers to take some heavy boxes to Cot Kuala. This was done hastily after scattering the news of the victory of the Japanese Army against the allies.
Together with approximately six other citizens escorted by Dutch soldiers in about 1942, they were driving finally arrived at Cot Kuala. Dutch troops closed the eyes of the people until they reached the corner of the bridge downstream. The boxes that were not originally known for their contents, were planted in one location at the edge of Krueng Cot Kuala. Suddenly after being inserted and sealed to the ground, the Dutch troops burrowed in the darkness. Luckily the father survived and fled, then before he died had time to tell about the planting of the treasure he called gold around the edge of Krueng Cot Kuala.
