Cristo's crest

[soothsayer]

I am reading the count of monte cristo for the second time around, Monte Cristo is a character and a story I have become obsessed with. In one of the chapters it describes a crest of sorts that represented The Count, could someone post that quote and/or direct me to the chapter in which it appears as I would love to have that as a tattoo.

The only mention I can find is from chapter 85 when Monte Cristo is travelling with Edward to keep him out of the way for the 3 days that begin the down fall of Farnand. Hope that helps:

'In a creek lay a little sloop, with a narrow keel and high masts, bearing on its flag the Monte Cristo arms which were a mountain on a sea azure, with a cross gules on the shield.'

Yeah. That's the only mention I can remember. Sadly, that's as discriptive as it got.

does anyone know where I could find a visual representation of that crest?

Your interpretation of the visual would be as good as any artist's since the novel contains no illustrations to speak of, my friend.
