the sea might throw in their way.
When they landed On the south side o. p urn
Island. they saw the Mexican dollars strewing
the beach. from the edge Of the water up TO .
high sand hank. about a rod from high water
mark. IL was 10 this sand bank that Gibbs,
Wsnsley, Dawes and Bro~nrigg. buried all the
specie they took on shore from the brig Vine
yard and. installing Plum Island for Barren
Island. where they went. afterwards, TO show
the officers where the money was buried they
could not fad the spot. After lapse Of nine
years, The sea has laid the treasure bare.
The sand bank. in which they buried the
money. Is. as we stated, about rod from high
wafer mark and the sea never reaches it. ex-
cept IN unusually severe gales, as in the present
Instance. During the recent high tides, the
sea washed Oft some Of the CANVASS bags in
which they were buried. and sfre~ed dollars all
along the beach, besides re buying some 10
the sand again. The greater part. however,
were not disturbed, but lay in their original
grave, on the top OF The bank like a ridge Of
potatoes. From this spot TO the waters edge,
the three first finders saw the dollars lay like
sea-shels on the shore. For two days, they
had the picking all to themselves. Since then,
all the clam boys, wreekers, and losfers, from
the neighboring villages, have turned out. and
dug IN the sand with various success. Some
would find $40 ip lump Others $500 in a
spot, and SO in proportion. One man found a
pair OF suspenders sewed full |of dollars. that
had belonged to Atwill, the pirate, who was
drowned going ashore. The search still con-

ger says, that Philosopher, who has travelled
much and is a man of great experience, has
discovered that no bo'0-iegged individual has
ever been distinguished for any extraordinary
evidence Of mental superiority. Hence he ra-
tionally concludes that bow-legs and great
crested science, which the editor of the Phil
adslphia Gazette has denominated eircun,iegol-
ogy. The immortal dscovercr intends shortly
to give series of lectures upon the best method
of reducing extraordinary curvatures and bring
ing them into something resembling parallel
liue,. Ladies are to be excluded, as the pro-
iessor believes that they are exceptions TO the
rules Of the science.
