they more nearly resembled the rims

these came from huge caves two or
three hundred miles AWAY, in the sides
OF the mountains. Mr. Gull frequent

which he describes as being very re
markable, and still filled with old rusty
guns, pistols, skeletons, whole pots Of
gold and silver coin, specimens OF which
he has, and can be seen at Baker & Ba-

antique looking ring which he found
there, on which is rudely carved the
name Of Capt. Kidd. But perhaps the
most interesting Of all his relics are the
manuscripts, which he preserved. and
which throw light upon the mysteri-

over twenty pages Of fine but distinct
writing, carefully preserved between
