CAPT. DAYTON'S LOGBOOK.
How matters progressed and how the
rainbow finally faded away, may be
judged from the following extracts
from Capt. Dayton's log:
Feb. II, 1S7S.-FolIingsby knows no
more about the wreck than a Coche
goat. We searched all day and at
night came TO anchor under the lee OF
Coche.
Feb. q, 1S7S.-Have swept. dredged
and Greppled. and found nothing but
sand and shells-not particle OF iron,
copper or piece Of timber. or any
particle supposed 10 belong TO wreck
in fact, nothing to convince US that
we are on the ground. But Follingsby
guarantees that II We work the large
dredge he will bring up the dollars be-
fore next Saturday night. Il is my
opinion that for Mr.. LorillarG's in.er-
ests we had better give it up. FoIlings-
by was very angry when same was
suggested TO him"

York end told the gross 81 faisehoods;

So the golden husd rainbow of the
San Pedro faded away. The Peter

Jacob Lorillard was wiser man.

From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
There has ever been something r.
resistibly a1luring in the search for hid,
den treasures. The fever has gotten
into the blood Of Sir George Newnes, a
wealthy London baronet, who has come
under the spell of one Louis de Rouge
mont, who is being acclaimed the mod
ern Robinson Crusoe. Sir George
Newnes is the publisher Of several
periodicals in London, in one OF which
is running a startling yarn purporting
to be the actual experiences of De
RougemOnt.
The stories have been widely quoted
and commented upon. In the Herald,
few Sundays ago, appeared an article
dealing with this glib-tongued adven-
turer, who might have stepped from the
page OF one Of Robert Louis Steven
sons remarkable tales. He appeared In
London, penniless and unknown. But
he told a story wilder than the widest
flights of fiction. Sir George Newnes
listened. From listening he grew en-
thusiastic. He engaged De Rougemont
TO write his story for one of his mag
aZines.
But that wasn't enough. The bar.
onet's dreams were disturbed by visions
of fabulous treasures-treasuTes spoken
of lightly by his new-found protege
On the desert island, vaguely located as
off the northwest coast of Australia" ="
where De Rougemont had been cast
away after the wreck of the pearl fish
ing vessel on which he had shipped
were treasures Of untold worth. De
Rougemont was the sole survivor. and
when he finally escaped from his isl,
and he didn't think it worth while to
take his treasures with him.
There are pearls-black pearls, each
worth a kings ransom; white pearls
such as no man ever saw before. ana
pink pearls OF great value. And Sir
George Newnes is fitting out an expedi
tlon TO go and fetch them to London.
Many persons there be who do not hest
tate to say openly that De Rougemont
is a picturesque disciple of Ananias
He has been hailed as the modern Rob-
inson CruGoe. but there are some who
say he is a fin de steele Munchausen
De Rougemont says he Is willing to
go with the expedition, and that is re-
Sarded as something in his favor. But
there have been other De Rougemonts
not as widely exploited perhaps as this
one, but De RoUgemonts just the same,
who have gone on other expeditions.
have one in mind now, 9, fellow named
Follingsby, who cast his spell over

either. We have had them at home, a
plenty OF them.
Which brings me back to the some
what trite observation that there has
ever been something irresstibly allur-
ing in the search for hidden treasure.

her crew
The first effort to raise her was in
1894, fourteen years later The British
government made the attempt, but be-
ICre any results had been attained
Oncte sam interfered and sent the
Br1t0ns off about their business. In
all the years since then a great many
companies have been organized to re-
cover the treasure, but the finds have
consisted of few golden soVereigns
and several war relics.
In the last eight years there have
been several companies of rainbow
seekers at work on the Hussar. In
August, 1892, the Little Giant Wreck
ing company, composed of citizens Of
Leominster, Mass, started to work, the
operations being in charge of Capt.
Simonds. The stock went away up
and then came down with a crash.
The Hackett Wrecking company.
with offices in South street, made an
effort to get at the sunken Hussar in
November of the same year, but work
was abandoned IN a few weeks.
Francis N. Eppley rather dashed any
further hopes on the part of the gold
hunters in 1894. Mr.. Eppley was him.
self a rainbow chaser, but he was a
logical one, If the paradox may be par
doned. He was a New York lawyer,
who lived out in the Oranges. He OBJ
tained a contract from the secretary
Of the treasury to make systematic
search for the buried treasure, and by
the terms of the agreement he was to
turn over to the government all the
war relics and 10 per cent of the treas
ure troVe.
But Mr.. Eppley first decided to pro-
cure all the documentary evidence pos
sible as a means Of help in locating the
gold. He haunted the libraries. pored
over dusty tones and placed himself
in correspondence with antiquarians in
England. He convinced himself that
the Hussar's reputed wealth was large
ly a myth. There was a sum amount
ing to f20,000 on board, but on the very
morning Of the fateful day the money
was landed and delivered into the GUS
tOdy Of Commissioner General Delaney.
A Baltimore syndicate had previously
sent out an expedition in search Of the
San Pedro, and 1t was even said that
some Of the gold had been recovered.
But the Venezuelan government put
a stop to 1t, and after disposing Of the
Baltimore expedition, which had been
most elaborately fitted out at great ex-
pense, work was resumed by the Ven
eZuelan authorities. They lacked both
brains and the necessary appliances,
and their efforts came to naught.
THE PETER MTTCHELLS MISSION.
Jacob Lorillard knew OF this, and he
fell an easy prey to the wiles of Fol-
lirgsby. On Dec. 2S. 1877, the schooner
Peter Mitchell cleared Sandy Hook,
bound for the end of the rainbow.
Capt. Serene T. Dayton was in COM
mand. and Follingsby went along. The
expedition was fitted out by Mr.. Loril-
lard.

inspiration for more disillusioned for
tune seekers than can well be enumer-
ated.
Some Of the rainbow chasers who
have been Victimized by smooth
tongued De RougemOnts are men who
would laugh at Capt Kidds hidden
wealth. They have sought for more
tangible sources and have been in sight
of them-as the child fancies he is in

have chased over the wet fields Of the
world, only TO see their Taiubows fad

impress one as a rainbow chaser, and
yet even he, hard headed man of the
