CHAPTER VI

The galleOn Santa Cataripa, with her
rich store of cold and silver and Jewels
and the armor OF her defenders and
perhaps their bones, too n the sea had
not dissolved them, lay under the Eu-
reka's keel, and there she had rested,
in undisturbed peace, since that long
distant day when theSpaniard had fred
his magazine sooner than trust to the
tender mercies Of Nicholas I.
Thecompany Of Adventures on board
the Eureka leaned over the bulwarks
and gazed down alto the green depths
OF the Atlantic beneath them. A hush
OF awe fell upon them and kept them
speechless. With one accord they peered
into the waves as though by the exer.
else of their will power alone they could
pierce those silent depths and compel
I the sea to disclose its secret to their Gu
rious eyes. II was an eerie thought
that down there in the ooze, 200 faith
oms beneath them, lay the harvest Of
gold which they had come to reap But
1t would be perilous cleaning. and
maybe that other reaper, death,
would have his innings first and the
bones of these eight brave men and wo-
men would go to swell the number Of
those who lie at rest in the wide grave
yards of the ocean. 1t was surely
thought to freeze the speech and make
the heart beat fast with fear.
At length Cain Laversha broke the 81

MOSS on CHARTER AMENDMENTS.

Frank Moss of the Mazet Committees counsel,
was at work yesterday on the draft Of report to
the Legislature upon the results Of the commit
tees investigation. He said he did not regard the
decision by the Republican organization leaders to
have commission appointed TO recommend general
amendments to the city charter any reflection upon
the work of the investigating committee. He had
no doubt he said, that the testimony taken I'm the
investigation would be OF great service to the
Governors Commission. In addition to the mass
of testimony at hand he said, the Commission
might properly get the testimony of experts.
AS the LEGISLATURE might pass out of Republi-
can control before the Governors Commission could
report upon general amendments TO the charter.
Mr. Moss said, il is to be expected that some i'm
portant amendments to the charter will he passed
at the coming session OF the Legislature. Among
those will be amendments TO shorten the term OF
the Mayor to two years and 10 abolish house
Of the Municipal Assembly. Such amendments will
mittee to the Legislature.
