theory was that speech with WON
ankind led 10 idlcncss and invited dis
traction. So they withdrew from con-
yentionul society, set up their incon-
siderable belongings in two studio
rooms far up from the sidewalk and
organized the Society of Resolute Her

There with new lighted ambitions
and gas range, they began their as
sault on flames frowning walls, one
with verse, one with pictures and the
third with fiction of all lengths, No
written bond did they sign, but the
word of honor was passed that for a
year and day each should hold no
converse with the disturbing sex. And
they meant to do just the thing upon
which they had agreed

And indeed, from the viewpoint Of
the RcSolute lIermits. 1t was a noble

FOUND POT Of GOLD
NEAR KENT ISLAND.
Crew of Little SIoop Bessie
Oroang Brought 1t up
In a Dredge.

Capt. Lemuel Hardiker of the trim
little sloop Bessie w. Droine. which
tied up at Pratt street wharf, Baltimore,
Saturday, is the proud possessor Of a pot
of gold. His treasure came from the
depths of the Chesapeake bay, where it
had rested probably for several hundred
years Ii consists of these articles:
A gold cross of antique design, elaba-
rately carved.
Two finger rings of old English design.
One long neck chain.
Seventeen gold coins. which are sup
posed to be Spanish doubloons.
Thirty eight silver coins. varying III
size from a silver dollar to an old time
three-cen; piece.
An old gold clasp. which was no doubt
used on Bible.
There are also in the collection several
small gold aud silver trinkcts. but time
and the salt water have worn them away
So that their original designs cannot be
definitely determined.
Capt Hardiker found his treasure on
February IL, while dredging for oysters
off Kent Island How and when the
valuables got to the bottom of the bay
is mystery the lucky captain can
not fathom. He says it is enough for
him to know that he is the owner of the
gold and silver. which he proposes To
sell. The proceeds he will spend on the
first vacation of his busy life.
The crew of the sloop were winding
the windlass at lively rate on the day
of the find, when mud covered object
fell on the vessels deck At first the
men thought it was a big stone. Capt.
Hardiker says he cleaned the mud from
il out of curiosity. and discovered an
iron pot. He then explored the interior
and found growth of ,ysters. These
he knocked off with hammer and then
found several barnacle-covered and
stained bits of metal.
Being curious to learn more about
the pots contents he scrubbed one of
the pieces in pan of hot water and
soap. When he saw the color of yellow
gold after the cleaning process Captain
Hardiker says he lost no time in coEtin-
uing his Investigations.
In about an hour the table in the
sloop's cabin had the appearance of I,
show counter i'll an antique jewelry
shop The crew crowded into the cabin
and there was much rejoicing. Captain
Hardikcr decided TO keep the find for
his own benefit, but. following ont the
rule regarding such matters, he made
the crew an extra allowance a. their
share.
Captain Hardiker said that he pro
poses To have the gold weighed and val
uea. The iron pot is relic. no doubt
of the days when fearless pirates sailed
the waters of the Chesapeake bay and
robbed the strong boxes of many vessels
For generations residents of Kent Is
land have known that the pirates of old
had buried treasure along the shore OF
the historic island, aud from time I,
time CONS of ancient date and objects OF
gold and silver have been found.
