sole survivor He was very reticent
in talking to Luck, and afterwards to
others. about the fate of his last ship
mates. but finally stated that on the
voyage from the island to Australia the
captain had killed the steward, and that
in se1f-defense Drawn himself had shot
and killed the captain.
It might seem to require strong
imagination and stronger faith to per-
suade a company of young adventures
to enlist under such a leader-a man
who professed to have been pirate and
manslayer, but all this happened and
more.
INVESTED $4,000 IN SCHOONER.
They invested $4,000 in fitting out the
schooner Herman. from this port and in
her they sailed under command of the
sometime pirate, all in the dark as to
their objective point, as Mr.. Chetwood
explains:
the voyage, and also, no doubt, his pos
sibIe danger from us. the captain de-
clined to reveal the position of the is
land and the treasure, though il was
understood that in case of sickness or
death the secret would be forthcoming.
7 his ARRANGEMENT was very unsatiS-
factory, but we took into account thar
if Drawn had had anything like the
experience he described rooted distrust
of almost any associates would be sec
ond nature to him, and that his entirC
confidence could only be won by de-
grees. In fact, it had become pretty
clear to us that, as already indicated,
we must take Drawn as we found him,
and not attempt to apply in his case the
rules which guided us in our usual avo-
cations. 1t was plain he must be trusted
to a large extent. at least at the outset.
Otherwise it would be useless to start.
J. Then Mr.. Chetwood on sailing breaks
out in poetry as one might whistle in
a graveyard to keep up his courage; for
instance:
We must shun the dread reporter, so
restless and so keen.
For if he should make known Our plans.
we'd never more be seen;
We must find a treasure hid away for
fifty years or more,
Then lade our bark and sail in stealth
to CALIFORNIA; shore.
A staunch and speedy craft have we, to
sail the surging sea,
A gallant skipper in command, the
dauntless Captain B.;
He's often faced the dread typhoon, and
weathered many a gale:
What ground for lack of confidence
have those who with him sail?
From the day they sailed they had
nothing but bad luck and they hit a
lawsuit at every port they entered. At
Honolulu and at Sydney it cost them
thousands of dollars to get the schooner
out of pawn. for debts contracted by
Brown. In this mixed course OF navi-
CATION and litigation they wasted nearly
year and a great deal OF money with

TREASURE
HUNT ECHO
Schooner f1erman's Trip
Described In New
Fiction.

Echoes of the Captain Brown treasure
hunt still reverberate. This echo comes
through the Examiner
Millions of buried treasure, guarded
by legion of ghosts, against that
shadowy host, the ancient mariner,
some time pirate and South sea rover,
seemed to make no Roadway.
This is a strange tale OF the South
seas, told by one who shared in the adj
venture, a young lawyer of this city,
who in his book, now hot from the press,
calls himself J. c. Wood, thin disguise
for John Chetwood. Other members OF
the party who shared in the search for
buried treasure appear under some truly
transparent alias, as for instance, Captain
James Brown, who figures as Drawn,
Don L. Stone, who is Donzel Stoney,
DR.. Luce who is called DR.. Luck, Ogden
Hoffman, appearing as hoffman and r.
Sharatt, all of San Francisco, together
with G. w. Sutton, New Yorker, whose
book name is Surton.
These are the dramatis personae that
figure in Our Search for the Missing
Millions of Cocos Island published un-
der the imprimatur of the South Sea
Bubble Company A tale wherein we
find, or do not find barrels of buried
treasure, guarded by the shivering spirits
of dead pirates is fifty published by the
ghost of a defunct corporation. And this
is the dedication with which the author
assuages the disappointment of his as
sociates with that species of moral re-
Election which we call philosophy, when
we lose and not when we win:

APPEALS FOR RELEASE.
Maria M. Burrows Alleges Unlawful
Detention in Hospital for Insane.

Chief Justice Clabaugh of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia today
heard the arguments of Attorney Thomas
J. Mackey. representing the petitioner, and
of Assistant United States Attorney Adj
kins and Assistant Corporation Counsel
George on the application of Marcia M.
Burrows. or, as she styles herself, MRS.
DR.. Martha Marea Cicotte Burroughs Boyd,
attorney at law" for writ of habeas corpus.
The petitioner claims that she is deprived of
her liberty at the Government Hospital for
the Insane without due process of law
Mrs. Boyd and her mother, Mrs Ott- Will
son. figured in a sensational arrest several
months ago. 1t was necessary for the de-
toctives to force an entrance into the room
the women occupied at the time in hotel
at the southeast corner of John Marshall
place and c street, in order to take them
into custody. Later Mrs Boyd was ad-
judged by a marshaps jury to be Of un-
sound mind and was committed to the Gov
eminent Hospital for the Insane.
The principal point raised by Attorney
Mackey was that the United States marshal
for the District of Columbia Is without au-
thOrity to administer oaths. At all lunacy
ministers the oath to the jurors and the
witnesses.
In announcing that he would take the
matter under advisement. Chief Justice
Clabaugh requested Assistant United States
Attorney Adkins and Assistant Corporation
Counsel George to furnish him with author
tiles in support of their contention that the
United States marshal Is empowered to ad-
minister oaths,
