in 1871 that the English buccaneer, Sir
Henry Morgan. landed at the mouth OF
the Chagres and crossed the isthmus.
He besieged Panama and burned It to
the ground. carrying away It's horse
and mule loads Of silver, gold and other
loot, and In addition 600 prisoners. At
that time Panama contained eight mon
asteries, two churches and hospital.
1t had 200 warehouses, 1000 magnificent
residences and 5000 houses Of more ordi-s
nary build. Morgan tortured the people
to make them tell where their treasures
were hidden, sparing not even the women.

the word OF command he begins his
rushing descent. plunging down and down

he tumbles with a splash that would

laughs. You can hear the side-splitting
