air of mystery.
From the earliest days the rock was considered
inaccessible; but time an old man came to-
Perce and said that he had been one of Dt1val's

had brought over from the island to the rock two
great chests OF treasure, and two strange Indians
had lowered ropes by which Duval the narrator

the top of the rock, and descended leaving Duval
to follow. He remained alone on top of the rock
till almost dawn, and then descended by the ropes
leaving the Indians there. When he was down he
ordered his boat to put out three lengths from the
rock and with his bunderbusS shot and cut
the rope so high up that could reach the
dangling ends. The old believed that the
Indians either killed by Duval on the top
of the rock or had way of descent else they
had cast off the ropes from the top by Duvals
orders.
None of the fishermen credited his tale or would
help hum IN an attempt To scale the rock. The next
day they found his body. crushed by falling floating
IN the water at the base of the rock and il came To
