that was paid Spain by the United States for
Florida, was disabled and II Ia near there that
the money was buried.
History relates that the purchase money was
paid In gold from the mint at New Orleans. the
gold was loaded on Spanish gun-b0at at New
Orleans and set sail for Spain. The boat became
disabled near st. Marks In fear Of pirates, who
were numerous In the waters along the coast the
captain landed with part OF the crew and buried
the gold then returned to the gun.boat They
drifted for many days. and the crew was finally
picked up by foreign vessel bound for Peru.
During the voyage the scourge broke out ON the
ship and the officers and many Of the crew died
Those who survived were landed penniiess at
Peru.
Many years afterwards sailor named Bell
landed at st. Marks. He was an old man, feeble
and Ill and was kindly cared for by g. w. Smith,
whose home he reached in his wanderings. He
fingered several months and then died. When
he realized that he was about TO die he told Mr..
smith the strange story OF his life. He was one

Spanish gold from New Orleans He told OF the
burying OF the money after the boat became dis

said ne had spent his life trying to get back to

The Story Of Saint Marks

where the masonry foundations of the old fort
may still be seen.
Afterwards when the fort came under the Stars
and Stripes, by the exchange of flags in 1921 the
United States built military Hospital near the
site of the old fort This was maintained for
long period OF years but was finally abandoned
and has crumbled into ruins. A line of wall runs
across the point from river to river and ends I'm
sea-wall many feet high built against a bluff on
the Wakua river. Here perched high among
the ruins Is fshermans hut. The day was there
demented woman with shotgun kept away all
curious intruders The tide was very full and
only few feet Of the wall was visible. but wnen
the tide Is out. 1t can be seen for many feet.
Landing from the rear we went over the ruins
Of the hospital, where the walls have been torn
away and the stones used for building purposes.
Here we found q graSs-c0vered mound thirty
or forty feet high, that was the Spanish maya.

young woman was sewing near the open window,
and purple athea waved its graceful branches In
the swift breeze The afternoon sky was gray
and mighty silence lay like cloak over the
land.
St. Marks was captured by William Augustus
Bowles. who was at various times British soldier
pirate and leader of the Indians, but was shortly
afterward recaptured and B0wles was sent to
Moro Castle Havana, where he died.
Later the fort was taken by General Jackson,
who treated the Spaniards and their allies with
great severity. At st. Marks Jackson arrested
Alexander Arbuthnot an aged Scotch trader who
had a sort of parental oversight OF the Indians,
and Lieutenant Ambrister, both British subjects,
charged with aiding and abetting the Indians IN
their attacks on the frontier, and court.martaled
them. BY two-thirds verdict Arbuthnot was
condemned to be hung, and Ambrister to be shot
The verdict In Ambrister's case was re-considered
and changed to fifty stripes and year at hard
labor. This enraged Jackson who declared Am.
brister had not had fair trial. and ordered sec
ond trial at which Ambrister was condemned to
death. Historians do not agree as to the carrying
out OF the sentences. tree Is pointed out as the
one on which Jackson hung Ambrister and Ar.
buthnot. Another story is that one was hung on
this tree and the other from the bow OF boat.
and third story Is that they were taken to the
Suwannee and executed there. There Is no dis

Twenty-one miles from Tallahassee, travelling
towards the coast through desOlate stretch OF
pine barrens one reaches the historic little old
town OF st. Marks the second Oldest settlement In
the United States, once an important stronghold,
now miserable little fishing village, with moth
ing left of its former greatness but the name and
fast fading memories
st. Marks Is the terminus of the third railroad
built in the United States. In 1886, little more
than ten years after Tallahassee was selected for
the site of the capital of Florida, General Rich
ard Keith Call then Governor, built the road
from Tallahassee to St Marks. AT that
remote period railroads were a doubtful expert
ment, the rails were laid on stringers, instead OF
crossties as in the present day. The trial trip to
st. Marks proved disastrous the force Of the en-
CINE tore up the rails after that the use of the
CINE was abandoned, and mules furnished the
motive power.
st. Marks was then an important cotton port.
Through 1t all the cotton grown In this section,
and In the southern part Of Georgia was shipped.
1t was loaded from st. Marks on vessels at the
Spanish Hole and shipped to New Orleans then
the greatest cotton market in the world
When the railroad, now the l.. and N. was built
from River Junction to Pensacola, 1t was ordered
that the st. Marks railroad should be torn up and
the rails used to finish the last twenty miles to
Chattahoochee.
When Lttlefeld came OUT with his wrecking
train to take up the iron, he was met by Daniel
Ladd the famous old pioneer, with an armed
force of men and slaves, who threatened to shoot
any man who dared to touch the rails. Thus was
saved the st. Marks railroad
In the early days of Tallahassee's history st.
Marks and Newport, which is about three miles
from st. Marks, we're places OF resort for the
families Of the lordly planters OF this neighbor-
hood. There were comfortable hotels, excellent
hunting fishing and bathing and as all the travel
. by water to New Orleans was through this port,
the place was decidedly gay, especially during the
summer season.
But 1t is not the St. Marks of today, doing
beside the river, the St. Marks OF the planters
that Is interesting, but the old town OF the Span
iards with its stories of battle and murder and
violent DEATH that is rich in historic associations.
The settlement was made few years after st.
Augustine was founded, but was not important
until 1t was fortified by the Spaniards for the
protection Of their allies the Apalachee Indians.
In 1918 Jose Pine de Ribera built on the ST. Marks
River, near its confluence with the Wakula, the
fort called San Marco de Apalachee The fort was
built on narrow point of land between the rivers,

DUBLIN. Nov. 24-The town or Bally-
mena, County Antrim. has been the vic
tim OF a hoax Some time ago placards
bearing an official appearance were post
ed in the neighborhood declaring that
the war office was ready to buy cats in
unlimited numbers to rid the barracks
and military stores Of rats and mice.
IL was added that an official OF the
war Office would attend the next fair al
BallyTnena and would pay half a crown
apiece for cats.
Thereafter the animals had a lively
time. They were hunted day and night,
far and wide. Scores were caught and
imprisoned. and their owners were not
able TO trace them.
When a fair day arrived, cat-laden
crates, boxes. baskets and sacks were
taken TO Baliymena from all directions.
Many carts, which otherwise would have
been laden with pigs. carried only fe-
lines. The strange live stock was de
posted by common consent In the place
usually devoted 10 pigs.
The war office official was sought
everywhere. Hours passed before the
people understood that they had been
hOaxed. The war Office probably Will
make Il lively for the trickster. II he Is
