One such man-William s. Meade
died recently, penniless and alone in
New York. Early in life he made a
fortune through an invention, but
spent II all chasing the ignis fatuus
of hidden treasure.
Meade asserted he had fallen heir
to maps and directions that would
lead to buried wealth that would run
up into the millions. He purchased a
large and expensive steam yacht,
manned 1t with large crew and ma
chinery for raising sunken galleons
supposed to be full Of Spanish gold
and soon after the civil war set sail
for the south seas.
Disaster, wreck and privation fell

Wealth Buried by Bonita.

Wealth Buried by Bonita.
In 1921, after the surrender of
Donaja to the Liberator Iturbide, vast
stores OF government wealth were re-
moved from the City of Mexico.
Bonita, 1t is stated, managed to cap

All the treasures and plate of the
cathedral and of the churches of Lima
and the surrounding country were

In addition many wealthy citizens
placed their choicest possessions on
the vessel. In all 1t is stated that
