Our hopes of pleasure abroad had not risen to any

a desire go to Europe, and have observed specially
that those who have ambitions with regard to public
life think they ought to the ocean, that
ing the water will add to their public reputation,
particularly when they think how it added to the
reputation of George Washington, even crossing the

Then you go to England-you have her

have laid eyes on the mother country, which it
appears the rises. Then you begin to
compare legislative bodies. You find that in Par

while in Congress the members sit with their hats
off and spit. And you cross the Channel the last
thing you is the English soldier with his blue

on board ship in the harbor the riches of the cathe
dral noted as of the wealth1est IN the world
The ship was captured by Chilean revolutionary
vessel, which was caught by the dreaded Pampero,
and was beached on sandy bay of Trinidad. The
pirates hid the treasure in the ravine, and signaed
the first passing vessel which, unfortunately for them,
was Spaniard. They were recognized and taken to
Cuba and hanged December 2, 1921, in Cabanas
fortress, Havana-all lad of fifteen, Finn
cabin boy.
Fifty years later, when the mate of sailing ship
trading in the China sea- the Finn told his skipper
of the treasure and showed him chart OF the island
that had been given to him by the pirates After the
old Firms death the Captain sent his son to the
island The latter reported that Trinidad in
every detail represented, but landslide had
closed the ravine with rock and red earth. lncau-
tousy the told the people of the ship the secret
of his mission. The next year indepenc emit
expedition went to the island from Liverpool; out
the blazing sum- the fever tie heavy SURF and other
natural obstacles played havoc with the men,
and the expedition failed as have four others, all
English since that time.
If this treasure should be found, queer
complications would follow the question of
ownership. First would be the claim of England,
the flag having been raised there early as 1900;
then Of the Portuguese of Brazil who had settle
ment there about 1880; of Brazil, since the island
lies off her coast; of Spain, to whom the treasure

thought they had heard shots in the stiffness but
the great height made this uncertain. At last
Duval returned with his pistols empty and, picking
up blunderbuss, he shot the rope and cut it high
up out of reach. The lieutenant was never seen
again, nor were the Indians.
For many years the weather worn rope hung
swaying against the rocks, warning to the timid
fishermen. Some twenty years later daring young
hafbreed discovered the path by which one could
climb up the face of the rocks, but he knew nothing
of the treasure. Others followed his footsteps,
that the pathway well known eighty years ago.
When the facts about Duva1 became known after
his sudden DEATH various attempts were made to
reach the top of the rock AS half of the people
who tried it lost their lives, and the disturbance
of the birds living it caused great annoyance to
the village, the provincial authorities passed law
forbidding anyone to attempt the ascent.
Some sixty years ago the Christina, al East
Indaman carrying great treasure, was lest; but
in what spot no one ever could be certain. Two
years later the crew of fishing schooner found on
a reef in the China Sea, known Silver Reef,
a chain cable and what the fishermen supposed
were Jumps of lead. They proved to be Sycee sill

they did not secure more when they had the oppor-
tunity of doing without consulting the Govern
ment, for the value of what they carried away was

In 1904 a treasure ship
with two million dollars
aboard sailed from South
American ports for Cadiz.
The crew mutined and
killed the Captain about
the time that they sighted
some small desert islands,
lying, as they thought,
two hundred miles south of
Madeira. They put the
ship into a little bay on
the south side of the
middle island, which they
described as high, fiat, and
green at the top. Here
they made a landing with
the treasure and buried
it in white sand above
high water mark. Soon
afterward the crew were
shipwrecked off the Span

few survivors, as he died,

Some twenty years ago
a Spanish steamer, the
Alfonso XII, foundered
in the Canaries. She car

gold. An expedition poorly
equipped was sent out and
nine boxes recovered. The
tenth is still there-a for

half millions of treasure,
blew up and sank in Ca

a part of the treasure, but
there is a huge sum left.
An instance of most sue

in the case of the Thetis,
which left Rio Janeiro in
1880, carrying eight hun

was lost the second day

to visit the Salvages, which were undoubtedly
the islands in point. Finding the middle island in
accessible, he landed another, Great Salvage,
and dug without result. No other serious attempt
has ever been made.
Off the little village of Perez, the shore of the
Gaspe Peninsula, lifts sheer out of the water the

places it's walls not only sheer but lean outward

a heavier line. Then Duvals lieutenant was drawn
