stern voice of the captain, who was
giving his commands. The forepart
OF the vessel seemed to be firmly

shrek Of the siren. Then the fog lift

CLEAN from the Lizard light lay across
the deck. Then a cry was heard from
the shore, muffied and indistinct, then
the fog closed again and everything
was blottsd out.
The davits were being swung out
and the boats lowered with all posi-

BURIAL OF CROWN JEWELS.
Scottish Treasure That Was Hidden
Beneath Pulpit Of Parish Church.

The curious story OF the search
among tombstones for the stolen re.
gala revealed in the minutes of evil
dence heard by the viceregal commits
sion on the loss Of the Dublin castle
jewels recalls the interesting fact that
the Scottish row jewels, which mys-
%teriously disappeared at the time of
the Cromwellian invasion. were bur-
led for safety. They were located in
Dunottar castle, which was besieged
by Cromwell, and on the eve of sur.

mander Of the beleaguered force, man.
aged to elude the besiegers and get
the jewels out of the castle.
They were buried beneath the pull
pit In the parish church. and the place
where they were hidden was never
revealed till the restoration. Ogilvie
was rewarded with a baronetcy, and
Keith. who misled the Cromwellians
by stating that they were In the pos
session Of the exiled Charles II. was
made an earl.
The mysterious disappearance Of the
Dublin state jewels has had n GU
rious parallel. Some years ago a cas-
ket containing jewels Of the value OF
$4,000 disappeared under circum.
stances Of the greatest mystery from
the house Of the duchess of Leinster
In Dominic street, Dublin. In spite OF
the most thorough investigation no
trace Of the thieves could be discov-
cred. although m suggested that
more than one person Of rank could
throw light on the robbery.
The jewels were ultimately returned
to their noble owner, but to this day
we believe the mystery OF their disap-
remains unsolved.
