and seven members of the crew, who
went to find gold and treasure in a

The hurricane that wrecked the
successful defender of the Americas

two steamers feared to attempt a res

During the 90-mile-an-hour gale that
thrice had the Mayflower on her beam
ends she carried in her hold 5000
pounds of dynamite that threatened to
blow all hands into eternity at any

The Harvard men rescued are G. II.

S. II. Noyes, Newport, r. l.; Hayden

The students had organized the

the belief that they had located a
sunken Spanish ship containing chests
Of gold and treasure. They had a
pilot with them who was to find the
place in the West Indies where the
ship went down or he was not to get
any pay. They chartered the Mayflow'

they stored dynamite, diving suits and
stores for long cruise.
