Why Hunt the Treasures of

There's something about piracy

where the shadow OF the point cf the
rocks struck on the stroke of mid

doesn't like pirate stories is wrong,
somehow And perhaps il is our in.

makes us SO credulous OF tales OF the

South X street, Mrs. Nellie Clapp
appeared before Judge Chapman
in the superior court yesterday

liver the child into her care. Mrs.
Clapp stated that she had placed
her one-year-old daughter in the
custody of the Smiths and had
paid them for taking care of her,
owing to the fact that she was
compelled to work out and could
not properly care for the child
herself. The Smiths became at
tached to Florence and refused to
let her go. Mrs. Clapp and

residence and the child was re-

A trial was made to Cape

six hours sufficiently proved her
excellent qualities.
On the 22d of June, Hatteras
began to load the sledge. They
put in zoo pounds of salt meat,
three cases of vegetables and pre-
served meat, besides lime juice,
and flour and medicines. They
also took 200 pounds of powder
and stock of firearms. Includ-
