how comparatively little they couio TAKE.
Keatinp afterward realized almost one nun
dred and fftv thousand dollars from wnat
he finally managed to take away. 1t was
the best they could do; the crew might miss
them at any minute, and it was perilous hard
work Juggling their loads through the tangied
foreSt over the uneven ground. They pushed
through somehow: but Heating was the only
one who got clean away. He took goou
daaI of nains to tell us over and over again
how Bopue had fallen into the sun wnie
irving to scramble into the boat; now .ne
weight of his pack prevented his dong So
and how he finally was swept away ana ue
voured by a shark. 1t may have happened
that way, or it may have been some otlxl 1,,

it is all part of black story.
Heating escaped with his plumber, ieav-
ing the schooner to its fate, and the men
never came back,-and four days alter ne
was picked up in his open boat by Spanish
coasting vessel. which landed him safely on
the Costa Rica shore near Punta Arenas.
Somehow or other, he had managed to hang
onto a part of his valuables, and he slowly
worked his way back to st. Johns, where ne
told his tale and deposited much money IN
the bank.
"That was the way he told the story IN
the cabin of our little vessel; and, except
for the manner of Bogue's taking Off
perhaps that, tool have every reason to
believe that he was telling the truth. That

friended him. and no doubt in revealing ms
secrets he meant to repay them; but insteao
he fastened upon them the lure OF Cocos'
which resulted in the death OF one ana mace
the other a .wanderer One of the Hacketts
is still living, now making his home at vlc-
toria. British Columbia, engaged IN the lish-
cries. and it NAV be unnecessary to say that
the treasure still beckons him. AT the age
of sixty he is anxious to try again.
Fred Hackett's Story
ERED HACKETT is the name of the one
living. and last year he wrote an account
Of what old man Heating told him and his
brother, and it is here appended:
1--WE had taken old man keatlng on our
boat. NV brother and l owned the snug
collier Lord Dufferin and were busy carrying
cargo between Canadian ports we felt
Kindness toward the old man, as he became
a sort of outcast in his old days. owing to the
uglv stories about the deaths of both Ihomp-
son and Bogue can see HIM now, s!tting IN
our warm cabin over his glass OF stlff grog'
as he told us the story of his treasure, throw
ing back his head and staring at the beams
in the ceiling. 1t was stormy night, blow
inp hard outside: but we were all snug be-
low, and both my brother and l listened
closely, as the yarn was good one. He gave
us all kinds of details; for it was plain to see
that he had been living the scenes over ana
over again in his mind, ever since the day,
twenty-five years before. when he and Bogue
had gone ashore on the island and struck OH
into the tropical bush after the treasure
1T was hot day in June, he said, but as
pleasant as could BE-; and he and Bogue

And the Hacketts Tried

THE next speaker among those whom we
L call in the line of descent was the elder
of the Hackett brothers. who got an exped1-
ton ready as soon as he could after learning
Keating's story. In 1885 he took ship for
Cocos; but only reached Havana, Cuba,
where he died of yellow fever in the naval
hospital. His crew became dIsheartened and
returned home without seeking the island
Fred Hackett. the one still living, was
wlaler. and he stuck to that work for ten
years after hearing Keating's tale before the
fascination of the golden quest got full con-
troll but in 1895 he formed an alliance with
Keating's widow and they resolved to try.
They outftted a ship named the Aurora;
but Hackett says their failure was due to the
fact that the vessel was too small and I'M
properly supplied Worse than all else. they
had aboard six former sea Captains who con-
stantlv quarreled. The party reached Cocos
Island: but did not find the treasure as the
old man had described it. because the seis-
mic disturbances that filled the caves had
come fifteen or twenty years before
Hackett went back to the island SIX years
later; and again failed.
Now note the connection along the line

can De done. Nlth d party
l should go and uncover the
pigskins and the boxes OF Pc
ruvian gold that Keating
told my brother and myself
about. We should require a
hydraulic outfit powerful
enough to wash away the
landslide now covering the
spot concealing the treasure
and the rest is easy.
Keating's return to New
foundland was about 1916,
and so excited the people
that many expeditions were
ready to outfit. One ship,
the Gauntlet, finally did get
away, taking Heating along
as pilot and guide. This
ship was wrecked on the
reefs in the Bay of Panama,
and Heating again came
back as the only survivor;
but he had not again set
foot on Cocos Island. He
