the gnbernatorial job and it ia posi-
BILE he might have done SO had there

county in the state senate and served

WAS FIRST PIONEER
ENcLlsHMAN DISCOVERED GOLD
IN CALIFORNIA.
Commander Of British Warship Turned
Pirate and Reasoned That Soil Of
California Must Do "RIchly
Auriferous."

A scarce book. which Is thought to
be the frst IN English to give an ac.
count Of the discovery OF gold in Call
fornia, has been discovered. 1t Is also
an account OF the exploits Of Capt.
George Shelyocke, one OF the most
! notorious pirates OF his time.
The title is "A Voyage Round the
World, by Way OF the Great Sea, Per
formed IN a Pirate Expedition During
the War Which Broke Out with Spain
10 the Year 171S" ShelYocke entered
the British navy before 1900, and is
said to have served under Benbow
When the war with Spain began two
vessels that were fitted out to cruise
against the enemy were put under
the command. respectively, OF John
Clipperton and Shelvocke.
Clipperton had the larger ship, the
Success. The Speedwell. which Shelly
ocke commanded, was OF "a guns and
100 men. He conceived grudge
against Clipperton, and, taking adyan-
tage Of gale of wind few days after
their departure from England, sepa-
rated from the Success. and did not
fall In with her again for nearly two
years. He hoisted an ambiguous en-
sign upon meeting a Portuguese ves-
sci near the coast Of Brazil, which
made her captain believe Shelvocke
was a pirate, and led to his paying as
ransom large sum OF moray and a
quantity OF valuable merchaddise.
Shelyocke sailed along the coast Of
Chile, capturing prizes and sacking
and burning Payta. Then. to escape \
Spanish ships of war. he made for the /
Island OF Juan Fernandez, where his
vessel was wrecked. From the re-
mains Of the SDeedwell they built a
small vessel OF 20 tons. captured d
Spanish ship OF 200 tons burden. sent
the crew of in the little bark, and
then made the Isle or Quito, where
they fell In with Clipperton's vessel,
The Success, but again separated.
Shelvocke then captured at sonson-
ate the Santa Familia Of 800 tons, and
when informed that peace had been
