it was populous praae, and said to have been
the richest city in all the world-these riches
having come from the gold fields Of Peru and
been stored there by the Spaniards.
And SO it came to pass that Morgan and his
band OF bold buccaneers fought great battle
with the Spaniards who inhabited Old Panama
and the surrounding country, and won the VIC
tory-though at a fearful cost. Hundreds Of his
men were slain while it is recorded that 5000
spaniards persisted on the field. After this VIC
tory Morgan and his men took possession OF the
city, robbed the people of all they could find and
then set fire to the houses. It is said that the
con1agration lasted an entire week. Not house
was left standing the blackened walls of
the once splendid castle and the wreck Of the old
cathedral remain to tell the story of the frightfu
havoc that was wrought by these murderous pt
rates of that distant day.

A few years ago great excitement
was caused In Iceland by the an
nouncement that gold had been found
near Reykjavik. A company was or
ganized for placing the precious metal
on the market. But it was soon found
that the gold did not occur in paying
quantities. Shortly afterwards gold
was found at another place in the
same ne1ghborhood, and the land was
bought by some cool-headed business
men. who made no haste in obtaining
returns on their investments. Now
they have rented out their holdings
to an English concern which is going

The annual Greenland fur auction
