AN EPIC OF THE SEA

Valuables. In this way they built up
a fleet, and by 1880 they were
strong enough to drive out the Span
lards from Tortuga and make the is
land the first great stronghold of
piracy in the Indies. The galleons of
Spain on their return to Europe,
laden with rich treasure, became the
accustomed prey of the buccaneers
and many a gallant ship was sent
to Davy Jones locker after it's crew
were put to the sword or thrown
oVergoard and it's cargo rifed.
LOCALIZED Piracy.
But it was not until after 1855
when Admiral Penn, father of the
founder of the state of PENNSYLVANIA,
took possession of Kingston that
buccaneering became legaliZed pro-
fession. Commissions were issued
by the governor of Jamaica and also
by the governor of Tortuga, during
the period that it remained under
British control, under which British
vessels were authorized to prey upon
Spanish commerce. While the Eng
l1sh pirates made Jamaica or Tor
tuga their base the French establish
ed themselves in Santo Domingo and
SO great were their depredations that
the commerce of Spain was almost
swept from the seas. In time the
buccaneers had almost nothing to
prey upon, for Spanish ships scarcely
dared sail between Europe and
America, and thus deprived of their
sources of revenue the buccaneers
turned from the pillaging of vessels
to the sacking of towns.
Many desperate characters joined
the ranks of these Iegalized bucca-
neers. There was Francois L'Olon-
nais, who joined forces with Migual
de Vasco at Tortuga and proceeded
to the bay of Venezuela, where a
fort at the entrance was stormed and
250 of the garrison put to the sword.
The city of Maracaibo was next at
tackled and the town of Gibraltar
burned to the ground. To save Mar
acaibo from sharing a like fate the
inhabitants paid an enormous ran
som. When they sailed away the
buccaneers carried off the church
bells and crucifixes with the inten-
ton of building a church at Tortu-
ga circumstance which sheds a
peculiar light upon the spirit of the
times
The Sack of Panama.
One of the most noted of the buc-
cancers was the Welshman, Henry
Morgan, who sailed under a commits
sion issued by Sir Charles Modyford,
governor of Jamaica. His first nota-
BILE exploit was the capture of Porto
Bello on the Isthmus of Panama,
where he secured vast treasures in
money and other valuables. Embold-
ened by success he next attacked
Panama, impressed the monks and
nuns to assist him in the assault,
and after a desperate struggle car
ried the place. The city after being
plundered was given to the flames
and a large number of prisoners
were carried off. Morgan afterward
settled in Jamaica, was invested with
a government office and was knight

Crack Basket Ball Team
Should Have Support of Home People

The members of the Dawson bas-
ket ball team may Justly feel proud
of their team. Upon looking over
their record so far this season one
is reminded of the fact that the
home hopes" are not awfully bad
after all.
The most easily obtainable dope"
CAS- it is called is found upon a
slight perusal of the enviabIe record
of the Mercer University quintette,
which appeared here in fighting toga
Christmas week. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the Dawsonians held the
team from Macon to the close score
of 16 to II.
During the holidays the same Mer-
Ger team toured Georgia and Flor
ida, playing eleven games on the ex-
tended trip, and winning the total
eleven. Among the teams played
were some of the strongest in the
South, including such as the Allan
ia, Jacksonville and Tampa Y. NJ. G.
A. teams, and others of no mean i'm
portance On Saturday night in Ma
con they played the Alabama Poly
technic team of Auburn, winning
that also by a very decisive score.
Out of the dozen games played and
won by the Mercerians only that
with the Atlanta Y. M. G. A. was
won by a closer score than was the
one taken from the local bunch. The
score in Atlanta was "a to % in ia
vor of the Maconites and here it was
16 to II. This puts the local team
according to dope) ahead of Ameri-
Gus, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa,
st. Petersburg and a number of 9TH
ers. In the Tampa game Mercer
won SO to 8, while in the Southern
College game they overwhelmed that
team to the tune of 20 to 20.
OF course, a large portion of the
credit for this most excellent show
ing the Dawson team has made is
due the members of the speedy lit
tie uuintette. yet it must be remem-
bered that Prof. e. P Mosley has
untiringly given his spare time to-
ward training and teaching the
members of the team the fine points
of the game He has developed from
limited number of players a far
better team than have many coaches
who have an abundance of material
to pick from. The sport is clean
one; it is a form of exercise almost
unexcelled for physical development,
besides the many invaluable lessons
one learns in self-control, manliness
and loyalty to ones associates. The
entire team always needs the undi-
vided support of the Dawson people
in any contest in order to show their
