take it was perhaps the largest pirate
gang ever gotten together. 1t had thir-
ty-seven ships and 1000 men. Morgan
was admiral and he divided the fleet into
two squadrons and made a hxeo scheins

pirates engaged with Morgan they did

had the hops of plundering either Carta-
gena Panama or Vera Cruz They
selected the place by lot, and the lot fell
upon Panama.
Coming to the isthmus they made their
way up the River Chagres to what was
then known as the Castle of the Chagres
This was San Lorenzo, picnicking place
for the canal employees of today. There
was a fort there and some sort OF
structure called a castle. which l sup
pose was only blockhouse.
At any rate. they took the castle and
fort after strong defense on the part of
the Spaniards. who cried out. Come on,
ye English dogs, enemies to God and
our king, Ye shall not go to Panama
this bout
The pirates used fireballs and finally
burned down the fort. They lost about
onoe hundred men during this battle.
One can follow the road from San
Lorenzo to old Panama now. 1t goes
right through the jungle. but is plainly
marked. The pirates cut their way
through it and almost starved on the
way. AT one time they were in such
bags which they had found in the
fort, but this food fermented in their
stomachs and gnawed their very
bowels.
They had other hardships. and at last
came to Las Cruces. where the new
road is to go. AS they neared the
town they saw smoke, and supposed
that the Spaniards were cooking their
dinner. They found that the smoke
came from the ruins. The Spaniards
had fired Las Cruces and fled. The
pirates greedily drank some Peru wine
that was left. but the wine was poison

death

for ransom under threats that they would

For a year after this raid there was no
city of any size on the Pacific coast of
the isthmus. Then the Queen OF Spain
decreed that Panama should be rebuilt.
and a plan was made which placed the
city where it is now. The old site was
much worse than the present one, al
though the latter is not good. The land
ing at old Panama was such that ships
could not come in st low tide, and even
today the large steamers anchor at Bal
boa.
The building of the present Panama
was begun about 23T years ago. The
work was slow and the cost enormous

1t is said by the best authorities that
old Panama was considerably larger
than the Panama OF today. When de
stroyed by the pirates it had over
fifty thousand inhabitants. Il had zoo
5000 houses of ordinary build Many
of it's buildings were of brick. The
bricks We're made square and were
about two inches thick. They were
burnt red. Many Of these bricks lie
about the ruins today.
I am told that >it is the intention
of the Panaman government to make
excavations all over the site of the
old city and to open the past far
as possible to the light of the pres
ent. Already there is a great tourist
travel out to old Panama, and with the
completion of the canal this will be
one of the sights of the country. A
build an electric railway, and this will
probably be constructed in time.
This country fairly teens with his
tory. All the wealth of the Pacific
coast of our continent was brought
here. and the pirates and buccaneers
lowered about these waters, hoping to
catch and rob the Spanish galleons.
Now and then the cities were besieged
and one Of the most graphic stories of
Morgan and his band in the capture
Of Panama. The story was noted down
by one of the pirates, who kept a rec

Esquemeling tells first of the capture
of Porto Bello by Morgan. The forts
which he took are still in existence. and
they lie across the harbor near the great
quarries from where we have been get
ting the stone for the concrete work
of the Gatun locks.
Porto Bello is practically nothing to-
day. but in Sos it was one of the chief
landmarks of the new world, and was
importance. 1t was then the strongest
fortified town that the King Of Spain
had in the West Indies. with the eX-
captions only of Cartagena and Havana
ESquemeling says that its castles were
almost impre enable, and that the gar
riSon consisted of 500 soldiers 1t had
a population of about 5000 people, and
among its buildings were some great
warehouses. where the silver and gold
were brought upon mules. and where the
ships landed the negroes brought here
to be used as slaves.
When Morgan took Porto Beilo he slip
ped in and embarked some distance up
the coast. He then marched with his
buccaneers down to the forts and put
the Spaniards to the sword. He blew
another. The battle was a terrible one,
and the Spaniards fought bravely. The
governor of the town refused to sur
render, saying, Il would rather die a
soldier than be hanged as coward
After taking the town the pirates loot
ell it. They tortured the citizens to
make them give up their wealth and this
with such cruelties that many died on
the rack.

STYLES IN HATS

Millinery of the moment shows a
wide diversity of style and shape,
since the large picture hats, half hid
den under a mass of ostrich feathers
and surmounted. too. by paradise
plumes and ospreys, are enjoying an
equal share of fashions favor with
the small. close-itting shapes in
straw or silk, which can boast moth
ing at all in the way of trimming be-
yond a couple of mercury wings, per-
haps. and a bow of ribbon.
Between these two extremes there
are hats of every description. carried
out not only in straw. but in various
materials, such as lawn, batiste or
spotted muslin. 1t is true hat these
fabrics wege looked upon at n time
as suitable only for infantile head
gear. but they are accepted now as
suitable almost beyond recognition
by the addition of frills of soft lace,
draperies of satin ribbon and quaint
little posies or garden flowers.
