LURE OF TREASURE HUNTING
ture Do Not Discourage the
Seeker of Treasure.

For the sake OF romance and ad
venture and all that puts color into
life it is to be hoped that the failure
of the expedition which recently went
to the Isle of Cocos in search of pirate
gold will not mark the end of treasure
hunting. In the interest also of the
good town of Panama where the treas
ure seekers are wont to outfit aud buy
supplies. we should point out that
negative results never really proved
anything. There may be gold on Co
cos. There may be millions of pieces
of eight and pewels galore and wine
which the buccaneers, who had more
than they could drink, laid aside for a
rainy daY. Because many treasure
hunters have ransacked Cocos from
end to end no man can say that the
next treasure hunter will not find that
Tor which all the others have labored
and sought in vain
