MAINE NEWS IN
BRIEF FORM

A number Of dead birds were seen
Thursday all around the wharves at
Portland where they had evidently been
trying TO rs against the wind during the
gale and had been dashed against some
thing that was hard enough to stun them
Then they dropped into the docks and
were drowned. Some were also found
dead on the wharves themselves. II is
evident that the mortality of birds was
very heavy in the section Wednesday
afternoon and evening.

terested few wild blades like himself in
the scheme, and they fitted up vessel
to go and search for the treasure. That
precious old bit of sheepskin was said to
be a map of one of the Twin Brother
islands, with the treasure spot duly
marked.
Ode Costa and his party put in here at
Paraminta, hired half dozen laborers,
and put out for the islands. 1t was just
at the time that Ybarra first turned up
here, with nothing in particular to do.
He fell in with De Costa, and was taken
along in some capacity. He happened to
know something about engineering and
surveying. They located the site of the
treasure by working out the intricate
arrangement of compass bearings recorded
on the map, and began to dig. They dug
and dug for weeks. Then they concluded
they had got those compass bearings
wrong, and they went over them again.
But they hadn't. So they dug little
longer, and then gave up in sheer disgust.
De Costa left that precious parchment
with Ybarra, probably as reward for his
ing to get hold of the little Spanish Jew
that had sold it to him with such
plausible tale of it's discovery.
Every one soon forgot all about the
affair-every one except Ybarra. He was
still incoming about in Paraminta. One
day he was struck with sudden idea
that made him almost jump out of his
shoes. He sat down and wrote letter
to the Naval Observatory at Washington,
and asked them if they could tell him
what had been the position of the North
Magnetic Pole about the year 1850, and
how much the compass had shifted during
the last two hundred years and in which
direction.

Ybarras letter must have reached the
desk of some underpaid and utterly bored
government employee, hired to answer
fool questions propounded by our idiotic
fellow citizens. And Ybarra's query was
no worse than the next. 1t was per-
functorily but succinctly answered. A
week after Ybarra had worked out new
series of compass bearings, his spade went
thump against the uppermost of those
little cedar casks buried in the sand.
aWE had reached the bungalow said
jacobson, "before he had finished
telling me all this. | invited him to
come in for a smoke, but he refused,
with curt shake of his head, and went
on with his story, standing at the foot of
the veranda, while | settled myself on the
steps, By this time l was convinced
that the man was telling the absolute
truth. pointed out to him that it was
no story to allow to reach the govern
ment's ears. They'd believe him quickly
enough, and, even at this late day, would
exact their share. Through some legal
chicanery they would find way to take
Villa Nueva-or a good part of it-away
from him.
"They're welcome to it, he retorted
bitterly. MY God! Jacobson, | wish
I'd never found the cursed stuff! I'm
