Those caverns. we afterward dis

mansion and lives In 1t In semifeudal
state with Calypso and me, IL able to
pass from one to the other BY UNDER

Ing source Of romantic satisfaction to

As to whether or not the mansion
and the treasure were actually Black
beard's--that Is. Edward Teach's-we
are yet in doubt. though we prefer to
believe that they were. At all events.
we never found any evidence to con-
meet them at all with Henry p. Tobias,
whose second treasure. we have every
reason to think, still remains undis-
covered.
As for the sinister and Inflated
Henry r. Tobias. Jr. we have since
learned-through Charlie Webster,
who every now and again drops In
with sailors from his sloop and carries
on the king" for duck hunting-that
his real name was quite different; he
must have assumed. as a nom de
guerre, the name we knew him BY, to
give color to his claim. I'm afraid,
therefore. that he was 4 plain scoun-
drel. after all. though It seemed to me
that ! saw CLEANS 10 him of something
better. and / shall always feel q sort
Of kindness toward him for the saving
grace Of gallant courtesy with which
he invested his abduction Of Calypso.
