southeast of Corpus Christi, Tex !.
probably are doomed to disap
pointment, in the opinion of DR..
J. o. Dyer, local writer on
historical and scientific subjects.
The rush of treasure seekers began
with the discovery recently of 20
skeletons popularity believed by
many to be those of members of
he crew of Spanish treasure ship
which fouDdered off the Texas
coast early in the Eighteenth
century. No record is available
of any such wreck.
The s'life" of a skeleton buried
in the sands of the beaches of the
coastal country, Dr.. Dyer points
out, is not over 40 years old.
He says also treasure ships from
Mexico to.Spain were discontinued
after 1920, partly because of the
activities of Jean Laffitte's feet of
buccaneers.
Even before that time the
Spaniards tried to avoid excessive
losses from storms aud Laiitte's
feet of bucaneering vessels and 50
Spaniards transported less than 20
tons of silver bullion to the vessel.
Then, the current rate of Mexico
was approximately $40 q troy
pound. The most valuable of all
Lafitte's prizes, the Sevilla, carried
only $3.50, 900 IN specie.
Iaftitte's captured treasure,
according SO the records exiant,
was buried in three caches. Two
Of these were located on Galveston
Island and the third on small
island TO the east, which was
completely Washed away DUNG
storm in 1929.
There have been many reports
of the discovery on this coast OF
caches of coin or chests from
trading ships containing from
