So reports Pansy Barrows. who has re-
turned TO this port after taking part In
the futile undertaking in which he and
thirty-five others sailed on the auxiliary
schooner Genesee last December.
After three weeks of digging all that
the hunters uncovered were the skeletons
OF dozen or more cannibal natives
The great mass of gold was reported
to have been buried by a Maine mariner
decades ago and the story acted upon
came from a sailor named Brown. once
the old mariners cabin boy. 1t was
ascertained that the old mariner had
100000 on deposit in an Australian
bank. and this served to "clinch" the
story.

Of New York, Capt. Arthur L. Crowley of
Boston. James Mum of Texas and Ed
ward Kendell of Babylon. l.. l.. among
the promoters. The vessel was formerly

The Genesee. with thirty six on board.
sailed from New York on December Il
last The crew members were at first
kept in ignorance of their real purpose.
Barrows was the chief steward for
the cruise. He relates
ION February 81 we sailed out of
Tahiti to Tubai, and left our craft In the
beautiful harbor and went ashore. Ex-
citement ran high as news of the search
spread among the crew. Capt. Crowley
was. of course, armed with charts and
maps
The point sought was inland. and
upon arrival there we found a mound
where the treasure should have been. We
began digging frantically and continued
for three weeks. uncovering a huge
area. But we found only the bones and
finally gave up the task"
Barrows left the Genesee, now tied up
at South Brooklyn. and will take a
packet boat to the Cape Verde Islands.
